@@EvanAndKatelyn For something small like this you don't need a vacuum pump and vacuum chamber. You can use a paint pressure pot to compress the bubbles to get a perfectly bubble free mold. The draw back is that the size of the mold has to fit into the pressure pot. Also hot glue and foam core can get you a mold like this in less time. Brick in the yard is actually a great youtube resource. I've made a few molds in my pressure pot, and it's good enough to cast resin in without any bubbles or jagged bumps.

amazing as always! If you don't plan to keep using the molds, it would be an interesting experiment to see if you could cast other materials like resin/etc, and how they handle the geometry of that mold.

@EvanAndKatelyn

6 жыл бұрын

Ooooh yeah that would be fun!! We'll definitely keep the molds around and maybe one day if we have some extra material from another project we can toss it in :D

I ran out of recent episodes so I'm now watching old ones. I'm amazed at how much their workshop has improved. I also noticed that the old videos are more KZread-y, with lots of background music and stylized shots, like a Tasty video except for crafts. For some reason the newer videos that have less music and simpler shots feel more organic and thus more enjoyable to watch.

They turned out great. I love the video and the fact you show that everything doesn't go smoothly all the time and even mention its sometimes good to step away from a project to give your time to solve any issues. I find, as I am just starting out, that it helps a lot. I sometimes feel like I am procrastinating until later on when I have a lightbulb moment. Better than getting frustrated and throwing a project across the workshop. Anyway great video!

Quick tip from an engineering student who has worked with sla printers: While curing your parts in uv does make them more rigid, it also makes them more brittle. Meaning that for uses like this, it might be worth it to leave the material uncured because it will be more malleable (spelled that wrong probably, engineering, not English) and won't break as easy. I love y'alls channel!

For the center part, leaving a little hole for air to escape and "squish" it into the latex would have worked too. As for the outer part, maybe make it into 2 parts taped together to make it easier to unmold ? The outer part doesn't need to be perfect as it won't be used to shape the final product anyway.
