Thanks man!! Yes some sculpting content is definitely coming. Typically it’s done at home with my kids around and I still haven’t set up a dedicated filming space yet😅
did you see all the sanding he had to do to get rid of the support marks, layer lines and imperfections? he'd have to do all those steps again if he printed another one, but with casting, he gets a copy of the "perfect" model and skips all those other steps. it's really worth it if you are going to make a couple copies of the figure. and also you get in made in a strong material with casting.
I am inspired. I have made molds for Batman cowls. Now... I want to mold 3D printed action figures. I should scale them up to make it worth it. Do a more solid resin body with a bit softer arms. Yeah.... need lego's.
nice video :) those casts came out awesome overall! gona try lego on my next molds! Pressure pots dont force the air out of the resin btw, vacuum pots pull/force the air out, but obviously cant vacuum a mold and pull all the resin out haha, the pressure pots increase the pressure causing any air bubbles left to get comppressed down to tiny tiny sizes, and then the resin hardens around that so you just dont see them because they are so small. At least thats how I understood it🤷♂ could have missunderstood with the bubbles on the finger tips, when ive had that issue in the past, i found just pouring the resin with the mold tilted at a certain angle helps, so that resin can slide into the fingers along an edge allowing it to "get under" the air trapped in the finger tips, instead of coming from the top straight down trapping that air in the tips :)
Thank you so much for watching and your feedback clarifying! Really appreciate it. As for the bubbles I. The finger tips you are absolutely right! I didn’t give myself enough time to work them out but since have poured a couple with this technique. 🤝
Hey man. First time watching your videos, and I literally know 0 about pouring resin, however the thought came to mind when you mentioned you have to shake the molds when pouring to avoid air pockets, have you ever tried using a vibrator to vibrate the mold as you pour? Maybe it's a dumb idea, but probably something I would give a shot if I was in your shoes. Btw, keep lt up and keep sober, sober is the new high, power to you 🎉
Hey! Well thanks and welcome!! It’s a really idea that could work. I have a vacuum chamber that sucks up all the air but hardly use it. 😅 Especially if I only have 3 minutes.
🧠 🧠 🧠 awesome video series really enjoyed it! Definitely looking to take my models to the next step. Question: how many copies can you get out of one mold? Like, do the molds degrade after using them?
Thanks for watching! I'd say it depends on how often you pour, which heats the molds. And if you're doing it often I feel like it starts to harden the molds which can cause it to get brittle. But typically 15-25 pours. Thought I'm not sure how long the 20-T will last.
It's a Paasche spray booth. It's good for small parts and painting a few things at a time. I left a link on the video description. Scroll down to the end and have a look.
This is great man' .. Thank you for sharing
Absolutely love the video step by step. Gives us new creators confidence in knowing the process and anything is possible with a little care. 🎉❤

Amazing video Frank!!!!! loved the whole process and ... yup .. you have inspired me again to try making molds!!! Keep the good work man!!!!
Yeah man!!! Get it. And remember safety first!
🧠 these videos keep me inspired to 3d model.
That’s why I do it! Thanks for tuning in again✌️
Learned something new today, thanks for sharing!
Yessss!!! Thank you for watching.🤝
Amazing work ! Love it !
Thanks a lot for hanging with me!
Maybe a stupid question but, is make molding still a better thing? I mean, isn't less work to print another one?
did you see all the sanding he had to do to get rid of the support marks, layer lines and imperfections? he'd have to do all those steps again if he printed another one, but with casting, he gets a copy of the "perfect" model and skips all those other steps. it's really worth it if you are going to make a couple copies of the figure. and also you get in made in a strong material with casting.
I used to do this making artisan keyboard key caps. Awesome video!
😮that’s a perfect way to use a 2 piece mold!! Thank you!
incredible work as always🧠
Thank you!👊✌️🧠
🧠Great video!
Hey Frank! More videos please! Artiqfox "Jaime" is is awesome 3D artist!
Insane, I am impressed with your attention to details, what makes you work unique. Can I ask what modelling software you use ?

Great video! I tried using legos once for a mold box and the silicon seeped through, any idea why?
Hmm well I’m not too sure what product you were using but you can always add painters tape around the sides and bottom of it to keep it together!?
