Its controlled with arduino uno and cnc shield with a4899 drivers through G-code sender.
The way it works, carbon fiber tow ( 12K ) passes through epoxy "bath" whole part is moving up and down, then is winded on steel rail tube which is rotating, usually do 4 passes and after that filament is pressed with clear tape to compress it for better adhesion then curing 12-24h and its ready for cutting and other finishing process.
Main purpose is to make carbon fiber tube for office supplies( fountain and mechanical pen ) and maybe few drone frames etc.
