I have an idea to make a component out of carbon fiber and in the past i would have carved up some foam for a core and overlaid epoxy and glass or carbon fiber.

Now that I have a 3D printer, I am considering printing the core and overlay with cloth and epoxy.

When searching the forum, I found only references to using 3D printing for a mold.  Maybe I did not search correctly.  Has there been anyone with experience doing this?  The core would be in several pieces and bonded together.  Preferably PLA and West System epoxy.

Thanks for the Easy Composites YT videos.  Looks like a lot of information I need to assimilate.  thanks
