Melting Filament into Silicone Molds!
Added 2022-12-12 20:34:24 +0000 UTCIn the middle of a fun project that I should have put in the next few days!
Iβve seen a bunch of peeps on tiktok melting down filament scraps into a skull mold off Amazon
So I grabbed one along with a few other molds and testing it all out.
Also wrapping up a print of my own 3D Printable mold box that I will attempting to pour some silicone in later this evening π€

2022-12-13 01:08:50 +0000 UTCI've been wanting to learn how to take 3d prints and cast them into metal and resin. Especially resin since I do a lot of customized computers

2022-12-13 00:48:59 +0000 UTCYeah! Same I really want to go deep into it next year and start making some complex molds/casts. But love the idea of printing a mold box that I can use over and over again

2022-12-13 00:48:29 +0000 UTCInteresting... Not that I doubt your skills in making molds, but if you ever need to chat about them (printing or casting) I'm more than happy to chat. I work for a animation company that prints molds and some of things I've learned might be of use to you too?

2022-12-12 23:05:56 +0000 UTCCan't wait! I've been wanting to do molds of prints for a long time. So that I could have copies and make them out of other materials.

2022-12-12 20:37:56 +0000 UTCIs the mold printed in PLA or resin? Would the silicone leak if it's Pla?
