Spray Painting a 3D Printed TESLA ROADSTER
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 ноя 2020
- I spray-painted this 1/8th scale 3d printed Tesla Roadster with 2 coats of white primer. Then, I applied 3 coats of metallic red and immediately sprayed a clear coat. The windows were painted with gloss black and a coat of clear coat as well to get more shine.
The bottom of the car and some details were painted by hand with matte black. Everything was put together with super glue. Although I thought it was gonna be a quick project, it took me months to finish :D
Materials (with affiliate links):
- White primer: amzn.to/3noGrAG
- Metallic red: Dupli-Color Auto Color code 50-0170
- Red paint for calipers: amzn.to/35scedH
- Clear coat: 2-Layer Clear Varnish Automotive Spray Paint
- Super Glue: amzn.to/35xoKZE
- Filament Prusament PLA amzn.to/3AfFYs8

Critique:
This test's main purpose was to review the constraints of printing a 3d model that was not meant to be printed. Although this is an extremely high-quality and beautiful model, it needs extra work to be 3d printable. For example, all the windows and lights were printed 1% to 5% smaller than the originally intended size because otherwise don't fit. The parts need a gutter between them, and these ones are exact to the millimeter which is not accurate on physical objects. The same with the wheels and brakes: I drilled the holes to be 1mm wider in order to fit everything together.

I hope you enjoy the video!
I'd really appreciate if you consider subscribing to my channel :)
Thx
This was one of the most satisfying videos I have ever watched
That looks incredible! I would next try remodeling a vacuum-form friendly design to try and make Lexan RC car bodies.
Awesome Build !! Nicely DONE !!! Love the color 😎👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Beautiful job!
Awesome project! Beautifully recorded and edited 🔥👏
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Looks wild!!
Awesome model and excellent production quality 👍
Thank you so much!
Excellent work. Well documented. That was fun to watch.
Thank you very much Josh! Really appreciated 🙏
You got amazing 3d
Very grate job 👏
Wow! This is awesome :) Nice model and the editing of this video was great! Keep up the good work and have a nice day :) Greetings from Denmark (Tesla fan)
Thanks a lot for the kind words Simon :)
Good work
It looks amazing man
Thanks a lot!
So cool
Beautiful 😍
Thanks a lot alessandro!
Beautiful, because tesla roadster is beautifuĺ
Так
This was so satisfying
Thank you so much!
real realistic
wtf its so good wow just wow im in awe
Hey, thanks a lot! I'm glad you like it
Hey.. thank you for your great tutorial!.. i plan to buy prusa mini also.. 😊😊
Hey thanks! The mini is amazing. The size is not a problem at all and the quality is supreme
Awesome project!! I love the documentation on this as well, I'm going to try this out myself! Any other projects lined up like this? I have been trying to find a Lambo model that is as detailed as this one is but no cigar!
Hey, let me know if you find a good detailed Lambo! Though probably I'll be working on a body for an RC truck, more than a project like the roadster. Sanding for months was torture :D Hope it goes better for you.
have you tried applying polishing compound to finish te clear coat, is great fun and makes it smoooth
I bought polishing compound for it but never applied it. Now that it's been a while I should give it a try because it's loosing some shine.
Wow that one is gona be on a shelf behind glass i take it hehe
look supa dupa cool
Thanks!
Love it ❤ 😍 💖 ❣
Excelente result! I admire your patience. When I try to finish my 3D printed models I end up tired of sanding and giving it a coat of silicone spray to restore some gloss.
I'll do that next time! It was a pain to sand the pieces for months.
😲wow👍
hey can u making tank t 90 ?
Omg its so cool do a corvette c8
Thank you so much! The c8 is awesome. I'd do the cr8 tho. That racing look adds A LOT
Keep this up and this channel will take off!!! cough cough Space X...
Hahahaha thanks a lot!
