'69 Camaro Temper

[CamaroAJ]

So I made my first carbon fiber infuse part. It is one layer 2x2 then two layers of 12k plain weave. It's pretty strong, but flimsy so I won't be using it. The weave laid down almost perfect so I got that part figured out. I'm going to be laying up another one once I get the mold prepped and the carbon gets here. This time I'm adding a 2mm core and another layer of 12k to it to stiffen it up. As it is right now my iPhone 6 weighs more than this part.

I also chased a vacuum leak for a long time and never got it perfect, which caused some fixable problems in the outer layer. This second part I'm going to envelope the whole mold and that will take care of any leaks I had in the joint. Hopefully more updates on it in the next week or so with a perfect usable part.
