Really proud of this upper mount. Looks great imho and adds just enough shape and detail that it sets apart. This mount has taken me like 20 versions and attempts, no exaggeration...it only looks too thin at the mounting surface because it rests in a slight recess, its 5mm thick, 6mm thick where...

Thanks man! More to come I’ve just been really busy with work but I’ve been working on this in the background. Decided not to print anything because Ive had to make improvements here n there but it’s like 85% there design wise. Hoping to have a final printed prototype soon

Life's been a bit busy lately so I havent been doing much to push forward in the on the design but I have been looking into manufacturing more just to get an idea of what that might look like. Ive also been trying to get OpenFOAM to work to check the wings in CFD. Not successful yet but im...

In possession… ill be scanning soon As it stands now, my trunk mounts might not cover the last hole near the bottom of the trunk. Would this be a big deal if it were to be just plugged or would you guys want the mount modified and extended to use the hole? Its no big deal to modify, just...

More visuals, no real update. I should have the trunk and ill be making a scan of that. I dont know if anyone is interested in seeing parts of that process but ill document some of it. With the trunk mount holes already in place, it really take a lot guess work out of the process which im...

in order to test fit and work off a better scan… i decided to purchase a trunk lol From the looks of it, it already had a verus wing on it before the owner crashed it. Wing not included unfortunately, but i got a sick deal on it because they considered the drill holes as damage, which...

the original concept was to have the deck printed and bonded with internal rod supports. After the t-nut is inserted on top, it can be filled, primed and painted for a smooth finish. I haven’t gotten around to it yet because right now my primary concern is fitment… but ill be redesigning the...

Thanks man, its comments like that which make me want to push harder for this. Im currently looking to buy a used trunk to test fit and im making small tweaks here n there, hardly noticeable things but they make sense design-wise. Theres a lot of things right now that i have to do on my own...

Had a few print failures and basically needed to start the printing process from scratch. The first print came out nice but it was heavy af… im reducing the walls to 4 as well as the infill to provide internal structure… with a 0.8mm nozzle and 0.9mm line width, thats roughly 3.6-4mm wall...

While the full FT-1 concept wing is printing, I decided to make a shorty version. Everything fits the same, except of course the shorter riser/ uprights The deck is different.... shorter chord with a slightly elongated middle section (this would fit the full size spoiler setup as well) It is...

After that first print, I immediately noticed some things I could change so i did. The overall thickness of the deck made the channels for the cf rods to be placed awkwardly. in order to give them more space for better positioning, I scaled the height of the deck by 12% and the span by 3.5%. In...

So its not a 1 man show at all. Might need to collaborate with local shops, realistically if I want to get this done

Thank you! Currently sits 320mm from the top middle of the wing to the top middle of the trunk. Its shorter than APR's gtc wing by 10-35mm respectively. If i go shorter, rear visibility gets worse and the air stream isn't as good. Hard to say exactly how high the FT-1 wing is but it looks like...

You kind of hit the nail on head with a modular set up. I wanted to make a set of bolt holes and use those for future projects, making swapping and customizing easier for people. I love the passion but im not trying to throw any shade at the verus boys, they're doing a great job lol Once i can...

To answer your first part: i did reach out to Verus and i got a less than favourable reply at first. We’ll see if talks continue, haven’t heard back since the last thread but that was a Friday evening so fair enough. There was apprehension when i suggested using the same mounting location and...

Not going to spam you guys every time something comes out the printer but this is the first piece. Overall it came out great though i may use a different support going forward as it was more difficult to remove than expected. The bolt sleeve and cf rod channel tolerance was a bit tight for my...

Thats not a bad idea the only thing is that i would need one their wings and mounts to get the bolt holes to line up. Its actually kind of harder to retro fit to an existing product than to create it yourself, in terms alignment anyway. Im not opposed to the interchangeability and I dont see...

Decided to make larger, contour fitted endplates for that want more performance than aesthetics. I personally like the look of the V1 endplates, but sealing off and channeling the air on the underside will produce better results. Cool thing about this style of design is that its very modular...

the real thing wont be printed… just the deck maybe… but even that i might look into cf manufacturing … well how it turns out. Im just want to see in real world size and test fit on an actual car to see how it sits on the trunk. Getting the cleanest, crispest print isn’t the priority, i just...

Both side are done. cf tubes are in just waiting on 3m adhesive. In the mean time ill start the the main deck manufacturing
