THIS is exactly the oddly specific stuff you can do with a 3D printer I want to see!!
It's so satisfying to meet passionate people, thank you for sharing. Well done 🙂
These are the two hobbies that combine perfectly!!!
The fact he did a lack mod instead of the actual cabinet is amazing use of whats around to printing in an enclosure
I've been 3D printing stuff for my classic cars for years now. Everything from radio fascias to the dashboard knobs and even the rubber bungs for the floor. Just could not do it without the Prusas - thank you Josef!
Clasic and mordern in one packed
Great video 🙂
Nice use of 3D printing. I hope you can keep those nice cars on the road for the forseable future.
I still need to model a strange gear for my 20 year old bike's windscreen that I cannot get a replacement for. One day I will do it but the part needs to be metal. But if a plastic prototype part can work just even for a few seconds as a proof of concept, a metal printed or otherwise manufactured version can be ordered as a 1 off product these days.
In case anyone else is wondering why on earth you would have a Curta in a rally car: classic road rally rules prohibit the use of electronic devices 😅
Thank you! I was excited at the sight of the Curta, but wondered why it was there and so prominent.
But the instrument cluster is electronic rather than mechanical?
@@NiHaoMike64This. I was thinking it has something about rules, but also was wondering about the digitals for co-driver??
Makes me miss my 122 estate
the shock mount for bonnet could be improved (in strength ) if you add fillets.
Great video! and you have convinced me to try asa filament.
Cool! Mk3's been making obsolete Gleaner combine and machinery parts for a year now in the midwest US

Wow, Thomas Shelby got a really nice hobby :D
A Mark3 and a pair of Ikea Lacks 8:22 . The Lack-table is like the bun around a hamburger, or the pencil that winds a cassette-spool.
I‘d really like to know in what kind of material these parts are printed. I recon PLA or even PETG would melt in a hot engine bay, no? Are these all out of ABS or ASA?
I use PETG for interior and general stuff around the car thats not heat affected, asa for medium duty and Prusa PCCF for demanding underbonnet stuff, its excellent for that.
5:11 "Made in Liechtenstein", now that's a first one.
Have Mk3s at home and work. Even though they're quite dated these days, they're really good printers. Almost always I plot the printers on and then after few hours get that "oh sh.." feeling as if things fail, it's almost always the first layer, wrong selection for sheet or something. But if everything is setup correctly it's like 95% success rate on Mk3s's.
i have a question about the prusameters. if you collect 10000 prusameters printer3d: prusa mini is free ?
