Hi Peri and All,
I could but I've already made a far stronger one and have the
tooling to make more if I get an order. It'll be quite a while before
3d printing can beat it in strength/weight ratio or speed of building
in $ we can afford. I think for a while 3D printing will be limited to
prototypes, mold forms, to make production tooling from and very high
value products .
It's not a fast process. Likely a car would take days depending on
how much is done.
Got another wood/epoxy one legally still the Ewoody but very aero,
nice I need for long distance transportation. I'm doing the skin on
now and finishing up the drivetrain. Just got the airspring shocks ,
steering tie rods so I can finish the suspension. Not easy on SSI
income but coming along.
Next I finally have the suspension, etc designs for the FreedomEV
production, just need good transport to get that together which will be
next. Once in running order hopefully with a used Leaf pack if I used
it all would be a 250 mile range EV should !! With that it shouldn't
be any problems getting more orders.
Watching the auto auctions hoping to get a totaled Leaf so bad no one
else wants it. though likely have to sell half the pack to afford it.
If not I'll just go lead and a range extender Like my new Ewoody until
some lithium modules fall my way.
