Carbon Fiber Charge (CFi?)
on: October 25, 2015, 05:47:50 PM
I haven't built a multi in over 3 years and I finally have an excuse to make one. I recently got into desktop CNC and got the hang of cutting carbon fibre.

Here's she is, full machined and hand finished. The spacers for the blades and back end were machined into place too. Kind of crazy. BO s30v PE, BO gut hook SE, BO file and saw.

That is awesome!!

So do you make custom stuff like an open workshop? Or is it pretty much "assembly line" manafacturing for companies?

So sweet!! The idea of creative freedom (has to be a better term for that) in a workplace is a dream of mine.

Seeing what works, what doesnt, and why, always sparks my interest.

Do you share your other works or designs anywhere else? It'd be something cool to follow on Facebook,  Instagram or Twitter.
