- Loughla 3y agoOnce metal 3d printing is affordable in the home, I'm absolutely downloading a car.
- gosub100 3y agoCarbon fiber might even be possible before metal, for at least the structural frame. Probably wouldn't pass a single NHTSA test, but imagine how cool it would be if you could assemble your vehicle this way, with a CAD system doing the heavy math calculations, then go to a junk yard and get your suspension, axles, motors, etc. Plug the motor into an rPi that is your (whatever they call automotive computers, ECU?). Not sure how you'd do the interior or exterior, and the SRS would never work right. But you could theoretically get most of the way there, to a dune buggy.

- bigbillheck 3y agoI might.
