I wanna make a door at xmas

also the dark shading on the mold is furniture finishing wax

N.B after my bumpers experience with a fox I am moving away from mineral fibers (the carbon shattered and the bumper is only held in shape by paint and a layer of glass fibre I put on as a backup). Despite their high uts, flex and elongation still is a problem. Polymers very much interest me now. Polyimide-imide if available as a filament would be very very good. It's mean strenths higher than uhmwpe, which is stronger than para-aramid. Well, it's not available (non woven kapton it's trade name) also I don't have time to test materials in the post so for now the bumper looks like it will be made from glass

**actually I'm going to wait until the test results
