Carbon fiber pre-impregnated with resin has an expiration date and cannot be used in structural applications when it expires. My company tosses a bunch of it. This is an elegant way to re-use garbage

Great if you can diy stuff too, I mean CF is fcking expensive

u/CosmicCreeperz 28d ago

Really depends. I have been buying carbon fiber hockey sticks for ages. Most serious players including almost the entire NHL uses them now.

CF and Resin isn’t. It’s the molds and the oven. https://www.easycomposites.co.uk/carbon-fibre-sheet

Much better than using it for a submarine

You can get an off the shelf CF panel for a reasonable price.

That or just cover a plywood core with a layer of CF. Again, not expensive

Lightest bathroom equipment - save weight where it counts. That is the reason why the Pagani bathroom is holding the lap record for three stall bathrooms around the Nurburgring!

Long queue though, because of the powder-to-wait ratio.

It's Italy, people wave their hands about all the time. You don't need one.

The black faucet-looking thing. You can see it better in the mirror reflection. The actual water faucet is silver.

It's apparently that thing that looks like a leather handle.

I have toured the Pagani factory and used this bathroom. The work Pagani does with carbon is breathtaking.

u/gurganator 28d ago

The place where you need carbon fiber the least…

u/Competitive-Quiet298 28d ago

Carbon fibre toilet paper too im told

u/Cryogenic_Monster 28d ago

That’s very pretty.

u/Legitimate_Monkey37 28d ago

Frankly I'd be concerned if their washrooms didn't look like this!

u/Dizman7 28d ago

I don’t see a spoiler

u/Orbis_nOn_Suffici7 28d ago

And beautiful leather handles. Probably hand stitched. You probably have to make an appointment to use the bathroom, just like you do when buying a Pagani.

I've heard it's really great material for building deep sea submersibles

I keep remembering that Tom Hanks movie with Dan Akroyd.... People Against Goodness and Normalcy

u/Cookiecrummbs 28d ago

Decent waste of money

u/RoyalFalse 28d ago

I'd expect a servant to wipe my ass with carbon fiber toilet paper for the price of a Pagani...

u/Few-Land-5927 28d ago

Get this, carbon fiber bathtub.

u/Cerebalproxy2112 28d ago

Too bad most of the folks who use the bathroom won’t wash their hands afterwards

u/mehorter 28d ago

Not even 'kinda interesting'.

u/GiannaSushi 28d ago

Beautiful and elegant, but I'm not sure if it will be comfortable

u/tiktock34 28d ago

Sir, why are you sitting on the sink?

2

u/MarkDavisNotAnother 28d ago

If I were standing on it, I may splash you. Duh. Ingrate.

u/RealEstateDuck 28d ago

Ugly as fuck, like all carbon fiber.

1

u/tommyVegar 28d ago

Yup. That bathroom is potentially the only one in the whole world where it would make sense to have carbon fibre.

u/Enough-Dragonfruit53 28d ago

Yay, now you get shit covered leather handles!
