How to make Car Parts by 3D Printer and Fiberglass / Custom Fender

- Hi
In this video, I'm repairing a car's fender with a 3D printer and fiberglass. Plastic is not very resistant to weather conditions and the impact of, for example, stones while driving. The printout was used as a mold for the fiberglass. This guarantees high durability.
The form was created using the Ender 3 printer and PET-G filament.

Was just researching some methods. This is along the lines of what I was thinking but not exactly. For some interior parts in mind I was thinking a 3d printed skeleton to stretch fabric over. Basically the old school method of building a wood frame, but replaced with a plastic honeycomb or something.
I think there would definitely be potential there. One thing I can think of is fitting a speaker pod. Warm the frame up a bit and aim the speaker as needed, then glass. Seems easier in concept than shimming, checking, shimming, rechecking.
Could provide a cleaner method than clay for custom panels and dashboards and what not too.
you could leave petg together with fiberglass, the polyester resin bonds to it extremely therefore making part even stronger
A good is prep is mandatory. Use a carnauba wax a leave a 4h gap between each application of wax (3). As a ref a mat 450 g/m2 will give a 1mm thick layer. Don’t use polyester resin over 3d print mold, the styrene content will melt it… To trim, wear an overall and face mask, use a angle grinder with a fiber disk or a diamond one. Good job!
I've made a few parts in a similar fashion to this. The only recommendation I can add is that I use a layer of woven fabric on the initial layer, lay in the chopped strand fabric loosely with plenty of extra resin, then lay on another layer of woven fabric. This lets me push and massage the layers together without the chopped strand material becoming an unmanageable soup.
Did you add a release agent or did the epoxy (?) Release easily from the petg?
Good work! Using ABS filament is also an option for replacing plastic on cars as well as it handles heat decently.
What about PC?
@@sztorm94 PC or maybe even PETG would be good choices, PETG is pretty easy to print compared to PC
and ABS is what the dashboard was made of when they injection molded it
@@ConnorR.mp3 from my perspective PETG is as easy as PLA. I've never tried PC, but definitely I want to! I'm trying to find replacement for ABS because of its poisonous fumes.
Quanti strati di vetroresina hai fatto e a che spessore sei arrivato??
Hai messo l'alveolare in mezzo?
Grazie e ottimo lavoro!!!!
How do you measure the fitting? I want to make some custom body kits, but I don't know how to measure the fitment
Put of your big boy pants and get ready for material waste
Noch einer der auf ikea spiegel druckt ich auch. Was für ein fan duckt ist das denn. Hast du ne stl dazu?
Wow this is exactly what I was looking for.
Diseñare el frente y salpicaderas de mi Peugout, me podrías ayudar con algunas dudas?
Este es mi primer proyecto de este tipo. No tengo mucha experiencia pero te escribiré alguna información que puede ser de utilidad.
- Imprimí 4 prototipos antes de alcanzar las dimensiones.
- Usé un betún incoloro para zapatos como separador entre resina y plástico (realmente funciona perfectamente)
- El programa es Fusion 360
- Apliqué 3-4 capas de fibra de vidrio.
Una gran cantidad de endurecedor aumenta la temperatura de la resina por lo que puede deformar el molde.
Buena suerte
How long does something like that take to print?
Moc pěkná práce.
will I be able to do the same using PLA filement.
thanks! im gonna use this to make a replica of one of my favorite fallout cars: the Atomic V-8(corvega is the company)
what are your Ender 3 mod?
Awesome work...What profile settings are you using?
Thank you
I don't use any special settings. Default IdeaMaker profile.
Hotend temperature - 235
Table -60
I decreased the print speed because my printer has an direct extruder.
Best way to do this,is to use either way the plastic piece 3D printed combined with fibreglass and resin….it works very well
Could also do some carbon pattern on the outside
how do you make the precise measurement for 3D printed model ?
In Fusion 360 you can import a photo, then you scale it to real size. I marked two points on the original element at a distance of 30mm, these points were used in the program to calibrate the dimensions.
However, I made six trial molds before I was able to adjust the angles and dimensions.
Type in RUclips "HOW TO INSERT IMAGE IN FUSION 360"
You will find the guides that I used.
@@FuKUROu-Night thanks for the help bro!!
@@malvindieter4682 i did a video on this on my other channel using fusion 360 to model a car. ruclips.net/p/PLBDfGh8A8kXUOahS8yk-t0o1nkyzGGQyO
Fusion is a great tool.
Note to the content creator which you may or may not know. Mold prep is very important. The smoother the mold the less work you will have later. I suggest a PVA release film after you wax. Pva can be sprayed or brushed on and is cheap insurance. Also when you put the first layer of resin down let it get tacky. Will depend on the resin you use and ratio. Once it is tacky apply a little more and start whetting your first layer. Random chop strand will be easier to work with here but be heavier and take more resin. Also before the first layer you can use gel coat so the top surface is easy to prep. Ive spent many hours getting it wrong and throwing away molds, bucks and parts :(
Hi, are you available to do some stl files also for some car body parts?
You can find this on fivr, lots of people have these skills nowadays for hire
Hello. How much time it took for 3d printer to print that part?
How did you create your STI files of the part you need to replace??
Software is fusion 360, and he must have measured things. I've done similar things for a bike
I would be interreates to see the whole part on the whole car. As there is not much to be seen at the end.
How you measure that for precision design?
I took a photo with two points marked at a distance of 10cm. After importing into the program, I was able to set the dimensions.
However, my method is not perfect, I made 6 prints before I was satisfied with the design.
So cool
Why not just use super glue to attach the two parts?
Sehr cooles video!! Ich habe auch schon etwas mit Glasfaser experimentiert aber war nicht so ganz zufrieden mit dem Ergebnis. Ich werde es wohl nochmal probieren müssen :D
Seems a whole lot simpler to just 3D print the part and use it instead of making a 3D printed mold and using fiberglass. Plenty of good fiber infused filaments that are strong, flexible, and made for this.
Chopped fiber in a filament is nowhere near as strong as the fibers in fiberglass mat. Also, the 3D printed parts would have weak seams where you glued them together. Also, fancy filaments would make a printed fender way more expensive than printing a mold and using fiberglass
4:37 what is that Heated Clip Tool?

