3D print your own DRS linkage at home and get a feel for how it all works - link is in my bio!

If you're curious about the actual "final" design and how that's going, check out my long format videos on YT as I'll have the latest update there soon with a whole bunch more information about the progress of the design and what the plans are to tackle the last few hurdles.

I'm actually super keen to get V2 machined and underway and I've got a couple of other little bits and pieces to try while I'm at it.

If you've got any questions or comments, let me know, always happy to chat and to be told how your mother's, brothers, uncles cousin made a better one than me ✌️

"2026* is gonna be MY year".
"New year new me".
"I'm done with fake people in 2026 👋"

Ok Becky, you're still gonna be a fake B and I'm still gonna have 8 cars that don't run. Let's not kid ourselves.

See you here same time next year 🤝

I can only fit so much into a short form video. While the concept is relatively simple there's a fair bit of work that has already gone into the design up until this point plus there's still a lot more to go.

If you're interested to know more about the design process, let me know in the comments, and check out mine and @itsmikelake long format videos.
I'm honestly hesitant to make it into a long-form video because they take forever, but if the interest is there I'll doooo it.

The linkage you see in the video is just receiving some final tweaks and will be live on my website tonight if you want to download and play around with it yourself.
Let me know if you do I'm keen to hear about it!

A little while ago @itsmikelake reached out about

A little while ago @itsmikelake reached out about this idea he had to 3D print a Porsche GT3RS body for his boxter. We had a chat about a few things and one of those was he asked if I thought we could make the DRS element move...

To which I said "I don't see why not?".

Mike already had a scan of "most" of the wing blade and the uprights, but no linkages or pickups, basically anything relating to the mechanism. So I reverse engineered as much as I could, making a lot of assumptions and what you see in the video is the first time any of it was printed and assembled.
Literally worked on the first go!

Some points:
- No, those linear actuators are not going to remain like that. This is a prototype.

- "What instead then?" I'm working on a couple of ideas.

- "Where can we see more?" Check out our YT accounts 🙂

- "Can I buy this?"... I'm working on it 😉

Lemme know what you think! ✌️

The other day I showed you how I went about design

The other day I showed you how I went about designing this actuator atm for a vintage Rolls Royce, so I thought I might follow up with the install video.
I had a question regarding the purpose of a fillet on a design like this so hopefully that gives a little clarity to the purpose.

While it won't do much while in use, it will help for a future scenario where someone might push or pull on it to remove it. Perhaps in another 50+ years.

I can't wait for all the comments telling me how wrong I got this and that 3D prints won't last. Maybe I should make that a mini-series ✌️

I often get comments that are words to the effect

I often get comments that are words to the effect of "I wish I could..."
You absolutely can.
Don't be discouraged by thinking you might do a bad job, or make a mistake.
I make mistakes constantly.
Every day.

All the time.

Sometimes I might remake something 5+ times or be on version 0.9999
It doesn't matter, if someone's got something critical to say about what you're doing it's most likely because they wish they could be doing it themselves.

I've never had anyone doing better than me, go out of their way to try and bring me down. If you think about it I'd bet you're probably the same.

Here's a little snippet of a few ways that you might consider making some of your first (or 100th+) custom parts. From a scrap piece of paper, to a CAD design, 3D print to laser or water jet cutting, and possibly even to CNC machining.

You can make things as simple or as complex as you'd like.

Get out there and start making some mistakes.
