Quick announcement *feel free to skip the announcement in the video* I'm going to be taking a break from uploading for the next couple months as I focus on completing this second side. It's going to be a lot of bodyfiller and sanding which I know is everyone's favorite part of my videos, but it does get a little repetitive. I'll still be filming the whole process and will carry on from here when the next video goes up, but hopefully I can cut back on the time I spend editing and get this side done in under 6 episodes. For all my Patreon supporters I will still be posting regular updates as well as these videos as soon as they are done. I will also be announcing a Patreon exclusive build very soon that I wont be sharing on KZread or Instagram. www.patreon.com/TofuAutoWorks

Hey man do what you need to do with uploads we will be here when you are ready. the car is going epic . As for the 3d print each section on the rear seems to be a fair bit bigger i personally would add a grid to the back of the peices,only shallow just to reinforce the shape. The problem youre having is the plastic shrinks as it cools and youre essentialy printing like a vase mode.

Your content is great - a welcome start to a weekend morning. Personally I'd very much rather that you continue to enjoy making great looking modifications to cars than stress over meeting editing / upload deadlines. It's a balance - and from what you've said it's too heavy on the edit/upload side, so addressing it in the manner you've stated sounds like a good plan.

Take as much time as you need brother, we'll be here for the final product.

Hear hear!! Quality over quantity every time. This is such a cool build it would be a shame to end up with something less than 100% satisfying.

I totally agree with you. Sometimes, things get rough for everyone.... take as much time as you need. The level of craftsmanship is unbelievable. Your knowledge is truly mindblowing. (Although I can't wait for the next episode 😊)

Don't get burnt out chasing deadlines. That kills the passion for the projects, and most of us here just want to share in that. Happy holidays ❤

Awesome stuff! A special shout out to you and Stan! Really like the way you’re confident in showing some of your “learning curve” moments during the process. The hard work involved in getting the fitment right can be exhaustive, but is the differentiation between good kits and bad ones along with the knock offs. Keep up the great work!

Stan has been an absolute legend and couldn't even imagine how much time this would have taken without him. Hopefully all of these teething issues are just a one time thing and once we figure out how to make 3D printing an effective part of the process it will massively speed up my future builds and maybe even remove the need for the initial hand shaping with foam entirely.

Hey you do you man. The contents always amazing. Make it amazing, not rushed. Loves always there!

Dude, you have my total respect, take a break as long as you need, you are the best, and you are the reason i want to try working on fiber glass and body work for my next thesis. Love and respect from italy❤

To be honest, one of the most impressive parts of your builds is fitting in the video footage…I have my own KZread build channel and I don’t show a lot of my work in progress (hence the low subscription rates lol) simply because it constantly interferes with the build to much…and as for “deadlines”…SCREW THAT…when I’ve got something to show then I’ll make a video but I ain’t rushing a job for a deadline (hence my low subscription rate lol lol 😝)…anyway I’m happy to see your stuff when YOU ARE READY…love your work and don’t stress about us, we ain’t going anywhere 😉…cheers 🍻

Thanks bro. Yeah it's pretty clear why KZread is more full of the standard vlog style builds with periodic updates. Filming every step of the process I'd say more than doubles how long everything takes and doing it with no narration as well means you have to be super deliberate with the flow of the video. So many times I have to stop myself from just going out and working on it because I want to do some random little thing out of sequence but it would just make the videos really confusing and all over the place. But it definitely has it's advantages too and being able to share this work with so many people is it's own reward.

Bro, just take your time and do your thing - your work is amazing. We all rather see quality content, not rushed. Do what you love and have fun doing it, we'll all benefit from this. Merry Christmas from Poland

As someone who has been into 3d printing for over 7 years now I really appreciate the amount that has been done in this video. People who don't know about 3d scanning, 3d modelling and 3d printing might think that there wasn't that much progress in this video. But those who know about it know how much effort and time went into this. Awesome video as always, keep up the good work and take your time man! Sad to see you leave yt for a while, but very understandable. I'll be looking forward to your next video as always, even if I have to wait for a long time! Greetings from Belgium!

