Glad to be here!
I have started working with composites just recently and looking to add it to my Industrial Design Portfolio.

I have one question to start off with. What is the best material to use as a plug to laminate a simple carbon fibre plate through vacuum infusion? I have tried acrylic and aluminum. However, it never comes out with a clear and clean look.

I would appreciate any suggestions.

Thank you

I am currently making a carbon fibre case for my AirPods and I noticed that the best way to laminate the bottom part of the case (Bigger Side) is to make two separate molds and then glue them together so there is no carbon fibre distortion.

Does anybody have any tips on how to put two carbon fibre parts together while making It look 'natural'?

Or if anyone has done a carbon fibre AirPods case before and could point out some tips I would be extremely grateful.

Thanks in advance!
