    Expanding PU foam is both fabulous and evil stuff to work with from a part stability point of view - ~32m30s, talking about low spots. My friend and I made a 'winterised RV' from a panel van (Peugeot Boxer) and we filled the cavity voids to the bodywork with expanding foam. Where we trapped the foam and did not have many expansion/venting holes on the inside, the foam actually *deformed the exterior metal panels of the van* as it dried. We can only assume this was due to it solidifying at different rates inside the cavity - and thus the volume in the middle, wtill with 'expansion to go' simply had nowhere to go, and blistered the panel out. As the foam can take many days to fully cure, it's wise to take your time - even though it appears to cure really fast, it does continue to cure for quite a long time. I love your work, it's great to watch and learn from. Keep going!

    Expanding foam is exothermic, so with PLA printing at 215-225C, it may be introducing heat and causing warping. This also holds true for sanding, the friction of the sanding could be enough to soften the PLA.

  • @TofuAutoWorks

    @TofuAutoWorks

    Ай бұрын

    I watched it while the foam was curing and the heat didn't seem to have any effect on it, similarly, when sanding you need to keep the sander moving to avoid it heating up. I think the warping (shrinking in this case) was due to the contraction of the foam itself. I almost would have been better off without it.

    I have an assortment of my own soft sanders that I've made for specific jobs over the years. I personally prefer the harder ones since the soft ones aren't that great for making nice curves, I find they mostly tend to just conform with any imperfections and leave the finished surface still pretty wavy.

    I've seen a couple guys now making custom dimple dies for logos and gussets so I think depending on how intricate the fender shape is it might be possible. Would probably be a lot of filament at nearly 100% infill and there would still be the issue of most 3D prints being a little fragile but still a pretty cool idea.