Just finish the serie! Really awesome work!! I'm looking to get a 3d printer and I was debating Original Prusa i3 MK3S+ or MINI + and saw you use a Mini. How you like it? Thanks. ...btw, Really enjoy the format of your video production. I'm tempting to say, guessing from your name you speak another language? ...it's so, consider upload versing with the video titles on that language too, because I'll see this channel growing quickly 😉
Heyy, thanks a lot for the nice words! The Mini is amazing: the printing quality, low noise, auto bed leveling, etc. Sometimes I wish I have that extra space of the Prusa i3, but most of the times I don't need it. I think it's personal preference, though. I needed something with small footprint and relatively cheap. I'd say whatever you choose you won't regret it.
@@LeandroLinares Thanks
Hi nice video!
Could you make a tutorial on how to 3d print it?
Hi! Which part would you be interested in learning about? I can recommend some videos maybe. For me it was just downloading the files and pressing a button basically :D
i would like to see the settings that you uaed. I tried to print one by myself and it came out with some layer shifts on detailed areas like the headlights :(
i am a tesla fan and i have a roadster
Felicitaciones! te quedo re lindo! copate y subí los stl a thingiverse jajajaja
Francisco, gracias! Los stl se pueden descargar aca: cults3d.com/en/3d-model/art/tesla-roadster-2020-3d-model-for-3d-printing-stl-files
How long did this take to make?
It took around 6 months working on weekends mostly (except printing the parts, which I did on week days). I guess working while filming the process is what took the most
What material did you print on the 3d printer?
I've used PLA. The easiest material to glue, sand and paint
how long did it take to 3d print
Hey Paul, in the beginning it took around 125 hours, but after adding all those coats of putty and paint I had to reprint some parts 1 or 2% smaller to fit. That added 20 more hours or so :D
I also want to print this model, can you tell me what kind of sray and colors did you use. :)
Yes, sure! I wrote a blog post with a list of materials. I detailed the metallic red color code, but it doesn't need to be precisely the same. I’ve used paint for real cars (spray putty, white base, metallic red, and 2-layers varnish). Send pics when you paint it! lean8086.com/articles/post-processing-3d-prints/
Thank you, 😆 you can make more videos where you print other Tesla car
That would be awesome. It was a very long process though 😆 I'm not sure if I'll use sandpaper for a long time haha. Let me know how it goes for you
With 3d printing can you change the length and width to fit any car
Yes sure. I actually printed this one bigger than the original model. It could also be smaller
@@LeandroLinares how can a regular person who doesn't have a printer get one
@@lamonthill7120 the best advice would be find a public library, or makerspace, or a local community of makers. There is ALWAYS one of those available. You need to find them. It's also nice learning with other people before jumping into it completely. Hope it helps!
Oh my gosh looks way better than you buy it
Did you design the program or purchase it ?
Not sure which program you're referring to
@@LeandroLinares the Tesla print file ? I am trying to work out how to get my concept car project going
ah, nope, not my design. I got it from here cults3d.com/en/3d-model/art/tesla-roadster-2020-3d-model-for-3d-printing-stl-files
@@LeandroLinares thanks
What is name your 3d printer?
Hey, I'm using a Prusa Mini.
👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Loved your comment 😂😂😂😂
Труда много. НО покрашено плохо. Было бы круто, если использовалась SLA печать для воплощения салона автомобиля, открывание дверей, применение аэрографа и электроники в подсветке салона и фар.
pour consruire en gmax... mon caractère autodidacte
That's worth about $68
why you only got 303 subscribers tf
Haha thanks a lot!
nice project, turns out nice. Love how you done it.
as modeler: sorry mate,poor paint job:(
mon idéal était d'aboutir à une société nationale marocaine de jouets pour enfants
NICE!!! BUT FINGER PRINT!!!!
Hahahahaha totally worth it 🤓
Can ur drive ?
Do u sell them?
Give u $20 for it
Where are the mirrors? and why have you skipped the most interesting and time consuming process of sending and filling
The actual roadster will not have mirrors, but cameras only!
Is like doing real Tesla.
