We started our tray with 4 peices of identical timber templates. Using these to then cut a 1cm border around the Aluminium we created two trays that were almost perfectly identical (we got them confused many times). Removing the aluminium from the mould. Like two aluminium peas in workshop.
Ferrari 250 GTO Hood and Bumper Assignment 1: The Hood Dividing the Buck After processing the STL file in Slicer for Fusion360 we carefully assembled our buck in order to ensure accuracy and precision. We held it together with small nails and tape. We also created a wooden base in order to achieve the curves on the underside of the some of the parts (front and rear fenders). We masking tape to help us understand the curves and shapes of the car. This was also in an effort to split the car up in the best and most true to original way. This ended up not being sufficient so I 3D printed small models of the car with high detail to help understand the curves (see below). We used images of the car's manufacture in Italy and closeups of the unpainted body to split the car into 7 pieces. We split the car based on aesthetic qualities as well as where we believe the car would have split lines due to functionality. For example, the door, the hood and the windo...
Starting with the roller I then used the foot powered squeezer. This caused some cracking and splitting which was not ideal! It was very difficult to make an even spreading to cause the reverse curve. Moving onto the wooden mould the shape was made symmetrical and the curve enhanced. Using the metal curved dolly I pulled the side curves down to make it look neat and pretty. Here is a timelapse of me making the side curves. Finishing off the edge curve and making it even and symmetrical (and of course beautiful!).
Love it!!!!
