Introducing the "Funk Machine"

During the last 2 years I spent some time at customizing my small car, a Citroën AMI 100% electric.
I's a very minimalistic tiny car that can go as fast as 45 km/h with an autonomy of 70 km.
And here "minimalistic" means that there was place for a lot of improvements...
The Citroën AMI is a 2 doors/2 seats tiny car that doesn't need a driving license and can be driven by 14 years old kids (in France).
I comes with absolutely no superficial accessories except a USB port. Nothing more...
So I decided to customize it by myself using 3D printing, laser cutting, vinyl cutting, some electronics and even a bit of embroidery.
You remember that I did some heat resistant 3D print material tests some time ago ?
It was exactly for this project. Every 3D printed accessories have been printed using ASA to avoid deformation during hot days.
Don't forget that PLA starts to deform at 48°C which is very low !
All in all here is a (non hexaustive) list of the different things I made :
Exterior
- Personalized stickers (vinyl cutting)
- Front lightings protection (3D printing)
- Colored direction lights (3D printing)
- Fake ventilation grids (3D printing)
Interior
- Doors opening/closing straps handles (3D printing)
- Doors storage spaces (laser cutting)
- Doors sill trims holders (3D printing)
- Seats personalized logos (3D printing)
- Rear storages logos (CAM embroidery)
- Parking brake handle (3D printing)
- Volant logo (3D printing)
- Passenger vaporizer holder (laser cutting)
- Phone/Accessories holder (3D printing)
- 50W RMS bluetooth phono + speaker (electronics + laser cutting)
- 2nd bluetooth front speaker (electronics)
- Left + Right cigar lighters (3D printing)
- USB x4 hub (3D printing)
- Paper storage (3D printing)
- One-button Drive selector (3D printing)
- Secret compartiment (3D printing)
- Personalized yellow jacket (DTG printing)
just to list the most noticeable mods.
And here is the result :
the "FUNK MACHINE"

AND YOUR ASS WILL FOLLOW !
