I didn't like my bumper, so I made a new one.

Hi all! In this Illumaesthetic video, we cover the basic overview steps on what it takes to make your own custom bumper, utilizing 3D printing technology to speed up the prototyping process. This is just a general overview, so if you want to see specifics on any step, let us know!

Just wow! If this stuff was accessible to everyone, the car scene would get 10x more cooler and varied. Love the final result!

Really nice job, my best friend had 2 sti back in 2003 same colour, he loved that car, he sadly passed this year, he would have loved to see what you did here, amazing great work from both of you.

I would REALLY like to see very detailled info about the cutting you did in Cura and the 3D printing of bumpers or other large automotive interior and exterior parts.

[actontreadway]

maybe there's some way to remove these from the screen, but at 21:36 youtube puts up two video thumbnails that basically cover the car right at the point where you are showing what it looks like.

Very nice work. I just started playing with 3D printing on a very small scale with a Prusa MK3S+ desktop. This is such a a great technology and will keep older cars on the road. Not to mention the options for customization and imagination.

[DwayneLutchna]

Very cool! My only feedback is that for the final reveal, the part we've all been waiting for, it's obscured by the channel logo and large thumbnails for video recommendations. May want to rethink that bit.

Great video guys! Super informative, I love that you brought us along for the entire process. Definitely would love to see more content like this in the future!!

[onesheisty]

Great result. I appreciate the way you gave a brief on all the steps that went into it. New sub.

[ChrisKellyPrime]

Lol that 3D scanner is worth more than the whole car.

[ChristopherGaul]

This is awesome. This opens up a whole new world of car customization.
My only nitpick, that's not a bumper, that's a front fascia. 😉

[charliebowen]

Thanks for showing the process! I love how additive manufacturing keeps growing! That bumper looks amazing!!!

[ImmersiveGamer]

Came out perfect, so interesting to watch the whole process including cad revisions all the way to printing and molding

[SummitLife]

There is so much insane skill in this video! I love every step of this

[plinpain]

20 minutes of making it and 2 sec of showing the result....

[BeatLegato]

Amazing video. Love that it's all kept local in California to accomplish this.

Would love for this to be more accessible to the general market.

[fabiendass]

Did you have to make a fiberglass mold or could you use the abs plastic bumper that came out of the 3d printer as is?

[LowLifeAccord]

Bro this is exactly what i needed to see today. I need to speak with you directly about having this process done for me.

[jamesmcintoshjr]

Great breakdown, I was gonna do a process video for how I 3d print my parts but now I can just link people to this video :) Was thinking about upgrading to a modix for aero parts and this really helped show how well it can work for large parts.

[robotgeorge]

Amazing work! But please do something about your desk mic, the volume peaks and the clipping hurt

[jochem]

Ohh! This might become interesting for a future project! * Pulls out $30.000 Artec Eva scanner * never mind!
