- This is a 3-d printing project, see www.thingiverse.com/thing:91464
It shows how to combine the immense strength of carbon fibre with the design versatility of 3-d printing. - Věda a technologie
Yes the epoxy sticks really well to PLA. I use wax which makes the epoxy release from most materials, but it doesn't work with PLA, you will need a proper release agent.
If you are using a good CAD package, you can design the part, then the moulds for both sides. Matched die moulding is a super way to make high quality carbon parts.
This was in the trending tab for me.
great video. Have you tried reinforcing the 3d printed plastic itself without carbon fabric? I wonder if making it porous and putting some sort of resin will make pla or abs moderately strong yet keeping the looks.
I used PLA, so these parts are limited by the weak material under the carbon. I hoped I could get it out using boiling water, it goes soft but very rubbery and hard to remove. I will try soluble PVA one day to make pure carbon parts.
A really great idea! Now I have to think how I'll use it! LOL
why is this 3 year old video trending, and why am I watching it?
+Nale Nash Article on this came out on Hackaday yesterday.
Because this is brilliant.
gr8 work, thanks for the sharing, bravo
so the epoxy glues to the PLA quite well it seems. I was thinking about creating inverse shapes, and coat the molds with laminate. It probably will only work if one uses a seperation agent..
How were those angles determined? How did you determine how far apart they needed to be?
U WUT M8? I just estimated the angles and thickness of the strands, but you could test it with a FEA program. I found it really helpful to make a test model of wood, then practice winding it with thin string around pins. Without any calculations, I was amazed the tee piece worked first time!
hi can u tel me what is the thickness of the inner wall of that pipe thats bent and also what material is it made of thanks.
The ally tube is 25mm OD x 1.2. Came from the hardware store, and its hard. Probably 6061 T6 or 6063 T5. Not fancy aircraft ally.
Most light aircraft are built with 6061 T6, more than ones built with 2024.
nice! are you using PLA or ABS?
very....very nice.....congratulations....... São Paulo - Capital - Brasil
thats some heavy breathing, you okay man?
graphene
Useless in my mind, in a few short years that plastic will just crumble away.
You mean carbon fiber..
