Electric Longboard MarkII

Was legitimately sore after a full day behind a manual mill. Punched holes in all of the battery holders and squared of the edges where the perpendicular grind rails will go.

Also the MDF mold is finished, I just need to but the carbon fiber lamination supplies and get it waxed. 

MarkII is officially in production phase. 

All the mechanical aspects of the board have been (pretty much) finalized, and I am spending my Saturday nights behind a Tormach CNC mill.

I am touching up the MDF mold with a set of chisels, and prepping for the vacuuming procedure.

The issue I am having is that I did not make the truck mounting holes, so the molds are somewhat difficult to align. If I do not figure out how to solve this, It will be back to the CNC wood router for me!

P.S. Waterjet cutters suck.

3$/min runtime and they give you a shit finish. Hence my CNCing.

I decided that the deck is going to be a 8 layer carbon fiber 12X12 weave with a polystyrene foam core.

From to to bottom the layers will be C-C-C-F-C-F-C-F-C-C-C

After spending a few weeks tweaking the final assembly in solidworks and finalizing the deck shape I started making the mold.

With a couple friend at the architecture school and a few sheets of 3/4" MDF laminated a thick mold which was then handed over to the CNC router.

Hopefully by the end of the week I can start on the carbon fiber vaccuming operation.
