Hi all I've recently become interested In learning to make carbon fibre parts having seen many tutorials and finished products. I'm totally new to this and hope you will be able to give me some advice.

I have posted a topic in the mould making forum however no one has been able to help.

I've purchased the mould making kit and laminating kit to get started. Could anyone give me some idea of other parts to carbon fibre that are easier than an iPhone? 

Thanks in advance

I hadn't considered that, thanks for the advice @Dravis

As I've already purchased the starter pack and mould kit I dont want to buy any additional CF at this stage, just incase things dont work out.

After some consideration I'm going to scrap the idea of a phone case until I know what I'm up against and working out the best way to reproduce it.

As my main interest is the automotive industry I think trying a small car part may be much easier..

I will have a butchers what I can find, post a picture and get some opinions on how to best replicate it in CF before I make a move.
