Thanks to everyone who replied.

After being cured, the laminate is then pyrolized to convert the resin to
carbon.

I think up to this point it's realistic to carry out oneself. Pyrolysis under vacuum would be hard, but in an e. g. Argon atmosphere it should be doable.

This is where it gets beyond what I consider realistic.

Of course a graphite nozzle is the easy way out.
