This man built himself a 3D-printed Porsche GT3, and now he’s adding a bunch of cool upgrades to it.

The Australian man set out to build the iconic sports car completely from scratch.

And he did it using only 3D-printed parts.

Not only did he successfully build it with 3D parts, he’s giving the DIY Porsche some seriously cool and visually striking upgrades.

Porsche GT3 built from scratch with 3D-printed pieces

YouTuber Mike Lake is known for taking on some hefty and ambitious automotive projects.

But his most recent project was the most far-reaching one yet.

The Australian YouTuber was in the process of building a car solely comprised of 3D-printed parts.

But he was not just building any old car.

Instead, he was working on a 992-era Porsche GT3.

This Porsche GT3 was based on the underpinnings of a Porsche Boxster.

The Australian man and his team did a truly brilliant job.

More than 466 original parts were installed in order to give the car its current shape.

But one key piece was missing.

And that was, of course, the enormous rear wing of the Porsche GT3.

Mike actually managed to craft the rear wing itself – and he even got the DRS system to work on the first try.

But there was a major problem – the rear wing risers were nowhere near strong enough.

Why the rear wing proved such a big challenge

Mike realized he needed to use a laser to make sure all of the parts fit absolutely perfectly.

With the 3D printer set up in his garage, Mike was able to print the rear wing riser covers all by himself.

Fixing a spoiler system in place took a lot of work.

In fact, Mike and his friend spent 15 minutes just making sure the bracket was in exactly the right place before committing to welding.

After a lot of measuring and tinkering, the pair finally got the bracket just right.

The even better news was that the wing blades were fully bonded together, making them much stronger.

Now came the moment of truth: fitting the enormous, 3D-printed rear wing.

“So far so good”, Mike said nervously.

“All of the bolts go in, which is a good sign.”

The fitment, as it turned out, was absolutely perfect.

By the end of the video, the overall setup was extremely solid.

Mike said there was still a bit of work to be done, including making the mounts a little more solid.

But he was stoked with the progress of his DIY Porsche.

We can’t wait to see the finished result. But for now, you can check out his work in the video below:
