Curious

1 Upvotes

How do you go about pricing? I’m doing a project for myself, and now that I have the form I thought I could sell some duplicates to make my money back from the project. Issue is it’s a giant 10ft tall light up rainbow…so I can’t really compare similar pricing. Do I just post photos online for preorder?

Self skinning foam skeleton/insert

1 Upvotes

I'm looking into molding some stuff with self skinning foam. Think like armrests for chairs and stuff but I want them to have integral mounting equipment. How would I go about molding something with a skeleton inside it so it's not just a plain old pad. Is there a specific way to do it where the in molded peace won't shred the inside of the foam?

My resin cast inkwell for 5ml sample tubes

Cross posting here to see if anyone has any tips for the process. I had a single bubble cause a chip near the top. The hardener was exposed to sun which caused it to yellow. Not a bad effect for this piece. That bottom (which was cast on top) has a razor’s edge.

How do you keep epoxy resin curing consistently when the temperature drops?

3 Upvotes

I've been looking into how much room temperature affects epoxy resin curing, especially with taller molds or pieces that have different thicknesses.

I know the resin type, mixing ratio, and recommended pour depth all matter, but I'm curious how much of a difference a stable curing environment makes in practice.

For those who make resin pieces regularly, do you just let them cure at room temperature, or do you use a temperature-controlled setup or curing machine?

Have you noticed a real difference in curing time or consistency? I'd be especially interested in hearing what works for taller molds.

Just pulled this test run of a new figure, Still to be named. This guy is made out of components from Halo, Pokémon, Mario, DBZ, Alien, predator, etc. I think I'm gonna call what I've been doing recently figure sampling because I'm taking little snippets and parts of other things and recontextualizing them into something new

Polyurethane resin casting?

Post image
1 Upvotes

I'm looking into duping a part for my gunpla model that I broke. I'm not too sure what I'm looking for exactly but the "smooth on" brand task 4 resin has caught my eye for this. I'm primarily looking for low viscosity and long pot times so that I can vacuum chamber out the air bubbles and still have working time left as well. I currently plan on using "silinot" for the mold. Any suggestions or insights would be very much appreciated!

reusing SLA print supports

1 Upvotes

In my on going quest to make my 3d printing as close to zero waste as I can manage (Motivated more by my wallet) I'm trying to figure out if it is possible to grind up the cured supports from my SLA printer and mix them in with two part epoxy for casting bases for miniatures.

Looking for a durable, weather resistant, resin for outdoor use.

3 Upvotes

I've got a DIY project I'm working on and I could use some advice.

We're repairing the ornamental railing on the outside of my parent's old house right now. That kind of pointless ornamentation some old houses have along the edge of flat portions of the roof. Specifically these are little onion shaped wood topper bulbs screwed into a wood beam that runs along the edge of the roof.

Originally they were wood, but this is in Texas and the weather here has a tendency to just destroy any wood that isn't properly treated. And these delicate little wood onions didn't stand a chance. I'd personally just leave them off or find something similar pre-made in polyurethane or similar, but there's a historic society thing happening here and I have to replace these with identical decorations.

I've done some resin casting in the past, and I got the idea that maybe I can make a mold of these little ornamental things and cast in a extremely durable resin. But I'm not sure what kind of resin would be the best fit for these.

Can anyone recommend a really tough resin that can withstand intense heat and rain? They'd be painted.

Thank you.
