Hi, It's Gordon from Taiwan.
I found your videos very inspiring.
How many layups do you use in this video?
you make it look so easy :D
It is
Hi from 🇵🇷 Puerto Rico Boss
Awesome content…..
Really want to learn do things in carbon
As usual jam up job loved the video
Nice time to build your own CNC ;) MPCNC you can print it out with your 3D printers :)
Nowhere near enough free time for a project like that. I looked into them about 2 years ago.
you are my inspiration
Well that's a cool steering wheel! Hey quick question, if your doing a wet layup without a vacuum bag, do you have to let each layer get tacky before starting the next layer, or just lay all 4 layers right after another? Great video by the way!
No need to wait.
@@ajhartmanaero OK awesome, thank you for the response, I'm doing my first CF part next weekend!
Your video always gives me ideas to improve my work flow so thank you! I was wondering what material you have on your workbench that you're using as a cutting mat as I usually cut large pieces and a 1m x 1m cutting board isn't efficient
Cutting mat.
Not carbon steering wheel specific but removable racing wheel question.
Do you run wireless steering wheel controls and if so which one? I liked the NRG style ones but they don’t make them anymore.
I don’t.
I know it might be boring subject, but can you do a video on how you do packaging and shipping of your parts?
Maybe if I run out of other ideas.
I have a few questions about making molds if you have time to answer.
Do I need a license agreement to produce parts for cars?
Crazy thing to ask buy the hood on my mk7 Jetta s recently got hit by a truck and was looking for a carbon hood but have had no luck finding any, if possible could I pay you to custom make me one?
What type of vaccum pump could I use for similar projects? Minimum cfm would you recommend? Great work and tutorials.... Thanks
Mine is 7cfm since I do large parts sometimes. A 3cfm is fine for beginners or smaller parts.
Just curious, why not just wet lay up the plies and then vacuum bag it. What's the advantage of resin infusion?
Better surface finish.
@@ajhartmanaero I've personally laid up thousands of pounds of composites and learned that the surface finish is determined by the mold surface. In your case, the glass. I've never done resin infusion, just hand lay and vacuum bagging. Would resin infusion really make a difference with the same glass surface?
@@GrantOakes I found that to be the case for me. It’s not vastly different, but enough.
@@ajhartmanaero Thanks, I'll probably do a test myself.
What is the weight of the 3k and 12k that you are using in your videos?
5.7 and 18.9 I think.
Hello how I can contact with you
Surprised to see actually infusing rather than just getting a plate of quasi-isotropic. More surprised to see cutting by hand rather than by CNC. If you ever need a quick turn around on CNC plate ask for a quote from a copany called CNC Madness, they did sendcutsend style CNC work for making FPV racing drone frames. Can run a dxf with a quickness. I started with CNC thanks to FPV and set my first CNC up to do all my carbon cutting submerged so I could suspend the dust and run it through a filter to capture and dispose of it. 2nd CNC on the way so I can get 10x the speed in aluminum of my current mill while starting to play around in steel.
How does one with barely any money get good quality carbon parts made for their car? I want to get some parts for my 14 Mustang GT like 1/4 panels, doors, front splitter and canards?
Learn to make them yourself. Even then, materials and tools aren't cheap.
Buy local, as a hobbyist building CF parts for my track car I found that buying carbon fiber fabric online has an insane mark up. A local boat supply shop nearby has the fabric for nearly 50% of the online price. Things like epoxy, hardener, fillers, foam etc are hard to find for a cheaper price. They seem to be evenly priced across the spectrum. I started doing wet layups, now I do wet layups with vacuum bagging. Wet layup is the way to go for a hobbyist, I just happened to have a vacuum pump already. It’s 90% prep work to get a good mold or part. Don’t forget your mold release agent. Catastrophe will follow if you do.
P.S. I did a lot of research on how to make carbon parts, but I mostly followed AJ Hartman instruction/tips. Thanks AJ, you made my experience less of a headache
