a good trick I just learned is to use a palm sander to vibrate your mold to get out air bubbles :)
brilliant
where do you put your mold? above the palm sander or do you vibrate the table with palm sander
Either way. It just needs wiggle to move the air bubbles. Typically (depending on the size of the mold) flicking it works just fine. bigger molds can be upgraded to harder smacks.
Wife's vibratory works as well lol, gentle high speed vibration stimulates the bubbles together & the rise to the top. Easier than a vacuum in a bell jar 😜
Insert sex joke/ play on innuendo here.
Great, succinct and explanatory cold cast tutorial. Nice Job!
I use this as a cheap alternative to having my sculptures cast in bronze. I don’t know why more prop makers and cosplayers don’t use this to achieve a more realistic effect with minimal painting
Mate that's an awesome tutorial! I never knew you could add iron powder to resin casts to get that rust look - added to the to do list for sure. Also very cool to find another Aussie doing this kind of thing - yet to get my hands on an SLA though. :) Sub'd
Oh hey! Not too surprised to see you here, I’ve heard Aussies attract other Aussies. :P
hi
My goodness, man! This was a perfect video. Subject matter, camera work, editing, sound, great results as well! I can't wait to try modelling something!
A small bell vacuum chamber can be made easily with a canning jar (mason jar). This will help get rid of bubbles in your mold making and casting steps.
That was really fantastic Paul. This makes me want to cast and weather all kinds of stuff in metal! Thanks for an easy to follow tutorial.
That is just downright freaking awesome. Love the fine details.
Great video, thanks for the tips - I use Lego to build a reservoir around my pieces when I'm making moulds, never thought of just gluing down cups as reservoirs. Guess my kids can have their bricks back now !
YES THIS WAS INTERESTING. I'm going to make some sick-ass steampunk accessories now.
Kevin Lunt I'ma make a metal Gameboy shell
This is what i have been searching for weeks - Subscribed :)
Really like your work here.. You inspired me to do the same with making my own diecast model car.. ! *but without the rust thing* !
Thank you for sharing, beautiful work!
So many videos show these steps, and skip the details, and materials, it's been a mystery!
great vid good tips with burnishing hope to see more.
well done ozzie
I live in thailand and have great difficulty in getting the necessary supplies but you made that look easy
Hi, I didn't know this technique at all and I find it really brilliant. I'm going to look for some info to see what other possibilities this cold casting technique offers.
That spoon trick is awesome!
Interesting. I was wondering if you could patinate the cold cast metal, and you answered my question. Thank you.
That looks great!
If you like the fact that it's magnetic, you could make the whole thing a magnet by exposing it to a fixed magnetic field while it cures. This could be done with either a permanent magnet or an electromagnet.
so just put a magnet next to the mold while it cures? that's pretty dang cool! gonna have to try that.
putting a magnet next to it while it cures might pull all the iron to one side of the cast, maybe if you do it far enough into the curing it might not wreck the irons distribution through the piece.
This is incredible! I'm doing this once my 3d resin printer arrives.
Wow thanks for sharing the techniques . I didn't know that rusting solution exists at all!
Looks like some sort of mechanical heart. Really cool project
That's a gorgeous piece. Thanks for sharing the process.
you have just earned yourself another subscriber
First time I heard of cold casting. This is awesome!
Wow superb, clean and inspiring video! Thank you!
Wow, I've only just heard of this cold casting. At first I thought the Iron powder is just a colouring pigment of some sorts. That's a really neat trick for model making.
This looks like something I could actually accomplish pretty well. Great video. I look forward to trying this when I have all of the materials/ingredients. Will post a link of my attempt, soon.
Amazing! I never knew this method of creating metallic print. This makes me want to have 3D printer in my home even more.
OMG guys! This looks awesome! Thanks for the video!
Pretty interesting idea. Vacuuming both the silicon mold and the cast before hardening would've helped with removing the bubbles too....
Nice work mate. Thanks for the video Paul. Awesome stuff! Very informative.
Great video. I love this model. Thanks for sharing. PS. If you do a shell model on an SLA printer, you will save resin, but not time. Since the SLA printer makes one full layer at a time, it dosnt matter how much is in each layer. Only factor is the height of the model or models. The print time will be the same even with 30 models on the building plate. AND if you do shell your model, you will need to add a hole to let the resin leave the cavity inside the model. Otherwise the resin will be trapped inside your model.
Pretty nice casting technic, thanks for the tutorial.
This is awesome. Can't wait to give it a try!
Great work! The final process reminds me of painting Warhammer 40k miniatures.
I'll try to remember this technique if and when I finish my T60 Power Armor Helmet 3d printed.
Great Video mate very clear process and explained well.
Woww man, easy, simple and look's great! Nice job
Fantastic tutorial, thank you very much, I have learned a lot here.
i have that same cutting board, those things are awesome!
Wow, that was outstanding!
