I have a new full video tutorial coming soon on this channel, trying some new things to make Carbon Fiber hollow tubes
Lost-wax technique:
A model is sculpted in wax → coated in a refractory material to form a mold → wax is melted out → molten material is poured in to replace the wax.
Applying the idea to carbon-fiber hollow tubes:
You can use a sacrificial wax core shaped like the desired tube interior. Wrap carbon-fiber fabric/filament around the wax core with resin, cure it, then melt out the wax to leave a clean, smooth hollow carbon-fiber tube.
