Did my first real wind yesterday! Surface is just a little lumpy, the tow is not perfectly even coming out of the spool.
The tube here is for a 38mm motor mount and is 3 layers thick. My mandrel was a 1.5" aluminum tube and the OD is measuring 1.558"-1.569". The wind was finished with a 50% overlap of Dunstone shrink tape. I have to sand off the excess resin on the surface yet, but I'm very happy with the result and ease of the wind.
Tensioning out of the center pull spool still needs some work and I could use a length of filament calculation to estimate resin usage.
Next up is a 29mm motor mount and some 5/8" guide tubes for a 2-stage!
