Can someone show off ther carbon joints? Box weave, twill ect.
Just needing somthing to go by. Im going to be starting some soon.
Cheers
Black is Checkerboard Plain Weave
White bar is plain weave with 3D woven preform.
White dome is 45 biaxial sock
Yellowish is Unidirectional.
What is a carbon join anyway?
im only guessing here, but i think whale is asking for photos of joints in final parts when the part was made out of 2 parts or more.
Such as a motorcycle tail fairing - left and right halves made separately and then joined once trimmed etc.
using different weaves?
eh, I guess that makes sense too.
That however, I do not have :-/
when I first saw this site a year ago there was a hood on here that had plain weave carbon and kevlar joined together in a vent. I can’t find where it is at
Is this what you are looking for?

Can’t believe I’m contributing when I can’t even figure out how to go about making a part.
like this?
I like the weave/material of that last part. Anyone know where i can buy that cloth? It looks like mostly carbon with about 20% kevlar.
I think I remember what picture you are talking about. it was maybe an intercooler vent on the top of a hood, where the hood was CF, and the vent slates were cf/kevlar?
No idea what thread that was. I remember the discussion on how to get a seam though.
it was a E46 m3 that the pictures were on, a white one. I cant remeber the company that made the hood. I have seen it in real life as well. it was very well put together