I’m from Moscow Russia. Watching you’r video’s for over 2,5 year, first time commenting))) not many people are so good in what they do in any country, you’r the professional custom car modifier))) Looking at your work makes me feel proud for what you can do) You do amazing things, you make magic))) take as many time as you need, we all well watch you’r content, cause it’s like a work af god, while He was creating the Earth))) you’r the best👍🏻

Glad to see that at least the majority of the comments are supportive of your break, which they absolutely should be. Anybody who has undertaken a project of this magnitude knows how incredibly demanding it can be, and filming/editing/uploading the entire thing WHILE it's being done is exponentially more time-consuming and difficult. I'm just a hobbyist mechanic but a filmmaker by trade... I do this shit for a living. It's routine in the commercial world to shoot for 12-14+ hours and end up what amounts to ~30 seconds of content in the final edit (and that's with a crew of professionals). Anybody who thinks YT builds of this caliber "take too long" should try to produce one single episode of them doing _anything_ to their cars.

This was amazing! Take all the time you need.

As a viewer I am grateful to have your content no matter how long I have to wait for it, I understand the amount of effort it takes to do both things properly, you are doing a great job!

Every week I wait for your new episode and I'm sorry it was so short. looking forward to seeing the next one. Thank you very much for your wonderful, scrupulous work.

Very cool use of 3D printing! Just a tip, for textured PEI beds, you don’t need glue stick. Try turning your bed temps up by 5-10c. If that doesn’t remove the need for glue stick, it suggests your first layer Z height is too far away from the bed. It should be just close enough that all the print lines are invisible and you just have a nice textured surface on the part. That said, for large parts that you are joining together, grab a smooth PEI bed plate. They are much better for functional parts and stick even better. I can even print ASA and ABS on my open frame printer on smooth PEI. The bed temps need to be 110c tho.

@TofuAutoWorks

4 ай бұрын

We tried just about everything to eliminate warping including these suggestions and more, the glue on the print bed definitely helped especially with these larger prints, but the main issue comes down to part geometry and the shape wanting to bow inwards as it cools which deforms the whole print. We've troubleshot it and already figured out a few ways to minimize the problems.

@@TofuAutoWorks good stuff. I highly recommend the smooth PEI magnetic sheet. I keep both types on hand and smooth is definitely best for huge parts.

Take your time as you need to stay sane. Cannot thank you enough for you sharing your projects and incredible work tenacity. As I’ve mentioned before, I have experience in plug and mold making do understand how much is removed in edits. Look forward to the next episodes when they are ready. Happy new year from the US.

Mad respect for your determination to create the perfect build. Keep it up!

Take as long as you need, this channel has done so well because it is such quality content, and if you get burnt out that's no good for anyone. Loving the videos, keen for the next whenever it's/you're ready!

So awesome you and Stan were able to mirror the mesh scans and print from them. Trying to re-engineer them and turn the mesh into a smooth parametric model would have been very time consuming. The prints turned out amazing! Love seeing other people's easy solutions for something I would have made difficult!! 😄 3d printing is very time consuming, unless you have multiple printers. Even two speeds things up incredibly. I print using an enclosed heated chamber with ABS. Do not get any warping. My printers (Intamsys Funmat HT's) have 10x10x10 inch build spaces with .4mm nozzles and one panel piece could take 3 days with my print settings. So getting a day for those prints is awesome! And they all look very nice. If you did want to go the enclosed printer route probably the best enclosed printer for the money right now is a Bambu Lab X1 Carbon but I am just going off of specs and reviews I have seen online. I never use PLA anymore after an air intake I had done years ago turned into a floppy noodle from the heat of the engine bay within 1 hour of driving. The 4 other ABS versions I have made all have been fine. For my body panel parts I designed them to insert together with a sleeve and just glued them together with JB Weld, then sanded and painted them. I would not recommend this as the pieces expand and contract in the sun and even though the seams were gone initially they showed up a few months later in some areas. Next time I might try some 3m panel bonder and a thin fiberglass skin...or maybe an epoxy coating. I have done the epoxy coating on a couple other non-seamed prints and they have held up well. I am assuming though you are using the prints to then make a mold of to ultimately make fiberglass panels. Then just trashing the prints

