Gotta keep in mind, the enclosure is fucking gigantic. And itās just a completely flat pan, no contours or details to help with rigidity.
Could you get away with 4-6 layers of cloth? Yeah probably if you donāt mind it flaccid.
Would it be better with more? Abso-fuckin-lutely IMO.
The enclosure was designed as a structural element, it will be interesting indeed to see how the new deck layup and enclosure layup interact. There may even be a bit of flex! Although in my testing, the flex in the deck isnāt a pleasing āacross the boardā type of flex, itās a dull, concentrated to one spot type of flex.
My layups of both deck and enclosure were overengineered IMO, I am very curious to see how a much lighter system comes together.
Maybe the way we do it different I cut the layers in large areas that overlap and interlock each other giving it a bit more strength across. I want to try that vac infusion way you were doing it though.
Very easy to keep adding weave layers - especially if it helps to reduce the flex in the deck without skinning it.
Iāve got a set of newbee 3 links on their way so Iāll set up a rolling chassis when itās gone and test it out. Iāll probably build it out for myself as a test board first . And then make adjustments if needed for the next one.
