I made a few pins following a very similar process, except I took my initial print, created a silicone mold, and then reproduced the pin using a plastic like resin. I then painted the pins with enamel paint, but the syringes I was using were way too big (the model paint squeeze type). These syringes would have been much better! Without any pressure pots or vacuums the mold came out pretty ok and the initial POC pins were serviceable. I think there's a ton of room here with either approach for makers to run off a good number of small run pins
they look great! just from the thumbnail i definitely thought they were metal pins so it looks the part 100% imo. appreciate all the explanations, this really went in depth! i came from Simones video and was not disappointed!
Thanks for this! I love the look of enamel pins but buying some or even getting some custom made are super pricey. Been looking for ways to try making some at home!
Wow so I've been working on a similar process and I thought yours were going to be way different because they look cleaner, but actually we did almost everything the same ha! Main difference being the syringes which I'm definitely stealing. I want to ask about the epoxy though, because it seems like fussing with the curing times is unnecessary; why not just use UV resin and cure it once the colors are filled? Also I LOVE the DDR arrows! I kinda want to make those now too.
Awesome idea, i have a resin printer and looks like this would be a good product to sell, what resing do you use and what about the paint, it doesn't scratch when placing the metal ring?
They're pretty neat. My current setup is actually in a spare closet-sized basement in a rented town house XD The vent fan makes for a half-decent fume extractor, but resin printers and their accessories do indeed take up a lot of space. I should give a tour of my small setup, though!
Im so glad my school has a 3D printer. And that my mom owns a nail salon so imma just use shellac polish instead of resin because of how they seem similar. :D
HI! I'm trying to make pin using an svg, but every time I try uploading line art to create the ridges similar to what you have here which makes the cavity for the resin, I can't get the solid backing with the raised line art. It just extrudes the line art leaving a hollow space where I'd like to have a solid back like in this video. Is there a way to fill in the empty spaces that I'm not seeing?
The pins look epic! I do have a tip that might make life easier - just use the UV resin from your printer instead of a 2 part. Fill the voids and then just stick it in your cure bin and you don't have to worry about a working time. Also, maybe look into small squeeze bottle with fine tips, those might be easier than a 24g needle. I've been doing a pretty similar process with stuff out of my Snapmaker. Last thing xD some people need syringes for things like insulin for diabetes (or their pet has diabetes and takes insulin) and the local pharmacy doesn't have the size they want so off to Amazon we go lol
Thanks for the help! Although I'm not sure how well UV resin will dye, it can't hurt to give it a try. Do they have squeeze bottles this tiny? The syringes were needed because of the really fine control required for palcing the resin. Also, another use for amazon needles is pet medicine! I forgot about that, too lmao
Several reasons, really. Main one being a re-prioritization in life at the moment towards my career in the space industry. Also a slight lack of motivation to maintain the endurance required to actually finish a video. I do plan on doing some more stuff in the future, but nothign concrete as of now.

I wanted to wait until the 4k version processed, but I can't wait any longer. If you want 4k, come back in like a week, lol.

sup, amazing vid! btw i made a vid for u!
Ayyy the guy from the legendary skyblock vid is back
Me and my friend watched you Minecraft timelapses he told me today that he revisited you channel and you had a new video so here i am
Welcome back! I'm hoping to continue making small videos as the years go by.
@@LazerLord10 That's awesome!

That's great to hear! I hope to do more art stuff like this in the future.

Been looking for ways to try making some at home!
Perhaps I should comment here instead, that was excellent footage o.o
Just found your video! Subbed right away to your channel. Great info! Ty for sharing your knowledge with us and teaching/explaining it so well.
This definitely works well but it won’t feel very high quality compared to enamel pins
5 meses desaparecido. Ya me preocupaba 😅
Muy buen tutorial, muchas gracias
Dude you're coming up on 10 million views on Four Pillar Survival, that would make you a hat-trick for 10 million views. You should celebrate somehow!
I didn't even know you have a UA-cam Channel - pretty surprised! :D
Wha, you've tracked me down to my channel, haha! Glad to see you here as well.
@@LazerLord10 Yeah, saw a comment of yours on a SmarterEveryDay video :'D
@@LazerLord10 sup, amazing vid! btw i made a vid for u!
Thank you!

Man these look great!
this is soo cool!
i love it
Hey Brother, Please start posting videos of minecraft like before. It's been a long time no see. PLEASE....
Awesome idea, i have a resin printer and looks like this would be a good product to sell, what resing do you use and what about the paint, it doesn't scratch when placing the metal ring?
looks amazing nice work
had notifications on for this very reason, great video
Thanks for sticking around! It means a lot to a small youtuber like me.
Very Nice Tutorial, I made a dog tag for my fur suit!
Awesome!
Great video. Thanks for sharing your process! If I had the space I'd definitely be getting a 3D printer :D

are you going to upload again
eventually!
Do you remember your Legendary Skyblock TimeLapse
Are you still living?
Your voice sounds so familiar
Fusion 360 is free for non commercial rather than free for hobbiest. If you sell your pins, be careful they don't catch you
I love dragons laser lord!
Im so glad my school has a 3D printer. And that my mom owns a nail salon so imma just use shellac polish instead of resin because of how they seem similar. :D
Because the minecraft timelapses are the most legendary videos of my life

Rly plz
You can recycle isopropyl VOG has a good video on this
The pins look epic!

@@LazerLord10 I think mine are 1 ounce? UV resin dyes really well, I used to have and Elegoo Mars and would put alcohol ink the reservoir resin.
Fusion 360 is free to hobbyists??
damn thats crazy, i dont even have a 3D printer
This is cool, hey lazerlord!
Jai I want this paint
Why aren’t you posting anymore?

Damn I missed this upload, I think UA-cam unsubscribed me for some reason
Hi
sup
Can I have one
Because of the softness and potential for scratches could you put a thin coat of clear undiluted right over the top?
Oh yeah, you probably could! That's a great idea
You working on space hardware you said?
ye (come here from a comment somewhere else? If you wanna chat, just DM me on twitter)
Do you still skate
nah, that lasted for about a month and then I decided that biking was overall better for my skeletal health.
