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 :
