Hello,
I am working with resin infusion using this 3d print as a mould on a glass surface
This side looks fine:
My goal is to have a flat surface with a cavity but my 3D print is trapped within resin in the carbon fabric and I can't remove it. See below:
Any ideas how to avoid this or how to proceed? Possibly how to make the 3D print and the glass as ''one'' body before the infusion? Thank you

assuming you have put enough mould release on the 3D printed part can you not put a screw into the part and give it some welly? Also a thin blade/wedge between the part and the fibre should help...

thanks for the response! I just tried with a screw, unfortunately the 3D print is trapped with a good amount of resin between its surface and the carbon fibre.

I am considering 3D printing the negative of the whole shape I would like to get as one body, something like this above. Would that work? If yes, do I need to put the inlet and outlet hoses on the 3d...
