V diplomskem delu smo razvili in izdelali prototip zadnje luči za vozilo Suzuki Samurai letnik 1997 z novim dizajnom. Cilj dela je bil dokazati, da je z metodo 3D-tiska iztiskavanje materiala in dostopnimi materiali mogoče izdelati funkcionalen nadomestni del za starejše vozilo, katerega originalni nadomestni deli niso več na voljo. Za zajem dimenzij originalne luči sta bili uporabljeni dve metodi 3D-skeniranja: fotogrametrija s pametnim telefonom in lasersko skeniranje na fakulteti. Primerjava je pokazala, da je za dimenzijsko zanesljivo računalniško modeliranje primerno le lasersko skeniranje. Na podlagi pridobljenih mer je bil v programu Autodesk Fusion zmodeliran celoten prototip, ki obsega zgornji in spodnji del ohišja, tesnilni čep ter kalup za preoblikovanje akrilnega stekla. Ohišje je bilo natisnjeno iz ASA filamenta na tiskalniku Creality K1 Max, tesnilni čep iz TPU filamenta in kalup iz PETG filamenta pa na tiskalniku Bambu Lab A1 Mini. Prozoren pokrov je bil izdelan iz akrilnega stekla debeline 1 mm z vakuumsko metodo preoblikovanja ob segrevanju s fenom za vroč zrak. Razvoj prototipa je potekal postopoma, pri čemer so bile po vsakem tisku ugotovljene pomanjkljivosti sproti odpravljene in model ustrezno prilagojen. Končni prototip se je pravilno prilegel odprtini na odbijaču vozila, pritrditev z vijaki je bila stabilna, svetloba je enakomerno prehajala skozi difuzijsko folijo in akrilno steklo, ohišje pa je pri testu z vodo ostalo suho. Vakuumska metoda preoblikovanja akrila je dala zadovoljive rezultate, vendar je na pokrovu ostala rahlo vidna linija na mestu spoja kalupa, kar kaže na omejitve metode pri domači izdelavi.

• Title: Development of rear light prototype for 1997 Suzuki Samurai vehicle with new appearance

Abstract

The diploma thesis presents the development and production of a rear light prototype for a 1997 Suzuki Samurai vehicle with a new design. The aim of the work was to demonstrate that functional replacement parts for older vehicles, for which original parts are no longer available, can be produced using FDM 3D-printing technology and accessible materials. Two 3D-scanning methods were used to capture the dimensions of the original light: photogrammetry with a smartphone and laser scanning at the faculty. The comparison showed that laser scanning is the only suitable method for dimensionally reliable computer modelling. Based on the obtained measurements, a complete prototype was modelled in Autodesk Fusion, comprising the upper and lower housing, a sealing plug and a mould for shaping the acrylic glass. The housing was printed from ASA filament on a Creality K1 Max printer, the sealing plug from TPU filament and the mould from PETG filament on a Bambu Lab A1 Mini printer. The transparent cover was made from 1 mm acrylic glass using a vacuum forming method with heating by a heat gun. The development of the prototype proceeded gradually, with identified shortcomings corrected after each print and the model adjusted accordingly. The final prototype fitted correctly into the opening on the vehicle's bumper, the screw attachment was stable, light passed evenly through the diffusion foil and acrylic glass, and the housing remained dry during the water test. The vacuum forming method produced satisfactory results, however a slightly visible line remained on the cover at the joint of the mould, indicating the limitations of the method in a home production environment.