Thankyou
καλησπέρα, πολύ ωραία δουλειά, με πιο πρόγραμμα σχεδίασες?
Καλησπέρα, χρησιμοποίησα το Fusion 360
Au brate slatki koje mučenje
Καλημέρα.. Θα ήθελα να ρωτισω τι υγρό ρίχνεις μαζι μετον πολυεστερα;
Καλημέρα
Όσον αφορά το κομμάτι της ταινίας 8:02, συνέδεσα και τα δύο στοιχεία με υαλοβάμβακα, που είναι το ίδιο από το οποίο έφτιαξα ολόκληρο το στοιχείο. Σήμερα έχει περάσει σχεδόν ένας χρόνος από την ηχογράφηση και το στοιχείο κολλάει, επιπλέον δεν υπάρχει σκουριά.
Ευχαριστώ πολύ για την απάντηση....
Απλά πολυεστερας δεν καίει το καλούπι γιατι συκονη θερμοκρασία ξερω.... Ευχαριστώ πολύ και πάλη

@@FuKUROu-Night thank you sir.
I hope you save some hondas while you're at it
mal ganz ehrlich, wenn ich schon nen 3d drucker habe, warum sollte ich nicht gleich den 3d druck an das fahrzeug bauen? macht doch keinen sinn den druck wegzuschmeißen und sich die arbeit mit glasfaser zu machen.
вообще ничего не понял...что, зачем, про что? одни колеса увидел и всё.
Um... proper mold release? Corner radiuses and draft angles? A plastic bag and a vacuum cleaner to get the air bubbles out? A bit of grey / black pigment in the resin to make the part "immune" to scratches? Wouldn't call this a "how-to"...
непонял.
Bello...ma se usi questa tecnica ruclips.net/video/i1KITQ-2goY/видео.html e la gomma siliconica applicata sullo stampo in petg e poi stratifichi con resina già colorata di nero ti risparmi un sacco di lavoro
This is inovation for cars tbh
If you don't explain what you're doing you should change the title from "how to make" to "watch me make".. Its not a how to if you're just looking for attention..
negative view due to, showing more of the time it took your compressor to charge than you did the finished job.
