You did this the really hard way. 😂

You've been doing this for years and half the comments are armchair makers saying dumb shit like "you'll get splinters!", "carbon fibre outlet cover why???", "the short is too short!" Its experimentation you morons! Let Lindy cook!

It was really enjoyable to watch, great work!

.275 Support distance?

Nice work. Thanks from Colorado.

Cool project! I have a work vehicle that could benefit from some 'upgrades' like this! (repairs are basically upgrades, right?)

Awesome

Where do you get your UV protectant from?

The drips are easier to remove, when you cover the bottom of the canvas with masking tape

cool. thank you for sharing

Fantastic video!

So many useful tips!! Great content!!!

Amazing

Epoxy is so dang expensive, I can’t think of anything I’d need so strong I’d be willing to spend the money and time to do that vs printing what I need when I need it. Maybe you can give me some tips on what to make so I have an excuse to do that lol

If you fill your parts with epoxy resin it will be impossible to recycle them

that made me itchy just lookin at it

you are amazing :) Thanks for the tips!

Great, that i searching about a non toxic sealer spray for my next OOAK. Thanks!😁😁😁😁

I always do the last one screw cantilevers

These are some really good tips. Good stuff!

cool!

Wow, This really hit. This is actually a very poetic summary of thoughts and feelings I've never been able to put into words.

It's shameful that with all the 3dp content out there this is the first time I have seen anyone talk about these.

Carbon is conductive dosent seem like a good idea for a outlet cover

Doing all this only to NOT show the result...

The idea of that made me uncomfortable, it's just ...shards of plastic 😫

I can think of some "poorboy" applications...inexpensive masts for sailboats...or hell..make a hull out of it !

I like that "filling with resin" tip.

#4 also makes the prints stronger because it prints solid walls instead of infill

How hot is the press?

Why?

Thanks for sharing your process! I'd like to work more with fiberglass but every time I reach for my fiberglass-scrap-encrusted tin of resin I'm reminded of what a God awful mess it creates. There's no clean way to do anything involving fiberglass lol.

Those are really good advices

I can tell you haven’t experienced carbon fiber splinters before , keep mushing down resin like that and you’ll be removing that splinter for a couple years

Oh and one more thing lol. If you do the mold in the arrangement you have the release agent is still on the part so you should sand it down really well before spraying anything on it or even putting additional coats of epoxy because the release agent is in between and will leave avoid. Maybe having wiped it down with some acetone would ensure you've gotten all your release agent off of the item.

Oh and I forgot to tell you there are additives you can add to your epoxy to make it UV resistant and there's also epoxy with it already in the epoxy but it is more expensive. I found the spray ends up cracking due to the fluctuation of the part itself in the heat and cold and It flexes when on the road or shutting the door.

What will help your final seal or coat seep into the pinholes and smooth everything out put your can into a cup of warm water it warms up the spray helping to make it more fluid. If you don't have access to that then a heat gun works very well keep it at a nice distance about 12 in and sweep back and forth. This warms up the product helping it flow into the pits as well as helping the drawing process. Great video Thank you for sharing. I'm in the process of making a new headliner for my boyfriend's van. I started with regular fiberglass for the main mold and then I will do a layer of carbon fiber last. My mold is backwards of yours. Because the part that is exposed to the eye is the outer area. Thanks for sharing take care

Not a bad set of tips. Please get a pop filter for your mic, your P sounds really bump in my earbuds!

Loving the finish

....Why have I not been doing these things.... Brilliant!

awesome!

very cool! hope you're wearing a respirator while sanding

Take a magnifying glass. And have a look how much carbon you have embedded in your fingers now. Please don’t handle carbon fiber. Also your lungs.

Looks like you painted some trees on a cheap glass fiber panel tbh, you need to somehow make it pop more for it to have effect.

Happiest little rocks that I have ever seen

I like it.

Can you talk any faster?, i could almost understand what you were saying...

I've been pulling all nighters for the past 20 years or so, this is so true Not only well rested morning productivity gets more done, but keeping yourself out of the circadian cycle wrecks your health

when you think you are ok at speaking and understanding english but then you randomly see this video

Those look awesome!
