- Expanding my manufacturing abilities to now CARBON COMPOSITES! Some exotic and cool carbon fiber parts coming soon!
By mandrel wrapping, I can now make carbon fiber rocket airframes! This means a lightweight, robust, and durable rockets!
Vacuum forming 3d prints ensures stiffer and stronger parts. For example, the test carbon fiber legs have virtually eliminated flex within the PLA legs.

As you might already know...I LOVE CARBON FIBER
Maybe I should make a Electron Model rocket? 🤔
I hope you also like the new outro screen!
🐺🇺🇸🐺🇺🇸🐺🇺🇸🐺🇺🇸🐺🇺🇸🐺🇺🇸🐺🇺🇸🐺🇺🇸
Wow, this awesome Yukon! I can't wait to see what you make with it
Thanks man! Me too! I can't wait to see what other things I'll make with it
@@CanineDefenseTechnologies I want to make my first rocky frame like this how many layers of carbon paper in this tube 1 or 2

That airframe turned out really clean! Nice work man!!
Do make sure you wear your mask and have good ventilation all the time- CFRP can be dangerous stuff- but the results are definitely worth the extra effort!!!!
Thanks so much guys! I'm glad you liked it!
Also thanks for the heads up! I am doing it in the garage with the door open and a fan blowing out the entire time. I also keep the respirator and gloves on the entire time too. Yes the resim and the carbon particles are quite nasty! I should've worn long sleeves though to avoid the particles from contaminating my clothes.
P.S. Also still waiting on getting my hands onto some D motors so try the 5 dollar rocket challenge as soon as I find a launch site!
Awesome!! Can’t wait to see what else you make! Keep up the great work! And new outro?? I love it!!
Carbon fiber ASMR
Awesome video Yukon!
Thanks man!
Incredible!
Thanks! Also Incredibly smelly too lol 😂 if you ever try it, the epoxy fumes are nasty
I think you should make electron with landing.legs it will be awesome!
Your channel is so underrated
This is the answer to my prays 😂. Thanks Yukon.
Yay I'm so glad!
I really like your content, and i thank you alot for making the files free. Will you do a tutorial for a flight computer
Yup open source flight computers are in development right now! I already have the pcbs, but the better latest version is going online soon! Also in terms of tutorials, people have been asking for them, so I think I will make a few
Thank you alot,im very exited for the future of your channel. you really inspire me to build rockets😄😀
@@slimspeedy9236 I'm very glad! And thanks!
I was also able to use your models to make fully functional landing legs at 1/3 the scale
That's so awesome!
You should definitely get a brush for epoxy application. Also get some peel ply fabric to get super smooth surface and remove excess resin.
Thank you, and yes I'm aware of that. Peel ply is something I want to use in the future, but it won't matter much for the tubeing because I will sand and add a gloss coating on it later on. As for a brush, yes I really should use a brush 😅 well the wood sticks worked though, though it was janky. Anyway thanks for your suggestions!
@@CanineDefenseTechnologies no problem! Have you tried comparing weight of tubes yet?
@@linecraftman3907 comparing to the paper tube? Not yet, but I'll tell you the carbon tubes feels like I'm holding nothing
@@CanineDefenseTechnologies I'd like some numbers :D
@@linecraftman3907 Just measured it just for you! 62.5 grams just for the tube, but it will have more layers on it most likely
Awesome!
Thanks!
what other components do you use other than an arduino for the flight computer
Hardware or electronic wise? Also the list is a bit long 😅
@@CanineDefenseTechnologies like hardware i just need to know what to buy
CARBON FIBER
What kind of duct tape you use that doesn't stick to epoxy resin ?
Will it be a landing leg reinforcement?
Yup! Already did it and the legs are SUPEr strong!
I have some questions please what type of paper you used in the begening and why heating in the end
The paper liner used is parchment paper used as baking liners. It's similar to was paper but they both can work. Heating helps the epoxy to cure a little faster, allow the bubbles to degass, and also helps it to bond stronger. Adding heat to the resin makes it much stronger than just letting it cure alone. Using a heatgun is sort of a cheat, I will use a hotbox in the future which will continuously add heat during curing, and help the heat to evenly spread throughout the tube as it cures.
@@CanineDefenseTechnologies after its cured, do the carbon tube will easily detached from the tube mold?
@@philipsamuel6235 yes it is removed
Carbon fibre is the best
AGREED
Agreed
Could you share your source for the CF and what weight you're using?
Using commercial grade twill weave 6 oz
@@CanineDefenseTechnologies Thank you, again! :-)
Hi, how did you get the carbon fiber off the tube?? Did you use some release agent for the epoxy?
The entire mandrel is wrapped in was paper as shown in the beginning. Just slides right off with a bit of effort
Canine Rocket Technologies is the paper the inside of the epoxy tube then? Like a sacrificial tube? I’m currently trying to make a coil, and am not sure if I should use sacrificial paper like you or a release agent like PVA or patrolium jelly. What do you think 🙂
@@gedr7664 release agent is a great proven method, the only issue is it's really hard to pull it off the mandrel. Sorry, I forgot the mention the paper I used was wax paper, the epoxy doesn't stick to it at all. The tube is clean and fully carbon fiber. No paper stuck on it or anything
@@CanineDefenseTechnologies Thanks a ton! I bought some reynolds wax paper from ebay and will try this next week! At 2:30 I saw that you also used the epoxy directly on the blue tape-- I presume this is painters/masking tape. Does the epoxy not stick to the tape? Sorry for so many questions, I just don't have anyone I know in person I could asked. Btw you got yourself a sub!
@@gedr7664 the tape is hard to remove and can possible get imbedded into the carbon in some areas. Usually acetone will melt it off. But I usually just leave it alone. What people do is usually coat the tape in mold release. I just leave it on the carbon tube, it's in the inside and dosen't effect the final result
