Watch-outs and design considerations for how to add heat set inserts into 3D Printed Parts.
3D Printing with NylonX Carbon Fiber Nylon
Posted on October 16 2024
Building the gauge cluster was my first time 3D Printing with NylonX Carbon Fiber Nylon Filament, and it turned into one of my favorite functional 3D Prints for the Datsun.

TRACK INSPIRED DESIGN
Between third party laser cutting, 3D Printing, and at-home CNC capabilities, there's never been a better time to learn and build projects that stand up to industry professionals. If you're just getting started, or want to know more about the tools and filmmaking equipment I use in the shop, I've compiled some helpful resources to get you going.
BUILT DIFFERENTLY
Owned by designer and mechanical engineer Dave Piccioli, Grindhouse Performance was built around doing things differently. From white-glove performance part installs on six figure cars, to sledge hammering quarter panels off competition cars, to 3D printing press dies able to withstand thousands of pounds of pressure shaping steel, Grindhouse Performance was founded around the idea of doing the best you can, for the love of fabrication, and for the love of cars.

Tri-Blend Vintage Style short sleeve t-shirt. Lightweight and ridiculously comfortable. Full size back graphic, small left chest front graphic. This was traced from a drone shot inside the shop. Wasn't sketchy at all.
Grindhouse Performance is a one-person operation. I do my best to get these out as soon as they come in, but at times it might be a few days.
3D PRINTED PRESS DIES
Modern meets metal.
3D Printed Tools for Metalworkers
Inspired by Mike O'Brien, Lead Engineer at Roadster Shop, I put these videos together designing and testing 3D Printed press dies to form aluminum, steel, and even stainless steel plates using my Ultimaker S3.
Similar to machined steel dimple dies, these 3D Printed press dies were able to stamp unique strengthening profiles into the metal. What's most IMPRESSIVE to me was being able to form both the circular dimples, the surrounding oval, as well as the beveled profile in a single operation. Typical manufacturing, you would expect this profile to be done in stages, and while the results aren't 100% perfect, it's an incredible starting point to learn from.
