- 3D Printing, Silicone Molds, & Craft Resin for #Locksport
Hope this video gets some minds going and some cool projects come from it! I have personally had a great time with these projects.
Materials:
-15A silicone - The kit I buy comes with color dyes and lego bricks
-25A Platinum silicone - Needed for casting models from resin 3D printers
-Craft resin - I use a 1:1 ratio resin. Follow the instructions on the resin you use
-Drill and different mixing heads for the different silicones and resin
-Vacuum chamber to suck out the bubbles from the silicone and especially the resin
3D files for American Lock display found on my Thingiverse:

I just wanted to clarify something about the silicone. You are referring to the "shore hardness" as if it were a model number of product when it is not. the 12A you mention is just how hard the silicone is (squishy) and the 2 "types" of silicone are "tin cure" and "platinum cure" and you can get the same hardness in either of these. You are absolutely correct about platinum cure being what to use for resin 3D prints and that tin cure is stronger, longer lasting (no matter the shore-A hardness). But you really should not talk like the numbers you use are a "type" of silicone. The correct wording would be Tin VS. Platinum cure are the 2 main types but they both come in many different hardness (Shore-A value). Carry on.
Thank you for spelling this out and educating us! Seriously, thanks!
This was an awesome video. Great information and things you have learnt and made. I just love that you got to keep your animals forever like this. Wow they are stunning, especially Jezebel. Thanks for showing all this, cheers
Very interesting video 👍👍👍💯😊
Thx 👍🔓🏆
Very cool ideas! Ty for sharing!
Awesome video with some fascinating ideas and tips!!
Great information. I have been thinking about casting some resin. This helped me get ideas and understanding.
Where can I buy the American Lock key and pins in resin?
I don't have this model for sale at the moment. Follow me on my social medias and I may let some go in the future once I get enough of them made 😀
Hey very cool 😎
