In this video we demonstrate a simple method to make carbon fiber tube connectors.

We put a lot of effort into developing a method to structurally join carbon fiber tubes. There were a number of different materials and manufacturing methods we tried. One method we experimented with was simple and could easily be replicated for hobby projects so we decided to share it to help others. Hopefully the techniques and ideas we demonstrate in this video provide some inspiration for making even better tube connectors on your own projects!
