    Do you think PETG-CF would work for this model? Or its too heavy compared to PA-CF

    • @geode_rc
      @geode_rc  5 дней назад

      @@ripmax333 PETG is about 15% heavier than PA. This will roughly increase AUW by ~8%. Not significant but there is a clear difference for Carbon Bug.

    aha keeping the motor people happy, wheeeeerrrrrrrrrrrooooommmm 😂 great work as usual. Dont know what youve tried yet but you could try slowly shrinking the laminate with a hair dryer or a heat gun held very far away, helps if you havent de-fogged the covering and use the opacity as a guage to determine how hot and how fast the covering is getting. The thin stuff actually shrinks a lot but the amount of shrinking is somewhat controllable. So you start far away without the glue activated and gradually move in on it, hold until a little after the fog's gone. You would do it after tacking the edged but not the ribs. Just my experience with laminste ive been through over 3000 feet of it in various thicknesses

      Thanks 👍, I did get a heat gun and it work very nice on PA-CF or PLA ribs. In this case, I use LW PLA, it just deformED the ribs before the doculam shrink 😂😂😂
