KZJonny Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Fill us in on how those work out for you. What material will you print them from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deltaking Posted April 15 Author Share Posted April 15 For O-Rings I use TPU - Ultra Flex they have changed the name but let me find a link to some for reference. Here: https://www.esun3d.com/eflex-tpu-87a-product/ For hoses I use this: https://www.esun3d.com/etpu-95a-product/ And an alternative for the hoses is Nylon Carbon Fiber as well because it flexes nicely but easy to get a leak so design has a 1mm tolerance so that you can dip it in resin to close any potential cracks or vacuum leaks which will come your way if you use it without sealing it. (It takes a single blob in the middle of your layers or outer layers to end you) Any of these I do with a minimum of 4 print walls and 100% infill to make sure it seals. With O-Rings I increase the height by 1mm just to improve sealing but I still use gasket sealant just to be safe... Then again would do it with any O-Ring. My intercooler O-Rings have been on the car for 4 months with no wear, the plus factor that it is resistant to fuel and oil is extra plus. I replaced my intercooler with the 2009 LGT which doesn't have the clips so I cannot install my engine cover so I modelled a part that sits on the intercooler to hold it down (Yet to install, no car...)

Deltaking Posted April 15 Author Share Posted April 15 Could probably make a timing belt out of this too but who's got the B's for that. When I finally recover I may just get a motor to test a 3d printed timing belt and make it a generator and rev it. https://www.esun3d.com/etpu-95a-product/ I made a part for my buddy can't remember what its called but its a gear that sits on a mechanism thats placed in the gear box and picks up the RPM on a Nissan NP300. (Been running it for 8 months and no issues and thats Resin 3D printing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deltaking Posted April 15 Author Share Posted April 15 (edited) Sorry... When you go to the links check the Parameter info that's what's important before I decide on material. https://www.ema.gen.tr/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/TPU-EN-Guide-Tpu.pdf https://waterbladders.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Chemical-Resistant-Chart.pdf Edited April 15 by Deltaking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deltaking Posted yesterday at 02:47 PM Author Share Posted yesterday at 02:47 PM Next Project, since steering wheels cost a ridiculous amount... taking the Sti look which can overlap the existing steering wheel then probably warp it with some leather and your done... Draft design still need to include the inner joints to the steering wheel. Still thinking about overall risks as it should be glued on but at the same time you would want zero slip.
