Hi Everyone!

I am just about to  start my first resin infusion project but come up with some question I need to get answer before.

The project is just  a carbon fibre cylinder 110cm long by 15cm width by 1cm thick

How many layers of carbon do I need and how many slow infusion resin would I need?


Which would be the best and cheapest  way to get that thickness?Using x2 lantor soric between two layers of carbon on each side? In this case how to calculate the amount of resin do I need?

The aim is to get a part as cheap , light and strong as possible.

Than k you very much in advance for all your answer.

best regards

110x15cm Sounds more like an octoban than a snare.
I my opinion, you do not take the most important factor into consideration. The sound. The lightest snare would have the greatest "attack, for sure, but dampening and self resonances will be important even more. For example a monolithic carbon ply would produce a metal like sound, where a soric sandwich tends to be much "woodier". A honeycomb sandwich (a really light one" has sort of a corrugated cardboard sound, wich might not be that pleasant for a snare
