Hey everyone!
I made the Ducati Panigale 1199 splash guard out of prepreg carbon fiber from start to finish.
With this technique you can make most parts.
Thanks for watching!

Carbon frame? Like a cover for the frame or the actual structure of the bike out of carbon?

is it one layer or two layers of gel coat ? also i am assuming you post cure the mold before use ? So you debulk all the time, that might be the secret for the pin hole free finish :D got you !"

@@zrcarbon9937 hi there, first off congratulations, great results! I as many others am interested in the curing oven. Have already built an insulated wooden box with rockwool panels and aluminium wrapping. As for the PID controller, I’ve looked around and found what you have on your eBay link, but was wondering whether these can actually ramp heat? It seems they just maintain a set temperature, so do how do you ramp the heating for postcuring the EL160? I’m guessing you just keep the heating at a certain temperature for the required time, then increase manually to the next temperature? Not ideal as you’ve got to go back to the workshop every two hours or so (if I remember correctly the EL160 needs the temperature to be raised every two hours right)? Oh it’d be nice to just buy the Easycomposite curing oven eh? At 3000€ it’s just out of my budget :-(
