How long does it take to do things this big ?

I need to join this thing, I need to print the bottom still. Took about 30hours to print

I'm using a cheap ass anet A8 that I have modified. It's getting a metal frame soon.    Yeah, I'm going to sell it after I get a perfect fit and what not

Still rather impressive for what it's worth. How much are the refills and how's the program for it?  Kind of off subject so I apologize ahead.

It takes almost 2 roles of filament for a total of $50,  I made it using Autodesk Fusion 360 since I was having trouble with Autodesk inventor

I'm now able to print the intake into 2 pieces taking 10 hours each instead of 25h

I have it on my car and yes it will be easier, I might as well finish it up. But I'm lazy as f**k. The I ly thing I have accomplished is making the printer better

2013 PP SHO LMS 93V10 tune, 170* T stat, 3bar, K&N drop in, plugs re-gapped, 4in exhaust tips.
UPDATE - 130K miles =blown engine. Unleashed tune and EBPP upgrade turbo billet wheels / Turbo Smart WGA's on a bran new long block. Let's get this SHO on the road !

2013 Fusion Titanium 2.0 EB daily driver ;) - LMS 93 tune and CPE intercooler

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Sure, just and $1million so I can take my car apart and take measurements and but a printer capable of Printing it  and take measurements. I will just buy you a new one though lol

So I'm going to have to redesign the intake just a little bit due the printing process being not as clean. So I'm going to make the front where the inlets go removable using bolts( and silicone or some sort of sealant)

And suggestions on how to join both halves? I'm thinking of just bolting them together also

Also, I'm going to see if I can make something that changes the tone of the BOVs.

Yeah I'm going to completely redesign it so I can get very minimal failure points. Just can't seem to think of an idea on how to join the base together with bolts that don't go in or penetrate the inside
