That's known as Corrugated Cardboard in the trade.
Reinforced with 1 or 2 oz. fiberglass 6 sides, that's really stiff, light material that can easily work for a nice electrical board.

gotcha.

i remembered building adult sized chairs in 8th grade using masking tape and 2-ply monitor boxes for a shop class... i figured if one could make a reliable chair from it, then one could make electronic boards and perhaps other items from it.

Re: Honeycomb Composites?

For an elec board, what about "Electrical-Grade Fiberglass (GPO3)" off mcmasters? Like 8549K74, the stuff seems pretty cheap.

I would reccomend 1/16" G-10/FR4 garolite instead. 85345K651

CRAZY strong stuff, really easy to work with as well.

We've used them on west coast drives with no internal crossmembers as the rigid bellypan.

Re: Honeycomb Composites?

last year my team used a quarter inch thick honeycomb fiberglass board for our belly-pan electronics board. velcro tape didn't stick to it and you have to put washers on sides that a bolt head or nut would normally touch because you would be able to pull them through. other than that it was great cause it was light and durable
