Why not do the following: 1. Make a 3D scan of your head using a Revo 3D scanner. 2. 3D print that model in PLA and now you have a life cast of your head. 3. Make. Make a clay sculpt of whatever mask form you want on your life cast and then from there use the classic silicon mask technique you describe to make a rigid 2 part mold and pour a silicon mask from that. Basically you are using 3D printing to easily make a life cast that would otherwise be a very involved process to do.

Thanks a ton man!

good vid Ter hope all is good. i heard some guys poor latex in a silicone mold like in a thin coat but the drying time takes forever, but after that can build the layers...i would be to scared to try incase they stuck. it would be easier and less time consuming than sculpting . i do like the idea of reverse molds tho

Hey man, hope all is good :) I don't think it will work well that way. The reason they use plaster is because the plaster absorbs the moisture from the latex. Silicone is impervious to moisture, so I cam't see that working too well. The latex wouldnt stick to the silicone because nothing sticks to silicone except more silicone. :) If you want to continue to use latex, it would be better to continue to use plaster like hydrocal or ultracal

@@pandapropsncostumes i had the gf cover me in ultracal plaster bandages what a nightmare lol but im building a mannequin of myself to work off. filled it with sika expanding foam and seems to be working pretty good so far, i will finish the legs today. i always enjoyed talking props with you keep up the vids and tutorials T

Have you ever tried pouring monster clay liquid form into pla 3d printed molds to test the print before pouring silicone. Or will the monster clay ruin the pla due to it being hot.

Heated clay is far too hot, it would warp and distort most prints.

@@pandapropsncostumes yea I tested it and not ideal. It not only warps but sticks on pretty well in the indents.

I need a custom mask made of my opponent's face for a fight to practice striking. Please respond if you can help. I will pay for customization and help you sell a ton of customs for other people.

By chance can you do this as a service? I’m in Los Angeles and am used to having epoxy molds for me masks. I’m looking to do half masks. No need for a full positive for my mask. Is this something you can do / service? Love to have contact info

Hi there, I am not based in California. But you should reach out to my friend Frank Ippolito of Thingergy in LA. They are experts in this type of mask making, and he is a master mold maker :)
