If you like the Porsche Taycan and scaled-down models, you’re going to love this — an artist created a model of the Taycan using a 3D pen in a mere 40 days.

That’s right — a 3D pen and not a 3D printer.

If it doesn’t seem all that significant, it most likely will after you know how much work goes into creating even the smallest of objects.

Artist creates hand-made Porsche Taycan using a 3D pen

Creating anything ‘workable’ or something even with the right shape is a work of art in itself.

That’s because the process requires you to have a large amount of skill, patience, and sheer will.

The Porsche Taycan produced by the artist may look small, but it’s certainly better than any Lego model or an RC car.

The creator, who goes by momandeum, uploaded a video on their YouTube channel that documented the entire process.

Watching something that took 40 days in 22 minutes is a delight for us viewers, but the extended hours are no small duration.

Although 3D printers have become so advanced that they can print entire houses in 80 hours, using a 3D pen for scaled projects has its benefits.

For instance, the artist gets to improvise if they don’t like anything or correct their mistakes by sanding off the parts.

Momandeum started off by designing the car’s frame and chassis by using guiding cardboard cutouts.

These looked plain enough at the beginning, but they further filled in to draw the entire chassis.

It was an intricate process, to say the least.

Every step requires patience and perfection

They filled in the chassis stroke by stroke — something that needs extreme patience.

After the chassis was ready, it was time to take it off the cardboard base and do some smoothening.

They used a sanding tool to smoothen the entire surface, making it flat and shiny.

Further, they began working on the most challenging task of the build — creating the smaller parts of the exterior.

This included a dynamic spoiler, front and rear lights, door frames, and almost everything else.

You see, the Porsche Taycan is an absolute beast of a sports car, but it also has a great number of parts.

To create an identical model, momandeum needed to draw each part with care.

That extra dedication and effort made for a major chunk of the total time, you’d have to think.

After several more hours of this remarkable craftsmanship and installing what looked like the base of an RC car, the Porsche Taycan was ready.

It was as if someone shrank a custom Taycan model and made for a mesmerizing watch.

If you get some time on your hands, we recommend watching the entire video because it’s well worth your time.

That is if you’re a car enthusiast or someone who likes watching really skilled people going about their business.
