Description

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. Please consider supporting on Patreon.
