I'd put it all in the same tank. Grey water is nasty either way, and you'll spend less time emptying one tank.

I think you've done the right things already. Just stop driving like a stuntman and you'll be fine. :D

The 1000+ pound estimate on weight saving is high. CF looks amazing on paper, when only looking at data for the fiber fabric. But when you factor in the resins (which are the same ones used for glass), what you really get with carbon fiber is 7-10% more strength / weight, at X times the cost...

The above estimation is very optimistic, you save more like 10%. Basically none understands how good modern day glass fiber is.

I'm sure you've all seen these, but the Land Rover safari roof option deserves a mention here.

I would go with this method. Maybe even skip the rivets, if we are talking about a thin skin.

Most places that stock the panels, will have matching corner-, door-, etc profiles. Here is the selection of my local Ecofont vendor, for example: https://www.tmt.fi/cms/en/tmt-malinen-oy/products/aluminium-products/aluminium-sections That's probably not the most convenient shop for you, being...

Very cool truck. I'd just wire brush away any loose rust, paint the affected spots with proper chassis paint, and call it good.

Agreed. Regular PLA is still one of the stronger materials, and annealing increases strength and temperature resistance a lot. The cost is reduced dimensional accuracy in the form of shrinkage. But yeah, printing shelf brackets, hinges and other medium-duty stuff with PLA works fine. You just...

The viability of a 3d printer for you, hinges on your CAD skills. For anyone who knows any CAD, a 3d printer is just too much fun to even consider not having. Something like a Creality Ender 3 is ~200 euros shipped, and way better than you'd expect from China. I find that 3d printing doesn't...
