Hi Turner, I'm still wondering how you can get the mandrel out of the pressure vessel once the filament winding is done. Any tips on how the mandrel gets removed? Also any thoughts on the liner buckling due to the applied winding load in case you do have a liner in your design. Thank you

I have problem operating the x winder, the carriage fails to return to the origin Any help will be appreciated

Hello Turner. Thank you for your video! I am posting my team and I own one of these winders are having trouble setting up the code. We are having issues with the head diving in to soon on the ends and with the head retracing in a non-curved path. Would it be possible for you to share the sets and pattern g-code for this run? Thank you!

How do you remove the mandrel in this type of 4 axis filament winder?

[@GavynPendleton]

That's exactly what I am wondering

[@RBAERO]

This time is manufacturer is not demolded the mandrel is part of the structure. I think this mandrel is used only for example.

[@jackhydrazine1376]

Do you think you'll develop a mod kit that will allow you to turn a mandrel larger than eight inches in diameter?