@TofuAutoWorks

4 ай бұрын

We're using a 1.0mm nozzle with a print volume of 420 x 420 x 500mm so it's one of the larger printers you can get in this price range. The enclosed printers didn't really seem necessary because when I'm printing I'll usually just put a heater next to the printer and the entire area sits at a pretty stable temperature. And yes PLA on all of these because they are only for plugs and will be scrapped once the moulds are made the same as the expanding foam. I wouldn't use PLA on a functional print unless I was intending on fully encasing it in reinforcement like carbon fiber or fiberglass in which case it would just be acting similar to a honeycomb core.

Take some rest once in awhile, you are doing the good work with this project, definetly can't wait to see this in final product. 👍

Good call on printing with flanges, when I was printing the plug for my race car sidepods I did the sections in vase mode to avoid supports and get a smoother print but ended up spending way longer printing an internal support frame and shooting it full of expanding foam for support. The other big mistake I made was filling then sanding outside in the sun...PLA warps fast in the sun!

Keep up the good work! I love the play on the old movie piracy warning lol

I've always wondered how you manage to do so much work AND record it, as that takes way more time than people realise, then edit it all and write out all the captions, in the short space of time between videos that you have... so your decision makes sense.

I would always choose quality of videos over quantity. Sharing your vision of the next steps in the plan can also make it easier to wait. Can you add more ribs/flanges/webs to the inside of the curved pieces to restrict the cooling warping?

Pretty sure we're all subbed with 🔔's on here! Your content is 🔥 Don't feel pressured to rush bro. Whenever you're ready to upload, we're all here to watch.

Enjoy the break man. Anyone who has tried keeping up on social media and video editing when trying to build single handedly will know exactly what you mean. It can life consuming. I'm sure we all look forward to new video drops in the new year at some point. Have a great Christmas and New Year buddy. Enjoy some time to yourself.

Chris, No worries on the uploads brother. We will see them when they are ready to be seen. Aside from that, I'm thinking your growth may have you on the brink of needing someone else to help with editing so you can focus more on the doing aspect. However, my assumption is you are in the middle zone where you cant quite afford to pay someone to edit but also dont ha e the time to edit and maintain the same quality youve become known for. Its a really rough situation I am sure. You may have some followers who would be more than willing to donate some time and skill to do some of the editing for you. I suggest giving anyone interested some raw footage and see how they put it together and what the turn around time is. If no one stands out then oh well, but if you find yourself another option to continue growth at an increased rate of productivity then it may lead to a compensated editing position which will free up tons of your time. My friend and his wife both have channels and she had him start helping her with the editing and he is now full time just doing youtube along with her. Bith their channels are growing and hers being the bigger channel is the main focus but his videos still get done as well. You may find yourself a situation like this if you are willing to try it out. If I had the skill to edit I would volunteer my time to you at no charge but Im better at working with my hands than I am with a keyboard. Regardless, keep kicking all the ass on the planet!!

Enjoy your break man!

It's okay, man. Take all the time you need. We are waiting for you here for upcoming news or car updates. Greetings and I hope everything is well 😉♥️

I think when it's done a lot of people are not going to realize how much easier this project would have been for you if you just slapped the front end on with self tappers and made the whole thing look "internet good." Most youtubers will choose to do just good enough that the project looks good on a camera from 10 feet away (because that's their job,) and most people don't realize how much more work it is to get from that stage to a real, finished car that looks good up-close and in-person. I commend the effort man, it will pay off.
