As proof of concepts goes, it doesn't get any better than that. Casting chains have been done for some time, but doing the entire process at home is impressive. Nice one buddy! 👍
We did this exact process with a tulip bracelet! It was successful but there was definite room for improvement. Thanks for the pointers, much appreciated
VOGMAN what a groundbreaking and beautiful result! Kudos also on perfectly applying the new PepeTools sander in this project. Thank you for taking us with you on this journey! ❤
Thanks Scott for the kind support. I'll be honest, with my limited skills, I'm not sure I would have had the patience to do this without the mini sander. It made light work of an otherwise fiddly job.
Wow, I know how to make these by hand (I am not good at it, just wanted to try) but never thought to try to forge one. I love how you incorporated the normal "wax sprue" into the design model. I envy people like you who can model what is in your head, I have to see/touch something in order to model it.
I'm still learning CAD if I'm honest. I enjoy it, but I marvel at the talented of those that make it look easy. I also marvel at the talent of anyone who can make a Cuban the proper way 😁😁😁
Every time I see these videos you make me want to buy everything needed for metal casting, too bad I can't do it because I live in an apartment building. Still waiting for the video on my fellow villagers of the Bluecast.
Thanks for sharing your experiences in casting a chain. If you are going to wear it on your wrist, you probably need to cast it as a open chain, and then get a clasp and jump rings from Rio Grande to finish it. They probably have items that are the same metal as your cast. I enjoy all of your reviews and demonstrations.
You need to look at some of my older stuff. This video will give you an idea. There's cheap DIY versions mentioned. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qxj5eUkAFUI.html And whilst it talks about Lost PLA, the same thing applies to Castable Resin 😁
Amazing proof of concept. Once I get my Al bronze mixture just right (getting that stuff to wet out is interesting) I want to try some articulating pieces.
I had one guy write and say he was going to report me to RU-vid. I told him I still had the casting so he was welcome to do so. I guess some people just don't understand the possibilities 3D printing have presented us with 😁
I'm so impressed with the outcome. Any Mexican chains coming soon? I see you use a different flask than normal. What's the difference apart from the holes please?
@Vogman, if you want to cure parts that are hard for light to reach through air (common curing way), then use a water container to submerge the part in water and then light up the container using a UV light reflector to cure the part there. Water is a really good medium for light to travel through:) I'm sure I'm late to the party with this comment, but if I'm not, I really hope it works for you:) Top videos as usual!!!:)
Fantastic! I'll be looking at doing something like this at some point, I'm sure. Love your videos. I've used your videos to get myself set up for casting and am having a bit of trouble getting a good seal on the Kaya Cast in the casting chamber side. Arbe is sending me replacement gaskets to see if that's the problem, but I was wondering if you had any tips for getting a good seal on that casting chamber side.
How small were the gaps between each link? If you don't mind telling me, of course. I've been trying to cast a similar piece but im worried i'm working with tolerances a bit too tight (about .25mm).
Amazing absolutely love your channel! I just got my mono 2 this morning so it's set up time now I was just wondering about the 3.0.2 software slicer with it I bought the mono 4k about 3 weeks ago but needed a second and love my 4k so with that mono 2 being on promotion price both mono 2 and wash amd cure for £199 I grabbed one! As of today it's that just for the printer or £338 for both so saved £100 it's a spare wash and cure anyway! OK what I was wondering was the 4K slicer I installed can I keep that going as well as the new mono 2 version I'm away to install or will I need to use the same one and change the settings everytime? It might not be an issue as use lychee now for the mono 4k all the time I'm getting good test prints in the validation test matrix but the right sided slider up the sode I'm still getting the step lines! Have you Any tips on how to get them gone or near gone?
Amazing. I tried a file off of ch trader and were fused. Elegoo mars pro not the 2nd one siriya true blue cast. Would love someone who uses my exact machine to chime in on better settings. Vog love your videos been watching for few years now❤
99% of my casting is done using Siraya Tech cast. It's affordable and you get a nice big bottle for your money. It prints very well and it casts beautifully. However, sometimes alternatives are needed and Bluecast X One was perfect for this situation. I hope that helps.
The machines to make Cuban chain have been around since 1980, they are much faster than in 3D, in addition to the quality, hardness and final finish, is much better. There are many things where 3D printing is NOT competitive.
REVIEW PRINTERS MY GUY TO KEEP THIS CHANNEL ALIVE. NOBODY INTERESTED IN CUBAN OR MEXICAN GOLD CHAINS LOL PRINTERS PRINTERS PRINTERS IS WHERE ITS AT SO CUT THE BS
BS? I'm not sure I'd agree. This Channel is me... it's my interests... the things I like to do. I'm not sponsored by anyone which gives me the freedom to be and to do what I want. I was metal casting before I was printing. For me the two interests overlap and I know the same goes for many of my viewers. It might not suit everyone, but they don't have to watch.
I'm one of the 108K subscribers who disagree with your suggestion. If I only want to watch 3D printing reviews I have a number of options. But how does that help me with casting? And are those channels looking at printers from a casting perspective? When I'm looking for casting info those channels won't help me. I'm glad VOG is here to give his perspective and tips.
I started watching to learn about how resin printers can be used in the casting world so all the videos whether they are printer reviews with casting elements in them or specifically about casting with the use of a certain printer are useful to me. I don’t care what the casting may be, it’s the process I’m interested in watching. So I think it’s all valid, don’t like it? Don’t watch.
