This is the worlds only 3D Printed Lamborghini, Sterling Backus said, he had a budget of $20,000 US dollars, he achieved this budget by sourcing parts from junk yards and doing all the work himself.
Sterling used a toy model that he enlarged in 3D-drafting software Solidworks to help 3D print many of the parts used in their project car. Using desktop 3D printers such as a QIDI X Pro, they were able to 3D-print many of the parts used in the car.
► Full Name = Sterling Bakus
► State / Country = Colorado / USA
► 3D Printed Pieces Total = 1000
► Total print time = 6000 hours
► Average time per piece = 6 hours average per piece
► Longest Print Time = was 52 hrs for the front scoops which cool the brakes.
► Lambo Not For Sale = But has had $100k offers
► Future Plans = Will continue to refine it for years to come, no other new cars planned.
► Lambo Parts = Lamborghini donated parts, but the car will not be badged Lamborghini
► 3D printer = CR-10S from Amazon
Thanks for watching.
NOTE: I waited 4 years to tell this story, I first contacted Sterling Backus in late 2019, and asked how far off from finishing the Lambo is he, and he said late 2020, well it was late 2022 when he got it done.
So as I like to tell complete stories, I said I would until he has the body painted and the interior all finished, and the car looks like a complete car, at that time I will tell his story.
Lots of other people have told his story in 2019 on an incomplete car, I wait 4 years until it was finished.
