this turned out amazing!! Zane is a really fantastic artist and to see his model transform into your metal casting was out of this world. every time i look at this metal sculpture and the previous ones, i wonder if people years from now finding and studying it like those sci-fi movies haha.
Every new design and mold created is more captivating than the last. I'm so glad I subscribed early when I did, this gives me hope for getting back into smelting again. Much love from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Wow, excellent result! By the way, thanks for telling us the temperatures and weights both in F/C and lbs/kg, much appreciated by all of us outside the US, doing so is something a lot of youtubers based in the US forget to do :)
A simple way to tell how much metal you need is probably filling the cast up with water weighing said water and converting the weight / density into whatever metal your using
Amazing work! Have you considered trying to print an internal shell that is filled with casting sand and plaster to achieve a thin wall of bronze. Similar to lost wax casting of sculptures. This would use much less bronze.
Seems like when you coat the print with wax it doesn't crack during burn out. It might be the wax melting first and giving the PLA some space to expand and cot crack the coating.
Awesome work as usual. I use plaster instead of ceramic for the mold and it works for me. Would you recommend plaster if artists can't get access to the ceramic?
You have just won a huge compliment for all your work ... especially because the litmus finish is excellent !!!! I stand up and applaud you ... congratulations!!!👏👏👏👏
Maybe you could use ABS filament, lightly spray with acetone to smooth the print lines, cast the mold, then use more acetone to dissolve the filament completely.
Im pretty confident that an archeologist will find these castings in like 500 years and be like "yeap, we found them boiz, the lost Aztec Gods, here they are!"
The patina really turned out great! Awesome job! I am really hoping to see more of your projects and I am hoping you'd make a championship belt plate, more specifically the "Big Gold" world heavyweight championship 'coz I've always wondered how belt makers cast bronze or brass in such a huge size. Hope you'll notice 😁
I was always curious... how do you clean the crucible to make sure there is no metal left in it that would mess up the composition of the metal you want to melt next?
Great work! Usually fine sand is used for a first layer and coarser sand for the rest. You may also consider building a "sand boiling bath" for even coating. This is what used in industry.
Its amazing the type of "rabbit holes" one goes down in order to find stuff like this...I never knew I had an interest in casting metal objects until now lol. Great work man, keep it up. Also...have you ever considered selling these statues?
Wish I could buy one from ya ! Looks great , only thing I would work on would be vapor smoothing your prints before casting to eliminate layer lines and get an even better finish ! Absolutely amazing though , might try this down the road !
Might be a stupid question but why didn't you add vents? I thought they were an absolute must to ensure complete filling of the mold and avoiding bubbles
I think it may be a good idea to get a threaded rod (printed, wood, metal, doesn't matter) that threads into the sprue (print threads into the sprue hole). Then you can have an easily removed handle for dipping while avoiding having to burn out the wooden handle each time.
This process would be a great way to manufacture metal parts? I bought a foundry for this purpose. I hope it works out. That slurry looks complicated and expensive to use. Ill probably start with plaster
Your casts look amazing, one small problem that ive noticed is that you can see the layers from the print. Maybe with a DLP printer you could get even better results?
Where do you buy your supplies and kit from? Both the suspendaslurry, kaeowool, protection gear and so on. Amazingly inspirational stuff this, and you make it look sooooo easy! :D
Hello, you should not print directly on the heatbed on your Prusa Printer, there is Sheetbed made by prusa to be the printing surface. mutch better IMO for the durability on your printers. Otherwise, love the rest of your video, very creative
Why do the lost PLA method over making a mold out of petrobond sand like you've done in other videos. Im starting to get into this hobby and your channel is the best for learning this stuff :)
Definitely A+, although I wish you’d left it shiny. I am wondering whether quenching a bit after the pour would help with cleanup by cracking up the coating would work with this or whether it would warp some things?
@@cap5856 i was thinking about turning the sand cast upside down and heating it maybe in the oven at 250 and letting the Plastic drip out of the pouring channels . Do you think my idea is possible?
Thanks for these awesome videos! These are always really great to watch. Could I ask you, is there a limit to how thick you can cast something? I am really impressed that you were able to pull this one off without getting any shrinkage or pitting. I did not know this was possible at that size. Do you have some method for this other than adding a really big sprue? Do you cast the metal at a lower temperature or something?

What the?! Nice colors
All I can say is, Wow! 👍

The end result is breathtaking...
I've been 3d-printing for 3 years now, and I can only hope to have the possibility to do this soon.

Cool !!!
Thanks!
Covering ceramic with wire was a good intervention 👍
Awesome video, loved the bust's finish. You are very skilled.
Thank you very much!

This bust needed some jewel eyes as well 👁👁
Nice cromatic finish (y)
Not a fan of the models, but the skill of the artist and your work bringing them to life! Amazing!
That's an amazing job dude.. just outstanding
Thank you!

Really stunning results, I can't believe how much detail you manage to capture.

That patina is excellent
This way of casting is incredible
Beutiful work with the heat!!!
Thank you!
Mesmerized from start to finish.

