Hi,
I thought I will share my project.
I had a hard time finding tutorials and people who   wrapped  carbonfiber around a 3d printed part. It works great to wrap a 3d print and then vacuum bag it.
Please contact me if you need some advices.

Ha that's almost what i wanted to achieve .So cool to find someone else who had the same idea . 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 Smile

I used carbon filament that is a mixture of 90 % PLA and 10% carbon.
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?

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.
