Nice work, but you said your sponsors name wrong and got it wrong in the description too 😅 They're called "High Performance Academy", not "Horsepower Academy".
3:40 for future projects that don't involve carbon fiber, I recommend not using superglue. It does not hold up to UV or heat and will fail before the ASA. I recommend plastic weld staples. They're not pretty but they hold a lot better than you'd expect, and you can always just sand and bondo the melted portions.
1:48 for decades manufacturing for body kits were expensive and alwaaaaaaaaaaays needed LOTS of work to fit properly…now that scanners and 3D print machines are so readily available, I can’t wait to see more and more of these amazing projects. Also…with zero interest in a lot of any sort, I do hope that the technology will make accessories like this more accessible.
I really like this oem plus look suits the car perfectly. I have only one suggestion. I know it's your first time, but for the next fenders you can try blocks sand the details before the last wet sand. This will remove that waves that are visible on the final shots.
What a great diy project. Sweet little beat too. You've inspired me to do some rear spats for my 97 Corolla G6 (6 gear "sporty" special edition, pictured in profile pic)
Good work, they came out looking great! Inspired to try covering my plastic over-fenders, but have also gained little appreciation for the joys of doing bodywork lol.
Thank you for documenting this process. I am working on designing and 3D printing a tail section for my motorcycle. This gave me intuitive know-how and step-by-step insight on how to complete that goal. Thanks!
I would recommend using blender for making body kits. It’s what I use and with a few easy shortcuts you can resolve quite a few of the mentioned issues you have with your modelling software❤️💪
@@IMEEMADE Remove the filament at least at the edge... If you want a more durable part, you can remove all the PLA inside, just keep the outside carbon fiber, and reinforce the inside with some layer of fiberglass/carbon fiber
Could you explain how you use the point cloud from the 3D scan as a guide to "fit" the new fender design on them. In the video you only show the frontal view, which is intuitive but i don't see how the point cloud data get part fo your design so that the new fender fit snug against the car body. Would love to try something like that.
Yes I made a quick video on my instagram. You can use the “pull” command in Fusion to get each point on the fender model to attach to the 3D scanned mesh.
Legit work mate, thanks friend. I have been looking at 3d printing for miniatures but I think this just sealed the deal. How much was the bambulab model you went for?
I think you could of gone a full filler bog stage before applying the carbon coating. Get it real smooth beforehand. Defiantly can make gloss look smooth.
First attempt: you cover your 3D part.... Second attempt: your 3D part is the mold... It's a little bit tricky to make a female mold for few complicated parts, not for wing... 3 or 4 layers of fiber glass are always better/stronger/lighter:more durable than a PLA/PETG core cover of fiberglass....
@ honestly if it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t of been able to design kits for cars. I’m doing a whole bumper that is wider to fit front widebody fenders. The front bumper is definitely the most difficult iv had to do
Im sorry, but I think your t-spline method is really limiting you in actually getting the shapes you want. Once everything is out in the sun you can really see the inorganic warp caused by your drafting method.
Nice work, but you said your sponsors name wrong and got it wrong in the description too 😅

Ahhhhhh!!! I’m the worst 😅 thanks for pointing it out mate!
how??? 😂
"I'm better than I was yesterday, and i think that's pretty cool." ...words to live by buddy. Your BEAT looks awesome.
As a car fan and
3D printer fan and
Classical music fan,
your BGM is so satisfying.
Thank you!

Thanks for the advice man! Definitely will do that next timd
Man you made this look so easy! Great work!!!
Thank you so much man!
Coming from someone who has worked on carbon fiber and fiberglass on aircraft for 20+years, you did a great job! Keep it up!
Thank you very much!
What a great diy project. Sweet little beat too. You've inspired me to do some rear spats for my 97 Corolla G6 (6 gear "sporty" special edition, pictured in profile pic)
Awesome! That Corolla looks so dope!
@@IMEEMADE thx man, that's kind of you to say. now go make me some more videos to enjoy! ;)

