jonathan 4 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 ok if I wanted to build a carbon fibre sphere, say about 800mm diameter, lets say I had a mould (1/2 sphere....) how much would it cost to make each one in materials... doesnt have to take much load, for the inside of a custom globe.... question 2 , what would be best material for the mould???
