Hi everybody! I’m up to building a fresh new carbon fiber rudder for my racing sailing boat FD. I would like to follow exactly the instructions given in the video by easy composites about the mould making. Unfortunately it is a shame i cannot create an exact shape with foam in a first stage that i can use as a pattern for creating the mould as shown. Also i cannot use the old rudder cause i need to make another shape. I’m owner anyway of a 3d printer with which i can make the pattern, i can print in PETG, ABS and also PLA, but I don’t know if any of these materials will have strange reaction with the components of the products used for the pattern and the mould.
If the answer is yes, how can i solve this problem still using 3d print? Or how do you suggest me casting a perfect symmetrical and wright shape for the rudder with the foam? The rudder will have anyway a foam core so i need to find how to do that In any case, but it is not as important such the external surface of the rudder to be perfectly shaped and symmetrical...
THANKS!
