3d printing exhaust system

[Bluetickduke]

I'm a 14 year machinist (cnc multi axi mills and lathes) and I have complete reign to do whatever I would like during my shift as long as my current production parts are running (always are)

My boss has taken interest in my cars as of lately
(I brought In my savage 5.9 one morning to take advantage of our high psi compressed air and other things)

He has 4 very high dollar and quality 3d printers with many many different kinds of plastic. As well as carbon fiber and others.

He's currently printing me some wheels and a prototype cooling head for my tmaxx. I was wanting to try out a 3d printed exhaust system for my losi 2.0t that is on the way today.

The plastic we have will definitely handle the heat ? but I need close dimensions as far as the pipe goes. He can hold a 003-.005 tolerance all day long. How would I go about getting these?

Anyone have one and is handy with a set of calipers by chance? ??

Perhaps I can help. Just got into machining myself.
Whats a caliper??? just kidding. I suck at it and will only be a hindrance. Sounds cool though.

I'd be more then glad to help, but I don't have a 5ive....?

It's the thought that counts! Honestly I would take any 1/5 scale aftermarket pipe dimensions. I realize it's not going to be as accurate as a high quality professional one but I want it none the less lol

What dimensions do you want? I also don't have a five.

LOL....I thought everyone here had a five!.....

If a hobby shop was open or a friend had one I'd help.

 

[Bluetickduke]

Mainly about everyone one inch I would like an od measurement. It don't have to be extremely accurate and I realize that it changes as you move around /across the surface

 

[Bluetickduke]

I didn't ask for you opinion. Don't you have a woman to beat with a stick back into the kitchen?
Nice English. I believe my 10 year old uses the same kinda wording

Interesting idea ? I aswell don't own a 5t ???‍ so I'm not help. Wonder how it would hold up to, not only the heat, but the abuse (like jumping and such)

 

[Bluetickduke]

Oh I'm sure it wouldn't work super awesome. I don't really plan on jumping too much. This is more so for my own personal ego and not performance purposes ??

This thread took a dark turn. Gotta love the old interweb, a place of unlimited rage and butthurt people. Im sure plastic can work. Ive seen lexan support a full size payloader and not even scratch. Stood the whole machine up on it while crushing down the dumpster. If it can handle that, 1/5 should be no problem.

 

[Bluetickduke]

Ahh there's always one asshat in the class.

I'm fairly confident it will hold up too. Especially since I do not plan on doing anything too hard core for awhile

Metal header or 100% plastic? Metal header might be a good idea.?‍

 

[Bluetickduke]

It will be made out of heat resistant grade abs or polycarbonate.
Header I am making out of solid 7075 aircraft grade aluminum on my 4th axis horizontal mill

 

[21bangbang]

Cool, can't wait to see it.

Well this should be interesting .

I’m subbed. I have high expectations. But I’m usually disappointed. I’m curious to see if this goes anywhere other than talk. Talk is cheap.

What is this sorcery? Are you some kind of wizard?

I don't know a damn thing about 3D printing. Please enlighten me. Do you have an actual product name for this high temp plastic?