Truly remarkable. Applause.
Fantastic video. Thanks a million for sharing the knowledge!
Thanks for making this great instructional video about cold-casting from #3dprints . The results are really astonishing!
Great Video!! Is an awesome work!! as a 3D designer I think I just found what I want to do with my pieces!
That's Gorgeous man. Great work! Thanks for the video!
NICE!
Looking forward to getting into 3d printing!
Great result !
That looks so cool
Beautiful work!
Amazing technique
Good job! I didnt know those ferite/resin mixes exist.
Outstanding & very informative video. Thank you!
Thanks for the great videos. Very beautifull & inspiring jobs.
Great vid with fantastic results, thank you!
Hi there - could you also add a BOM to the description too? You do a great job of mentioning each product during the demo, but a BOM would help when I com back to actually try it for myself! :)
Thanks for sharing this process btw - it's really inspiring!
cold casting is also done with ceramic powders in resin.
Amazing video, I have to try this. Thanks!
Absolutely love it! Thanks!
An amazing job, greatly done.
thanks so much Paul. useful!! will share with community
That's pretty wild. You'd never know it wasn't solid metal. I can imagine it's got a fair bit of weight also with all the iron powder?
Incredibly cool
Such a useful tutorial.
Awsome!!
Wonderful. I was looking for an alternative to making a melting furnace and buying a graphite crucible.
So cool! Thanks for sharing.
Cool, I use a similar technique but instead of iron powder I use strontium aluminate glow powder to make GITD items.
That looks stellar. Would the resin be strong enough to make a belt buckle. And hold?
Thanks man. Love the model.
very very convincing! Well done!
wow that looks so cool can you use just abs for the print?
Gorgeous results! Holy cow... so cool. May I suggest wearing gloves when burnishing? steel wool splinters are no fun!
REALLY awesome mate! So, how durable is this material, compared to normal plastic and iron? On a scale in between, where would you place it? And how heavy is this compared to solid iron?
Okay, this is pretty damn awesome. I've got to give this a go some time!
When you mentioned the small voids left in the final part due to the thickness of the resin, I wondered; in this case, with the metal powder in the resin, would passing a magnet around the outside of the mold after pouring perhaps draw the resin to the edges, eliminating surface voids?
***** that's a neat idea! the resin with metal particles is essentially a ferrofluid!
***** possibly, though parts of the mold are quite thick. The resin itself is quite low viscosity, yes, it's the powder that makes it not so.
+Paul Braddock Can you please tell what brand of Iron Powder is used? Which faction, name, labeling? I am very interested in your videos.
A vacuum chamber would be ideal.
Amazing! I mold and cast but never cold cast. How is the weight compared to real metal? Super video!!!
That was really cool!
Helps to prevent air bubbles by 1) pouring from a high point, 2) shaking or banging the mold, 3) applying a bit of heat
Greeeeeat job, great video !! thanx a lot mister artist
This is brilliant!
This is brilliant, im gonna make my own Warhammer dudes!!! ty for tip bruv
That was excellent!
I like the car rust decals you can get.... oh and Rusty Spoooons!😂🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼🍀😎
That was awesome!!
Very informative video. What kind of catalyst did you use and also where would I find it?
How does a cold cast iron piece like this compare to ABS printed part in respect to hardness/toughness? Is it machinable? Can you drill and tap it? Just wondering =). NIce video!
Working with resin is really nice. It is a very hard surface overall, especially infused with Iron. You can tap normal resin so I would assume you could do the same with the cold casted version.
Mold3D TV Just a question, wouldn't it be better to let it sit for 6 hours on something that vibrates so all the bubbles rise? Or would it interfere with the mix solifying?
Solitude the the iron fust would sink to the bottom of the cast too
David Pant This stuff is pretty much like JB weld, anything you can do with it you can do with this. drill, tap, machine, etc. only slight problem can be chips fusing to the tool/bit, but if you take it slow and keep it cool you should be fine.
Solitude I think that a vacuum chamber would probably do better than a shaker table, but i haven't tried it yet...
That ping cylinder with the hole really looks like something else :D
This was a really interesting video man :D thanks for uploading it :P
that was awesome, thanks for the video.
Very cool! Thanks for sharing.
I like the case of your wrist watch, its a Nixon?
will try it soon
Great job !!! Congrats , please what are the specs of your iron mixture ? regular resin and catalyst ?
This will work fantastically for my projects! Thank you so much!
Also, is the final cast feel like iron?
Wow that's pretty epic, subscribing
Very cool... thanks for the trick
Now I have seen everything. There´s someone out there that sells rust in a can.
Great technique. Can other metal powders produce different effects?
Awesome, thanks for sharing!
We've come a long way from the Creeple People casting kit from the 60's!
Cool project 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Is it possible to get a link to the rust designer liquid??
I loved watching the amazing things you can make and achieve for yourself
