apparently also used to create patterns/designs on glasses (mate is an optometrist, told me about this) - cheaper than actually MAKING glasses in that design/pattern.

would love to use something like this to refurbish my interior! not widely available in AUS as far as i know

Yeah, apparently they are located in Spain or at least their instructional facility is. Here I am thinking automotive when you're speaking of frames for glasses! That's what I'm so fascinated about. The possibilities!

A mate of mine is actually in the process of decking out a small warehouse on the Northern Beaches with some 3m x 2m fluid tanks and stuff to get this kicked off.

He didn't bother buying the $20k stuff from Spain, just designed it himself, and took it to a welder/boilermaker and got them to knock up a stainless tub with heat exchangers, etc.

Can't wait to see what he does with it. He's just ordered the machine you can load graphics into and will print it onto the sheets that the patterns come from. Pretty expensive start up costs though!

Just to give you an idea, he is about to sign a deal to get some ceiling fans, LED lightframes and some other small homeware stuff custom made for an architect.

But yeah, Sports equipment, car parts, instruments, shoes, pc cases, sunnies, etc etc.

please give us more details when he's got it up and running, and approx costs if possible? this would be VERY useful for people wanting to redo their centre consoles, dashes, all interior trimmings!

No probs mate, will do.

I know his stainless tanks are being made up at the moment, along with a small spray booth for applying clear coats on after, but the printer will be at least a month or so off. Pretty sure he has like 100L of the activator en route at the moment. I know he has started getting the standard patterns already (CF, Alloy, Woodgrain, etc)

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
