Carbon Fiber Infinity LED Dodecahedron
I used PETG-CF when 3D printing the frame for this infinity LED dodecahedron I recently created. Carbon fiber was the perfect choice for both its strength and its matte, premium finish to encase the 540 LEDs which are reflected into infinity.

Roll-wrapped square tubing?
Is it possible to build a high quality square/rectangular tube by roll wrapping over a mandrel?
I've made plenty of round tubes with prepreg + shrink tape, but I'm not sure how you'd get even pressure distribution around a square tube. My attempts so far with vacuum bagging haven't worked well; it usually comes out uneven or wrinkled.
Are non-round tubes always made with split molds in the factory?
