"Armitage"... the Digibeam build area

[Digibeam]

In other news,

still packing the shop up and getting ready to move, by this time next month I will have a new selection of images and progress on this build and several other projects i am also working on.
the collection of build photos over the past 3 years have increased to a significant size, thinning them down to relevant areas is going to be interesting.
if people are interested in specific parts of the build then i could start with those and save the bother of picking and choosing, if no one is interested then i guess i will have some extra time on my hands...

Interesting facts....

Glad i am not anyone's "Dude"....  just saying...

Looking good Digi and String!!! You fellas make a pretty swell team! How do you plan on making your buttons? I was wondering if they couldn't be turned out of a clear acrylic then painted! I'm sure you guys have probably come up with a better solution though! Keep up the good work!!!

Even though we got shown the way home by the Canadians in the curling  ..... here are a few shots of the desired results. Looking good so far.
(Although if we are the best of the rest - what does that really say......)

last night the printer was hard at work while our Canadian Hockey team was cleaning up...

this is the 5 button lamp control for the left side of the drivers dash.
the buttons are rough and not final by any means but show the purpose.
the trim ring assembly is an OEM part from Lamborghini.
all parts that were printed came from an initial file made by String and with a tiny little bit of massaging they have been made to work.
the rear area of the bezel protrudes a little more than required so i did remove an amount.
i will see about cleaning this up and possibly mould and make a carbon fiber version to again show the capabilities of a 3D printer
enjoy.

Moving along, 
String has been working non-stop producing high end images of the parts for me to convert and print.
this is another example of the buttons for the lower end of the console panel with the 4 way button and the gas/mirror buttons.
the console panel is CF and is one of my fabrications, it has not received its final coat in case i scratch it during fitting processes.
eventually this completed unit will go to our "all round" nice guy Dustin, (usmc_butler)
  *note:
the buttons will be cleaned up and recast  as well, the buttons requiring LEDs will have them inserted during the fabrication process.
these images are just showcasing the progress of 3d printing and its benefits.

Guys.. leave this build diary about the build.

Please.. no more posts here about constitutional rights or user feedback.

I've taken this off line with Jay and I'll work any issues he has with me and the way I operate this site.

Thank you,

Chris

Here is a sample of a new composite panel i have created from an OEM part.
the idea behind this is to try to make these panels cost effective incorporating 3D printed parts* that have been cast    (*designed by our good friend String)
and either Laminated with Carbon Fiber or covered in leather.

Nice looking parts.

How is this one in comparison to the OEM version?

[Purple LP670 SV]

Soooooo, you say you have molds for an OEM engine cover? How much are you asking for the OEM rendition? And do they include the intakes? 

[Digibeam]

Okay so cleaning up and thinning out i came across these now orphaned parts, a few years ago i bought them of a fellow who got ripped off so bad i wanted to help him somehow so i bought these from him...
i have since created OEM replicas of the upper engine and no longer want these to occupy space...

so i am in Canada on the west coast...  make me and offer and cover the shipping ...

not sure if this should be in the things for sale part or not...but i dont have a price and i did purchase them so i will "Sell them" unless someone wants to trade?
either way

Does anyone have the wiring schematics for an LP640?
including the connector pinouts...  just curious,  i need to start thinking about wire looms and programing computers to work with OEM parts, but it would be nice to have electrical schematics to bounce off 

[Digibeam]

Thanks for the input,
CF does work on these parts but i have yet to see a CF handle on its own, most all i have ever seen have been painted the car color.
if i were to make these i would more than likely mould them and then make a part infused with CF,composite and epoxy along with embedded bushings or support etc.
CF, although strong in its own right is only that way if the part has been designed to utilise CF as the sole support material and has the added design elements that make it useful.
otherwise it can be just a visual experience in which case a laminate is suitable.
it may just happen, even if it is just a visual part.

Great idea No Bull! If he could 3D print these slightly smaller, then coat them in a layer of CF that would be plenty rigid! Should work for many other parts as well!
