The x y axis was superb but twists. I did some off axis layers but not enough. solid now. Also I wasn't sure the original was designed in conjunction with crumple zones

Also to someone mentioned trying out stuff as a newbie. If I had a second start order lots of 300g glass fibre and polyester resin and make things around the home, get the feel of mixes, cure times, wetting out and corner/flat panel strenths. It will help you get the lightest designs, more brackets and shapes.

I wasted 20m of carbon and epoxy to begin with. Finding your own preferences and the best way to achieve what you want and building your confidence
