Painting on forged carbon fiber instead of canvas... good idea?

Forged carbon fiber is very prone to voids/pinholes, but they are fixable with some careful work and patience. Full tutorial https://youtu.be/4-jGtLN-mfs

Making beautiful forged carbon fiber parts doesn't have to be complicated. I've been experimenting with using off-the-shelf silicone molds, filling with epoxy and chopped carbon fiber and curing the parts in a pressure pot to reduce voids.

Cutting a push dagger from a 6mm thick block of carbon fiber with silver wave pattern. Sheath is heat formed from Kydex.
Project Notes:
4:13 Knife is coated with CA glue to fill small voids and create a glossier finish. Once dry, this is smoothed with sandpaper and plastic polish and the blade is sharpened.
5:44 A wood block of similar size and shape to the blade is used as a mold for the heated Kydex.

#CarbonFiber #CarbonFiberKnife #KydexSheath

Forming a Ford logo car badge using a sheet of dry forged carbon fiber, epoxy resin and 3D printed mold.
►►►Dry Forged Carbon Fiber Sheet: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ULTICARBON
►►►3D Printed Mold .stl (free): https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-111558
Project Notes
1:39 Dry forged carbon sheet is placed face down in a resin coated mold and additional resin added from the back to saturate. Attempting to add resin to the front of the sheet would break down the binder and cause the carbon pieces to dislodge/deform.
4:05 First casting was challenging to remove due to some slight undercuts in the mold and the very thin single layer part. It also had some gaps and thin spots which were filled and reinforced by adding small patches of additional carbon fiber to the back as shown at 5:40. The mold was revised for the second casting and a backing layer of twill weave carbon fiber added over the forged sheet, making the second part easy to remove and gap free.
5:48 This quick prototype mold was modeled in Fusion 360, 3D printed and minimally post-processed. Better designed and finished tooling would produce higher quality results straight from the mold.

Making a minimalist wallet from flexible sheets of real forged carbon fiber. The piece are cut using a template and sewn together with a lambskin leather lining using a combination of hand and machine stitching. The finished card holder features the stunning holographic effect of forged carbon fiber in a strong and flexible form. This is my first attempt at making a wallet.

Improving the best ergonomic computer mouse input devices using 3d printing. These are all devices I purchased, not sponsored or sent for free. My current setup includes a Kinesis DXT vertical mouse, Kensington SlimBlade trackball, a SpaceMouse with a Rii mini keyboard for easy access to shortcuts and a Huion HS64 graphic tablet. In my opinion this is the perfect combination of devices for 3d modeling plus photo and video editing.

Creating a dagger design based on the description in the Wheel of Time fantasy novel series. First I'll show you the painting and assembly and then take a look at the design iteration and post-processing to prepare the prop for paint. The dagger features a crossbar with golden serpents baring their fangs, a fine gold wrapped texture on the hilt and a polished red and blue star ruby stone capping the hilt.

These are tools that I purchased and use in my own projects. Nothing was sponsored or provided free. Quick overview plus practical demo of two power sanders and two hand sanding blocks that make sanding easier and more efficient. The random orbit polisher shown at the end has velcro added so it can use standard polishing pads plus a dimmer switch to make it variable speed.
