I am pre-planning my infusion project and I am on the fence as to how to lay out my spiral tube for both the resin and vacuum lines. There is a lot going on with this mold so I want to be sure that the part wets out properly. I have made a few diagrams to share my thoughts and see if anyone else has an opinion.
Legend:
Green Line = Resin Spiral
Blue Line = Vacuum Spiral
Red Dot / Green Line = Resin Feed
Red Dot / Blue Line = Vacuum Feed
Plan A: Pull from one side to the other
[/URL
]
Plan B: Pull vacuum from the center line of the part and run the resin along the perimeter
[/URL
]
Does anyone have a take on which would work best or is there a better way about it?
