Great work! Have you tried a 2 part mold to cover the back as well? If you put everything together (like you already have) and they have a second part, you can clamp it down with adjustable clamps and really squeeze the resin into not only the back side but the fromt as well which should make the mold process easier for extraction and give a better surface finish. Also, at 21:30 you should really really really be wearing cut proof gloves. Ive had so nasty cuts from kickbacks from using a dremel because i was too lazy to wear gloves and they are not fun. Milwaukee makes a fantastic pair that is pretty cheap at home depot. Again great work!
Some of you may be wondering: Why not put the metal on top or under the carbon fiber? What happens is the metal becomes a diode and the carbon becomes a cathode. Carbon Fiber, when touching steel has a chance to cause galvanic corrosion. This happens when 2 conductive dissimilar metals have contact and also have an electrolyte bridge (Water is a good example). Carbon fiber is included because is has conductivity of metal. One way to mitigate galvanic corrosion is to electrically isolate the material by adding a layer of fiberglass between the carbon fiber and metal. Another way is to paint the carbon fiber to create a non-conductive barrier. The best metal to use in direct contact with carbon fiber would be Titanium due to it's low difference in conductivity. The second best would be Stainless steel. Aluminum would be by far the worst, but ok if you have a fiber glass layer or had painted the carbon fiber.
The printed molds are really interesting i think. hopefully if you have more resin on them, they will last longer than 4-5 casts. a heck of a lot of work if not!
I'm not sure if you're aware of this but while you narrate what you're doing you kind of give an ASMR vibe to the videos, anyway, really helpfull video, thanks.
Off topic: you are the most beautiful youtuber around, and you now how to craft!!!...I definitely would kill for you...with a weapon of your crafting/choice 😙😃😆.
Phenomenal work as usual! And finally an answer to the Lindy/Lindsey thing!
:D
Didn't expected to see you here
@@kingarthur7051 didn't explected to see deathstroke here neither
Thanks from Turkey
So this is the secret girl who makes Batman's armory
Damn that was a good Carbon fiber gauntlet
Try using brad point drill bits for the carbon fiber. Punching could crack the panels and the brad points will hold in the resin well.
Use just polyester primer to coat the mold surface. Also sand the mold surface before priming it.

Again great work!
Impressive skills miss :) Great work ! Thank you for sharing with us ! Oh, and, that is a great project ;)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Can you please link the spread tow carbon fiber you used
Have you tried any dd30 or superfabric?

Could I buy this custom made?? This is incredible work

Where did you buy the carbon fiber I didn't see it in your supply list
Good places in the US are Composite Envisions and ACP Composites. Easy Composites also, but they are in the UK.
Hii have you conducted any stress tests?
You might try using a prick punch to start those holes. Never drilled CF, but having a good dent helps keep the bit from wandering in metal.
I think you're right.
CF is known for brittle failure when shockloads are applied....
good job! looks good!
Your channel helped me get started with carbon fiber, so thank you for all the experience you have shared!
@@LindyDesignLab glad to hear that! You are doing a great job!
How did you get 3d printed mold
Modeled in Fusion 360 and printed on Ultimaker.
why not kevlar instead of leather
Wow well done!! I have a question: it's possible to use two part molding to press the carbon fiber together instead of use vacuum?
I don't know how the results would compare, but I'd guess better than no pressure at all but more issues with bubbles and voids.
Lindy Design Lab yeah ure right..... Bubbles are annoying
The carbon fiber looks so cool. Are you able to paint over or dye it in order to make it red or blue while keeping the pattern?
You can add a tinted clear coat to get that sort of effect.
What wall thickness are you using on the 3D printer molds?
how i comand a whole armour ?
I am ready to move on to Carbon Fiber, but ive just been re-purposing other items
You are such a freaking nerd... and it is awesome. This is so cool, and it looks fantastic.
If it were the 11th century and I wasn't a peasant I would have you as an armorer
Awesome job with that carbon! A drill press works killer for boring those holes, hft has them for cheap
Good idea for next time. Thanks.
Can you show us
How they look on you
I'm not sure if you're aware of this but while you narrate what you're doing you kind of give an ASMR vibe to the videos, anyway, really helpfull video, thanks.
Glad it was helpful.
suit and two cold-blooded murders of mosquitoes -> hello Jane Wick :-) You are going deep into technology. I'm impressed.
The mosquitoes attacked first. It was self defense.
2:0, they are prepared for another attack :-D BTW I want to see whole movie, trailer looks promising ;-)
So make a giant paper mache mosquito boss and hack it to bits with a sword after battling the tiny bloodsuckers, that's going to be a blockbuster?
If mosquitoes aren't bigger part of your audience, it will beat AAA movies for sure :-D
awesomee work!
Very professionist ciao da Milano italia
I wonder how many times she said the word "just"?
You should def use a proper hole punch, or use a nail and a hammer. It'd stop your drill bit skipping about :)
That was amazing work. I feel like the carbon fiber would have been better on brown leather gloves instead of black.
Agreed, the contrast is lacking.
amazing project. i will watch all videos ... sorry for my english :-)
Glad you enjoyed it.
You have all of neceserry tools
Why were you sitting in the Dark?
The way you smack that mosquito :D
So, how many pairs of leather gloves do you get through a week? The world needs to know! :D
Only have two pairs of leather gloves, these and the witch king, but I go through many pairs of nitrile gloves in a week.
I think im in love....
Carbon Fiber doesnt take paint, if im not mistaken
It is reinforced plastic and paints as such.
Ты делаешь очень круто😎🔥✌️
I think im gona be the next batman
dam thats hot she knows this kind of stuff
Agreed
You remind me so much of OA
so, Arkham Knight armor is not getting easier for me
Don’t get that glue in your hair!
İ think, You have must 1billion subscribe
almost
