Your question is a little vague..
Carbon Fiber as in relating to what? I'll assume HPA tanks. But even with that assumption its still a really vague question. What specifically do you want to know? To pass on everything I know about Carbon Fiber HPA tanks would take pages of typing, something I am not willing to do. |

Key to Carbon Fiber is how strong, yet light it is.. I chose it over Aluminum\Steel on my Nitro R\C cars for that exact reason\fact.

To make carbon fiber, you will need ALOT of money, and you cant do it in your basement either. Just buy a mag, put a carbon fiber forgrip on it, Carbon tank, and St!ffi |

Here's an idea, go to this site: www.google.com and type in CARBON FIBER. You will get more than enough information to satiate your hunger for that topic.

As was suggested, Google it! I am involved in amateur built aircraft. Carbon fiber is not for basement fabrication projects. Carbon fiber, while strong and light, it is used primarily because it is stiff. Also, extreme care must be taken when handling it because of the release of sharp fibers. Rather than just the itchy skin one gets from fiberglass, carbon fiber filaments can enter the skin or lungs tissues or eyes and will continue to migrate into the body causing, in some cases, serious damage.
Not intending to scare you off, but it takes a significant amount of training or intense research and self teaching to successfully fabricate with carbon fiber.
Carbon fiber is available from many of the companies that cater to the homebuilt aircraft crowd...such as Aircraft Spruce Company. It is available in woven fabric, in parallel strand fabric, and in what is called "pre-preg" sheets. Pre-preg means it is pre-impregnated with "epoxy" resin. In this form it is used for wing and fuselage skins...places where it does not have to be bent sharply.
Carbon fiber is added in amateur built aircraft usually to add stiffness and strength to wings and highly loaded landing gear. Use in paintball barrels, like the Stiffi barrel, is more a gimmick than anything else. Fabrication with carbon fiber is really producing plastic parts that are reinforced with carbon fiber. While it looks cool, and the bore is molded and polished well, so it produces very good accuracy, it could be just as easily duplicated with fiberglass or Kevlar (another gimmick) or no reinforcement at all with the correct choice of the plastic formula.

In this age of information, it is funny how you still need to spoonfeed some people. |

Ya fiberglass slivers suk they hurt so bad... but in the stiffi barrel they use it for weight reduction.. just like the deadlywind foregrip... i have that foregrip its solid as a rock and weighs nothing.. It will add strength like bruce said with little weight added on |

sorry for even considering asking people... gah im soo dumb. i never should have considered asking people in a forum a viable question... why ask anything in forums cause you know somewhere in the 45,000 links google pulls up the answer has to be in one of them. sorry but you cant snap and find the info, i looked and didnt find anything but clutter.. so thats why i asked. hope it didnt put you out too much reading this |

Sarcasm is very unbecoming... With just a teeny-tiny bit of thought processing, the conclusion that carbon fiber is NOT easy to manufacture would be reached. What makes you think we know it all? |

If you thought that my first remarks were rude or uncalled for then you might not like this one. If you want to learn it all, you need to go to school for a Plastics (or Composites) Engineering Technology degree or other equivalent. You will not learn how to use carbon fiber or related materials from links to websites. You need a college education. Sorry if I burst your tender bubble.

We do know it all For AdamA to be sarcastic and make such a stupid statement that all he could find is clutter is is worthy of much more sarcasm than he received from DeTrevni. AdamA, you are on a paintball forum. You got the advise as to a proper process to obtain the in-depth knowledge you said you desired. Did you expect to be taught what you needed to know right here in the forum? If you could get over your desire to be spoon fed and spent 20 minutes on Google you would have found, as I did, several organizations offering courses in carbon fiber fabrication. It would strengthen your case for sincere help in the future to learn to spell, ask concise questions and pay attention to grammar. I know you weren't spoon fed that in school so it has no value as you see it. Knowing web-speak and knowing that "teh" translates to "the" doesn't make you cool. It exposes how inappropriately asinine you can be. You have achieved status on the list of members here to whom many knowledgeable participants will no longer respond. Bye! |
