Between this and Howard's experience, I think you are going to be seeing Lawyers in the future.

@ClayPerrine - I appreciate your concern but in that video, note that "Ferrari backed off". And have you seen the Alferrari build (Home Built by Jeff on Youtube) or the F40 build being done by StanceWorks? Or the rotary swapped 456 GT?
No telling how any future may unfold but at this point I believe they have way bigger fish to fry.

Version 1 scan of the battery box is complete. Those dots are markers that help the scanner measure the object. In all, it's not too hard to figure it out, especially considering how powerful the capabilities are, and Creality has done a good job of delivering a pretty user friendly hardware and software package.
Certainly a newbie but I'm making good progress up the learning curve.

That’s neat. How big of a part can you print and of what materials?

@Shivers - The printing envelope is essentially a 12" cube. It prints most every available filament which means stuff like TPU (think rubber for things like grommets) to carbon fiber reinforced nylon (structural stuff)and all sorts of other stuff like ABS.

It's absolutely crazy what's available to us amateur builders.

Major milestone (even if it's not much to look out):
The engine is back from Partick Ottis and fully serviced, including new cam belts, tensioners, pulleys and cam seals. Cam timing set, too. Patrick noticed some minor oxidation on the cam drive gears and he says, "I'm going to pull those off and bead blast them..." They now look new. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

And while I'm fairly sure I could have done all the service work, the peace of mind I get knowing "the experts" have given it a clean bill of health is well worth it. Interestingly, he mentioned everyone in the shop loved that it was going into a 914!

Anyway, now it's on me to wrap up the wiring and fuel system and it should be set to start.

Oh boy, I'm really gettin' down to it...

I am surprised the engine has timing belts, would have thought chains. I must not have paid attention previously. It is art mosdef.

Oh boy looks like we are getting close to seeing this fire up!

As for the scanner, from what little I’ve seen it is incredible the detail it can capture.

So cool. Sure beats files, a drill press and a block of aluminum.

The 3D scanner is here and being put to use. I have just started scratching the surface of learning this stuff but it's quite accessible and I feel good about how these new tools are going to work out.

Boy oh boy. I got a chance to see the Ferrari swap in person yesterday and I can not wait to see it all together and running. The engine, just back from a complete service is surprisingly small and looks amazing. But the engine bay is just beautiful and it is not even painted yet. That is going to be a show-winner for sure. Great work Chris. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Learning new skills is great but it certainly slows down build progress. That said, it really opens up some cool possibilities.
Here's my first go at scanning the (hell hole) area I need to understand so I can fab a battery tray and support. Yes, I could do it manually but again, future me needs to be proficient with this tech in order to make all the cool components I have in mind.

Just playing with some initial ideas but you can see where this is going.
