I think you outdid yourself on the intake manifold. That had to be a challenge and it looks incredible.
Are the curves done with something like "spline fits" or do you splice arcs? Generating those "compound" curves in multiple planes must have taken some time.
Does the CAD software make it easy to add a radius along all those "irregular" curves after building, for example, one runner? Or do you have to radius each segment of the runner as you build the volume?
Does your CAD system smooth as part of the design or part of the rendering? Or does that happen when you generate the print file?
Totally cool that the distributor drops into a hole.
I am totally intrigued... thanks again for sharing your work.