Glad the video was helpful!
Great job! Looks way better than most of aftermarket products!
Thank you! I'm really happy with how they came out.
We love how this turned out! Great job!
Thank you!! It’s all holding together thanks to you 🙂
Learned a lot from this, thanks!
Great video. Fenders look cool. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the support as always!
Please tell me what wing you have on the beat, it looks so good. Also for the carbon you did really well, maybe I should do that as well🤔
Thanks man! It’s a 326 Power wing
Bro, just one word: INCREDIBLE!
Greets and love from Germany
Thank you so much!
Cool beat! Love the number plates in your garage
Thank you!
That is so damn cool. This process will be perfect for my 80 C10 project!
Thanks! C10s are fun projects
Nice job dude. This gives me the confidence to tackle my fenders!
Right on man! You can do it!
I would recommend using blender for making body kits.
It’s what I use and with a few easy shortcuts you can resolve quite a few of the mentioned issues you have with your modelling software❤️💪
Thanks! Blender is definitely on my list of things to learn!
Wow! Very great job and video.
Thank you very much!
Very cool man! So they are basically made out of the filament and covered with a sheet of carbon fiber? How do you plan on bolting them on
?
Yup! They’ll be double sided taped on for now and in the future likely panel bonded if I ever commit to a design lol
@@IMEEMADE Cool! But if it were for you to do bolt holes, how would you design them?
@@kizoyumeOne idea might be to use heat-set threaded inserts. They are basically a thread you melt in with a soldering iron
@@IMEEMADE Remove the filament at least at the edge...
If you want a more durable part, you can remove all the PLA inside, just keep the outside carbon fiber, and reinforce the inside with some layer of fiberglass/carbon fiber
thats amazing man! Def need to see the rest
Thanks man! More updates are coming soon!
와... 정말 너무 멋지십니다 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 게라지에 갈비, 불고기, 떡볶이, 만두 보고 한국분이실거 같았어요! 아마 맞겠죠?? 저도 3D스캐너 이번에 구입해서 오버펜더 프린팅해서 쓰려고 하는데 이 영상이 딱뜨네요 ㅋㅋㅋ 재밌게 보고갑니다! 내공이 어마어마하시네요!!!
녜 한국사람 맞읍니다. 이 영상이 도움이 되어서 정말 다행입니다. 댓글 주셔서 감사합니다!

@@IMEEMADE thanks. I think the links to your IG from both your website and YT profile are broken, but found you anyway.
Cool project! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
yo that was sick! thanks for the inspiration :)
Thanks! Glad I could help
Awesome result. Looking forward to seeing this progress!
Any plans to share or sell the scan of your beat?
Thank you! Yes definitely. It’ll be in our website for free download soon!
Legit work mate, thanks friend.
I have been looking at 3d printing for miniatures but I think this just sealed the deal. How much was the bambulab model you went for?
I went for the X1C with the AMS cost like $1400 USD all in. They’re having a Black Friday sale right now!
Well done. And great job getting a tool everyone should have for free that cost too much
they do not look 3D printed at all, well done!
Thank you! I’m really happy with how they came out
nicely done, how did you give your model thickness so its printable?
There is a feature in Fusion called “thicken” where I can set it to any dimension
Looks like a ford escort from uk from the side that’s mad haha cool project
I would definitely recommend blender for a project like this but it came out REALLY good!
Thank you! Yes definitely need to take a crash course on blender soon
I think you could of gone a full filler bog stage before applying the carbon coating.
Get it real smooth beforehand.
Defiantly can make gloss look smooth.
For sure I think you’re definitely right!
did you got itchy when working with carbon fiber?
Yes but wearing long sleeves help
Great work
2:13 i saw him model an he forgot one N-gon, a face with more than 4 vertice, and that makes me crazy 🤣
😂😆🤣 I got it eventually haha
Brilliant 👍
Thank you
nice! i wonder how stable it is with 3d print + 1 layer of carbon fiber. might actually hold up in comparison to the original thin steel panel.
It’s pretty sturdy! Though I’d say the weakest link are the seams which need some extra reinforcement
First attempt: you cover your 3D part....
Second attempt: your 3D part is the mold...
It's a little bit tricky to make a female mold for few complicated parts, not for wing...
3 or 4 layers of fiber glass are always better/stronger/lighter:more durable than a PLA/PETG core cover of fiberglass....

인생을 즐겁게 사시는 모습이 너무 멋있습니다. 화이팅!
감사합니다 ☺️
Nice.
Tryna let me come over and scan my car or what? 🤪
Come on over! The Team Ptero discount still applies 😜
you said horse power academy lol when its suppose to be high performance academy
lol I know 🫣
Best comment for everyone to remember. I'm better than i was yesterday..
One day at a time 🙂
też chciałem tak zrobić tylko auta nie mam i kasy
"Dust off the Beat"
*shows clip of a dusted Beat*
😅
Заднее антикрыло ты от NSX приколхозил? 🤣🤣🤣
but only if it is a kei car
K swap it 1 day please😫
Im sorry, but I think your t-spline method is really limiting you in actually getting the shapes you want. Once everything is out in the sun you can really see the inorganic warp caused by your drafting method.
Don’t disagree with you!
send me your 3d scanner!
Come by and scoop it up 😜
@ wish i could😂 these damn scanners are too expensive but they make automotive design and cad so much easier
Great job it looks great
Thanks!
Good job Chinese guy
Way to be wrong and racist, goober.
Wow soooooo wide…..lol
Wider than it was before 🤷
