It works great to wrap a 3d print and then vacuum bag it. Please contact me if you need some advices. www.SwedishHarpBass.com/ Regards. Joel

People tend to have mixed results when it comes to skinning or wrapping parts. it is easy to go overboard with vac and end up with the fibres moving and creasing or folding.

But I got a nice result after some sanding and spray lacquer. I guess it would be possible to create a mold from my 3D printed part but that would be hard since it would require a lot of sanding and filling. The 3D modell is printed in 6 parts and then glued together: Molding would be another learning cure to conquest but I will buy the molding starterkit from Easycomposites to learn the process. Thinking about building a totally new instrument with 40 extra strings + electromagnets. Also a guitar with sympathetic strings: Vacuum process: Edited 7 Years Ago by Joel Illerhag

I think you have a tevo printer ...nice tool .What filament did you use for your core prints?. I printed mine in HIPS in order to dissolve afterwards worked pretty fair . Your final result is awesome .nice job !!! I think 3d printing has a lot of potential on this field ! Cheers from Greece

I would like to know how you dissolved the 3D printed parts after wrapping. Did you use some kind of acid to dissolve the 3d print from the carbonfiber parts? Cheers from Denmark.

HI Joel I printed my core material in HIPS (designed for support material) and then dissolve it using D-limonene . I also experimented with water solvable PVA filament but its very expensive and a bit spongy (its almost flexible).If there is no need for structural integrity you may use ABS and dissolve it with acetone . But i guess acetone is very bad for resin and CF.
