I just found out that the Phlatprinter 3 can *taper* the edges of the sections -- it is a 3D CNC machine!

That is the clincher! This is the ticket to build a composite sandwich structure! The foam will also provide thermal stability inside of CarBEN EV. It cannot do overhangs (it is a 3-axis CNC), but this will be a big help.

Wow.
