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.

Not every design needs to be complex, sometimes they can be quick, little wins. Although this part would be unlikely to break again in operation, considering we're modelling it anyway it doesn't hurt to make a couple of improvements while we're there.

Modelling time from start to completed print is well under an hour and it's just another example of not only how far 3D printing has come but also just how handy and versatile it can be in your projects.

There's plenty of free CAD softwares out there that you can get started with - the biggest hurdle is just knowing how to measure and model a part. Hand drawing is universal - you should practice it 🙂

Lots more information on my YT and deep dives into how things work.

Lemme know what you think and if you'd like more of these ✌️

Flashback to one of the jobs that I've been puttin

Flashback to one of the jobs that I've been putting off for ever and ever on the Ke25 is rust repairs. The reason for that is because I don't want to start something and then not do the best job I possibly can - which would, in reality, mean weeks of constant work on the car. But in the spirit of this month of "get stuff done" I'm going to attempt to find a middle ground.

I'm going to fix all the worst spots that really need it and then just convert/prime other minor areas of concern and get it tidied up to get it actually driving again.
Then I'll be happy to have it off the road for a few weeks in the future while I do a better job in a few other areas.

Anyway, let me know what you think✌️
