The white foaming stuff is the best.

I also like buying the Sunday paper just for this purpose.

 

havent been back to this thread for a while but im soooo happy with the progress. all involved should be very proud of this work!


cant wait till this is in my car

 

Was wanting this product at my first track day this year. Would be much easier to fill up than my current setup. Thanks for keeping the project moving along.

 

Made some more progress. 3D printer churning away:





Like a dummy, I printed it WITH the cap. No biggie, doesn't effect what we're trying to verify. Also, had to print it in two pieces (no surprise) because its so damn long.

THEN, I got to test fit it:




Fits like a glove. No issues with install/fitment. One bolt is a tight fit/PITA to get to... but a open-ended, ratcheting 10mm wrench makes quick work of it.

After this, there's only a couple things left on the check list then we're gonna greenlight production and start taking orders. I know it always seems like "one more thing" - but there's literally like three things left to do!

 

The gaudy rotor on the cap makes me sad in pants :P. You'll keep the stock thread pitch, yes? Looks awesome, it'll be nice once cintering machines can create parts that are structurally up to snuff.

 

It's a SakeBombGarage logo! Really, one of my favorites logo's around.

But yes, it'll work with OEM, no problemo.

 

So good, any idea what the final capacity will be with the sump?

 

**** yes

 

Glad to see this is coming along...

 

Great project !
Can't wait to see the final result.

Btw, anybody here knows the reference code for this OEM washer tank ?

 

Since mine holds 1.8, I'm guessing this one will be right around 2 gallons. Matt, can you confirm this?

 

https://www.carbon3d.com/

 

I still want to know if it can be pressurized for mechanical injection systems

 

Looking like just a tad over 2 gallons.

Nice guess!

PM inbound.

 

Definitely interested.
Also, subscribed (why don't notifications work?).

 

looking good, so when do we get dates for completion and a rough price :-)

 

We are finalizing our order with the manufacturer this week! Lots of e-mails, CAD drawings and confirmations back and forth making sure everything is just right.

We are setting up a web page to place preorders with additional info in the next week or so. Then we will start a new thread (this one will continue to be updated) with links, info and everything else you need.

Getting very close guys. Thanks for your patience and support!

 

sounds great !
Can't wait !

I was wondering about the possible issues with heat exposure etc. I know some 3D printed stuff just don't take heat well... ???

 

Shouldn't be a lot of heat in the back of the trunk, but I believe the final product will be molded, not 3D printed. Or at least I hope not... we'll all be driving flying cars by the time they 3D print 200 of them.

P

 

yeah the 3d printing is just for prototyping

 

Yeah. The 3D printed pieces are just to verify fitment is correct, test slosh in the real world, etc, etc. You can sneak by with 3D printing on some stuff (I think there's a guy making interior components and emblems) but any function piece requires more tried and true manufacturing methods. In our case, we are going to use a combination of injection and blow molding.

Correct. Just one half of this tank took two days to print. Much less "rapid" then the term "rapid prototyping" suggests.

Exactly.
