For those who are wondering why carbon fiber parts are so expensive, well this process itself is the answer.

That’s why i love carbon fiber parts, masterpiece of work

[@HenkeLevin]

It only took 10 minutes 😉

[@rich7331]

ehhh for a one-off part, sure, but for mass-produced parts, it's pretty easy to turn them out. not to much more involved then molded plastic parts.

[@matteoballanti5879]

I have made the same part but with silicone mold and prepreg , and i keep the 2 line of the original part!! Try the keihin cover (if you have a 625 or a 660) i have made one but not happy with the result.. Very nice channel , i appreciate!!!

[@jeffallen3382]

I made a carbon fiber cover for the rear brake master cylinder on my 1999 Suzuki RM125 about 20 years ago. I made a clay impression mold and then layered the carbon fiber into the mold. I was going to go into making fork covers for dirt bikes but never got around to that project. I wish I had done that...

[@billyvray]

Good work. Great vid. You might consider an oscillating tool for cutting the hardened composite. It works great without slinging debris everywhere like a rotary tool .

Hi, nice video! Can I ask why you added aluminum powder to the gelcoat? Does it have any structural reinforcing effect, or can it prevent the tool from warping?

Brilliant! How would I make similar but with a couple of locating prongs \ tabs on the rear?? It's for two clip on motorbike side panels.. I get the front face ... But can't get my head round now I'd incorporate two locating tabs that would hold the part to the bike frame! Would it be easier to just blue on after?

[@davidgalietti3398]

I was expecting some fiberglass hackery.. but that was pretty awesome.

[@TheSulross]

Well, this was really cool - to see how to actually make such a part. However, questions for the curious remain: 1) was this part chosen as an interesting tutorial example or was there any compelling reason to make this part out of carbon-fibre 2) it's a pretty intense series of steps to go through (vs, say, 3D printing parts), so some back-ground on when and why to chose making parts out of carbon-fiber would be of interest 3) what kind of conditions can carbon-fibre parts be subjected to - temperature range, what solvents might potentially weaken them, what kind of mechanical shock/stress can they be subjected to 4) can the mold be re-used? Great video!

[@rileyward4929]

1) probably just impact force so it doesnt break easily it is on an outdoor vehicle after all 2) it is a lot of steps i agree 3) conditions are mostly determined by the resin you use some take heat or uv better than others as well as the coats you do after if any 4) short answer yes but depending on how you make the mold can determine its stiffness and longevity

[@nicholasjjacob]

Amazing results! I don’t see you using epoxy before or after laying down your sheets. Do you use any? Or is it just molded with the vacuum?

This is prepreg carbon fibre meaning the epoxy is already in the carbon cloth and cures at high temperatures

Hi, what clearcoat you are using?

[@ckrzero29]

New sub, thanks for the guides

[@jonathanw2036]

Great video! How many coats of clear were needed to get this finish? I saw your other video with the XCR squeegee'd into pin holes, but here you don't show that and it seems literally 1 coat? And with your aluminium filled gel coat, do you use that because you found that the standard Unimould gel gives more pinholes with the Prepreg? Or some other reason?

[@CarbonWorkshops]

Only clear coat on this part because it came from the mould pin hole free. With the aluminium powder, this is added to increase the temperature the gel coat can withstand as uni mould can only go up to 90deg c. Thanks!

[@jonathanw2036]

@@CarbonWorkshops and only 1 coat of clear? I've been doing 3 sessions of several coats with sanding in between, cleaning with degreaser and silicone remover, and even when it's pinhole free from the mould I can't prevent pinholes appearing in the clearcoat...

Just make 3d model, print it, wrap fibers around and proceed like you see here. But I guess just printed part can be enough (probably with some reinforcement).
