This is really freaking cool. Didn't expect the end product to look this freaking good.

I've sat through so many videos that tried to achieve this. This is the first one I've seen that was actually explained well and didnt require a stupid number of complex steps. Well done

Bruh I thought this was gonna be easy.. he went tf in 😂😂😂

My dreamed tutorial. Thank you so much for this!

they look so good!

+1 for the smart method of spraying black paint and then wiping out the surface with alcohol!

The ring turned out amazing! I actually worked for a person doing finishing work on pewter medallions for a local marathon the past couple of years, and one of the chemicals we use is "pewter black" from Jax Chemicals. It oxidizes the surface of the pewter then can be buffed off to give a similar effect to the spray paint. The finish from pewter black may be more chemical resistant than the spray paint, and a 2 oz bottle would be plenty to brush into the details. Edit: As I'm reading their page it says it also works on brass and bronze, so maybe it would work on cold cast props?

... Oh!!! may have found next years wedding anniversary present for my hubby.... Thank you for all the awesome tutorials!

Thanks for sending this out!

Watching your trials with casting was a super fun and educational experience :)

This is awesome guys!!! Great work again!!!

Very nice and interesting video. I learned a lot of new things from this tutorial. Love this video. Thank you.

Nice ring

Fantastic tutorial - Thank you!!!

Beautiful work!!

whattt.. this is the perfect video. i was thinking that I needed to buy a whole lotta stuff for lost wax casting-

This looks so good!!!!

Come on Bill, just cast your ring in wax, make a plastermold with the wax model in it, burn out the wax, then use a mapp burner to cast the ring in silver. Only a few steps more. I know you can do it, Bill! Good luck.

Nice MIIB reference at the start XD

This is fun and cool

That is awesome. I had this wonderful pewter dragon's claw when I was in high school. It was holding a round sparkly glass marble in purple. I sculpt now and my mind started churning with the possibilities of making molds of some of my creations to cast them in pewter. :D - Heidi

It was wonderful wasn't it? I lost almost all my 'things' from high school and before sadly. I think of some of them now and then. That pendant is one of them. I wish I didn't know how people feel who lose everything to a disaster (fire, hurricane, flood etc.) but I do. On the plus side it makes me be more genuinely empathetic. :)

Hellooo..I must admit you have done an amazing job...This makes me curious to know how much time it took you to get this end product..

I was wondering if you could make a tutorial about the different use for the dremel in 3d printed parts, how does each bit affect the piece and that kind of stuff.

That is cool. Can that mold take any other metals well, like possibly Silver?

I'd like to find out how to make a mount for gems!

I've been dying to do exactly this with some Threepio parts. want to do aluminum so it'll be a few more steps. I'm going to sneak in and use that printer went you're not looking. ;)

This is incredible!!!!! I have a jewelry design but i need help making it...could you help me??

Deadly! Do the 'Halo' ring ☺

you could pour wax into your silicone and create a higher temp mold from that a la Grant Thompson if you want a more durable ring

Are you planning on using a stronger metal? like an iron or aluminum? I've seen sand as a type of mold

Pretty cool stuff! I was wondering is there an app or software to convert a ring image to 3D file?

You could sell these on Etsy, they look awesome!

to get better detail reproduction, add around 2% of bismuth to your pewter (assuming it doesn't already contain some). it expands while cooling allowing the pewter/tin to fill out the mold better. to get a harder alloy, you could add some copper to it. up to 10 percent should be possible without raising the melting temperature too much for the silicone. another option is zinc. higher melting temp, but can still be done with a torch and the silicone should still be able to handle it. oh and diluted nitric acid instantly blackens tin if you don't want to use spray paint for some reason.

Do you think it is possible to create a 3D designed Cuban Chain and print it from form 2 wax resign and cast it right away?

i've got a cosplay problem. Where do you store your finished projects? I've been cosplaying long enough now that I'm having storage issues, since I can't just throw something like that away

Try using casting sand so you can make it in a stronger metal but I don’t know if it will get all the detail cause I’ve never cared anything

hey, I recently bought a Batman glove made out of latex by Rubies. it only comes in one size and it's too big. is there a way to shrink latex to your body?

Pewter isn't really a skin-contact safe metal. The cheapest (or old) pewter has lead in it. you should try pouring wax in your silicone mould and then casting in gold or silver.

All pewter is, is a tin alloy. The tin content can be up to 99%. The additives are often antimony etc, no need to use lead. You are talking about only one of a great many alloys and additives.

That looks great. I was wondering if you might try castign the ring in Plaster. I personally would want to try and make the ring from Scrap gold, which I am sure is too hot for the Silicone mold. Though I could use your method and remake the Warhammer 40K figures that are now made of plastic and cast them in Pewter like they are meant to be.

If you want to go the cheap way, use wax. Make your ring out of wax and cast it like in the video. The Form 2 cost 4000$ is way too expensive if you're not made of money. A cheaper, PLA printer could do the trick but you will need to work a lot to have a good result. If you only want to make jewelry, stick to the traditional method and go for the Wax.

Could you use the Ultimaker for a Lost Wax casting mold? A little plaster and a quick and dirty little crucible could cast those things in Silver or Gold. Would love to see you do something along those lines. Had some fun in the past myself and it's really rewarding to cast in precious metals.

Punished Props Aluminum is supposedly extremely toxic when casting/melting so take the proper steps. The being said, I'm certain you can work up some awesome things. I'd like to see you possibly incorporate cast metal components in your high end builds. Something small but prominent that can show off a huge diversity in materials and construction techniques.

True?

Pewter is a very soft material and gets damaged when using tools... so is gold and silver, iit looks amazing and using any fancier metal will only increase the price, not the durability or the hardness of it

The hardness of Tin (Pewder is made with 90/99% of tin) is 1.5 in the Moth Scale, Silver and Gold have an hardness of 2.5/3. The silver and gold used in jewelry are in fact an alloys who make the metal way more durable. Sterling silver, used in jewelry is 92.5% silver, the rest is most likely copper. 18k gold is most likely 75% gold 15% copper and 10% silver. I don't have the hardness of these alloys but it make the jewelry a lot stronger. I can see scratches on my ring but it's nothing too big, I'm pretty sure i could polish them off. I you can have silver for cheap go for it, even if you don't use it, you can resell it easily !

Probably could have skipped the silicone step. I would be interested to see what would happen if you took just the 3D print and bury it in very fine sand then pour the molten metal in it. It should melt the plastic ring replacing it with metal

@punishedprops

I've heard of people doing that with PLA plastic and aluminum. I have no idea if this resin off the Form 2 would vaporize. Also I don't think the pewter gets hot enough to get the job done. Soooooo if it was a PLA print and you were casting in aluminum, that would probably work. The benefit of making the silicone mold is the repeatability with a low melt metal like pewter.
