Het zou zo licht mogelijk moeten zijn om zo een hoger rendement + hogere frequenties aan te kunnen. Te veel flex is ook niet goed geeft distortion door breakup. Zal het eens proberen nu ik weet dat het toch vrij dun kan met vacuum resin infusion. Mvg, Jef

But due to it's shape it can get quit strong for it's thickness. -It would be possible to make a cone shape with one sheet of carbon (easier to get 3D shapes with twill weave) you'll get a little distortion on the lines but thats what gives it charmes to a CF part?!

It must be light as possible but with a good strength. I have bought a prefab. model to observe and that is made of 1 layer carbon fiber (very thin and strong but not smooth on surface you feel the fibers). (maybe made of pre. prep carbonsheet ?) I prefer to make it with vacuum infusion because pre. prep is difficult to keep on stock. But is vacuum infusion more heavy as pre. prep? What is the minimum thickness? Would it make a significant difference? The cone itself is at 35-40degrees angle. Is it possible to make it at home without folding or getting lines in the carbon fiber? Thanks for your time.
