Creating a new Airbox for the Firebird.

[TransAmDan]

Made some adjustments to the model. Printed out in the final stuff. It has some undesired banding on it. May be the trying process wasn't perfect. £8.60 of material.
It's usable as it is, I may run some small rest prints. It I can resolve it then and could reprint. It's perfectly functional, so I may leave it.

Why yellow??
Your cars going to end up like a harliquin lol.
So far purple. Body. Red ant roll bar. Yellow 3d printed parts think engine is blue.
Wasn't it vw that did the harliquin pole with every panel was a different color??

Sponge bob is yellow.
The hexagons in the purple t-top pieces are yellow, brake calipers are yellow.
The top of the engine is blue, but that will be black soon.
Couldn't do the pipe work in purple as the high temperature stuff isn't available in that colour. So yellow was the next best thing.

Pipe with the air temprature sensor and the MAF sensor is coming along well.

Mainly minor tweaks now to get things to line up to the nearest mm.

As /i have the 3D model of the engine bay its grat to refrence things. The software lest me do a 'slice' of the cat, so say a 10mm wide strip. I can move this 'slice' to check the airfilter to bonnet clearence for example. A cross section showing my to yellow pipe. The cone shaped airfiler sits inside the airbox. ven see the cross section of the radiator under the larger yellow pipe.

Made some more progress on the airbox last night. The item is 700mm wide. To get this to print I need to split it into 6 peices. Ofcourse with splitting you need a way to join it back together once printed. So I have split this in half horizontally, and there are bolt holes with room for a nut on the back to get this back together.

Next I need to split it into 3. Its getting there. Really happy with how it is coming along.