Thanks for showing us and making a nice video! :)
I was always curious... how do you clean the crucible to make sure there is no metal left in it that would mess up the composition of the metal you want to melt next?
Best channel ever...
I love this piece
You should try a sea salt and ammonia force patina. Awesome work though!
Thank you! I'm definitely going to try that soon.
The patina on the bust was amazing!!! Living your bust work keep it up...
Thank you very much!
What a stunning design 👌✨ and you complimented it extremely well👍
Have you ever tried using an induction heater to melt your metal?
P.S. The colors look lovely
Great work! Usually fine sand is used for a first layer and coarser sand for the rest. You may also consider building a "sand boiling bath" for even coating. This is what used in industry.
you did it perfectly
very nice! I musta missed this one!
Respect ❣
Investment casting (lost wax or lost PLA) produce some amazing results. Great job!
It’s really is amazing! Thank you!
Its amazing the type of "rabbit holes" one goes down in order to find stuff like this...I never knew I had an interest in casting metal objects until now lol. Great work man, keep it up. Also...have you ever considered selling these statues?
Beautiful
soo good man! that sand blasting is great. i might need to get one
Thank you! When you need them they're great tools. Just a pain to store.
Контент максимально охуенный, интересно, почему так мало подписчиков и просмотров 🤷🏼♂️
Please continue your work! Good luck and thank you! 🔥🔥🔥
Wow nice patina. I like how you’re trying new finishes. This one may be my favorite.
Perfect like it is but maybe even more perfect if you were to apply gemstone eyes like the other one too.
Very cool!!
you my good sir are awesome
Nice job!
Da hell dude!
Those pieces are amazing!!!!!!!!!
Big WOW. Good job. THX for sharing.
...those... are bad ass!!!!!
Wow 👏👏👏
Use fiberglass cloth between the ceramic shell layers, it wont crack anymore
my master
Wish I could buy one from ya ! Looks great , only thing I would work on would be vapor smoothing your prints before casting to eliminate layer lines and get an even better finish ! Absolutely amazing though , might try this down the road !
Awesome 😍😍😍😍
Amazing!
Amazing art and casting
Amazing
Turned out fantastic! Love the finish
Thank you! So do I.
that's cool i want one
Might be a stupid question but why didn't you add vents? I thought they were an absolute must to ensure complete filling of the mold and avoiding bubbles
legit awesome..
Super job
That statue turned out amazing!! I loved how the patina ended up. Great video mate👍👍
Thank you! So do I. It’s something a little different.
nice, thanks
I think it may be a good idea to get a threaded rod (printed, wood, metal, doesn't matter) that threads into the sprue (print threads into the sprue hole). Then you can have an easily removed handle for dipping while avoiding having to burn out the wooden handle each time.
I think that is a good idea. I may do that. Thanks!
excellent
Did you think about using ABS and smooth it with acetone vapor? It would make lines less visible on the final metal model
As usual, great work! You’re an inspiration to all who aspire to become outstanding craftsmen.
Thank you very much!
You're worthy of a subscribe. Thanks for sharing ideas. Keep it up.
Stunning.
Thanks!
This process would be a great way to manufacture metal parts? I bought a foundry for this purpose. I hope it works out.
That slurry looks complicated and expensive to use. Ill probably start with plaster
Underviewed video. One of your best but so few views!
INCREDIBLE WORK!!! Did you mix your bronze? If so, what recipe did you use?
Try making the Chacapoyian Fertility Idol from Raiders of the Lost Ark!
Your casts look amazing, one small problem that ive noticed is that you can see the layers from the print. Maybe with a DLP printer you could get even better results?
There are print settings on ordinary 3d printers that can get the quality to be quite fine, but I guess 13 hours was a lot already.
Amazing work as always. Excellent channel
Your best work yet, well done sir
Thank you!!
6:52 YOU GOT LUCKY !!!! It could have been your hand ....
use the old broken ceramic for the outer layer of ceramic at the newest projects
nice
Thanks!
Where do you buy your supplies and kit from? Both the suspendaslurry, kaeowool, protection gear and so on. Amazingly inspirational stuff this, and you make it look sooooo easy! :D
N to the I to the C to the E NICE. 👌👌👌👌👌
Great video and cool content.
Love your art ❤️❤️

Aonde encontrar esse produto amarelo
Ça me donne envie d’aller couler un bronze

Great job!
I Just built my own furnace and i was wondering why he doesn’t use sand casting... if someone could explain the pros and cons of this method...
@@cap5856 i was thinking about turning the sand cast upside down and heating it maybe in the oven at 250 and letting the Plastic drip out of the pouring channels . Do you think my idea is possible?
Did you not use vents for air to escape because the entry hole was so big it could just swap places with the molten metal ?
Amazing work 🔥
Seems like the suspend a slurry always starts to crack out,what's the manufacturers recommendation to solve that?
Thanks for these awesome videos! These are always really great to watch. Could I ask you, is there a limit to how thick you can cast something?
