Carbon Fiber Rally Light Pod. ⛛ Cyberpunk Miata Build
In this video I really wanted to challenge myself and go outside of my comfort zone. Starting off by designing a CAD model for a new rally inspired light bar, I then 3D printed a set of moulds and used those to create the final part out of vacuum bagged carbon fiber.
This was my first time making a complex shape out of carbon and so things didn't go perfectly to plan but I am still happy with the outcome.
Enjoy the video.

Cyberpunk Miata Build: The Chimera

With V3.0 of this build I wanted to move away from the soft lines of the original Miata and create something much more menacing. In this video I tear down the rear end, and install a new FD Rx7 front end, earning the car it's new nickname, the Chimera. The name Chimera comes from Greek mythology and is a fire-breathing hybrid with a serpent's tail, a goats body and the head of a lion. This repr...

    I have "stumbled" on to your vids from time to time. I do have an interest in CF work, and this has given me ideas that will cost me a bunch of money I really don't have. 😂 As for the "imperfections", have you tried doing this with chopped fiber? Might help with the tight corners and give you the "forged" look.

    24:50 I dont get why you used the inside of the shape as a mould. That way, you optained a much smaller part than what you had in cad. or maybe I am missing something. (I get that it was planned, I just think that a bigger light pod would have looked cooler) Also, if you intended to use the 3d printing as a mould, why print it with the light holes, and then plug them, when you could have printed it with the holes plugged from the start Also, you made "glitched" carbon for your wheels, why not do it for the rally lights too, and use that style all around the car? (ok I saw the extra footage now, hope to see the glitch carbon look coming again!
