Custom Fab Parts? (3D Printer, CNC Mill, etc)

[MrBen]

Someone on here was offering to print parts a short while ago. I think 986 does a lot of cnc work. I used to have an old gf that was a cnc prototype designer. She could make about anything if you could explain what you needed. Wasn't much of a gf long gone

Sheesh :P

Well if someone’s done it then I can do it. Just gotta find out what parts to do. Do you think the intake plenum is a good one? Or what about the pipe that connects the air box to the throttle body? Could make a larger diameter one to house a larger throttle body and let more air in.

There’s gotta be plenty of parts that could be improved upon.

Member Ben (not MrBen) made quite remarkable work on the plenum add-ons already however he haven't touched the outer/larger air intake.

That's one of those thing that I trust can't/cannot be 3D printed and can only be achieved using injection molding processes, if the idea behind is to improve what has been engineered by Porsche. Reason for that is inner-wall surface roughness and how this influence air velocity (i.e. turbulent env and dyn pressures).

If you have means to validate the flow and manually polish the interior of that part then this could potentially be a nice add-on to Ben's plenum mod! Are you familiar with CFD modeling?
