I was spending hours producing these engine bay caps, so I decided to speed things up and make a silicone split mold and cast them out of a two-part plastic. Way less effort, time and even a stronger part!

My eyes transfixed to the screen my mouth hanging open I was about to drool when a garbage truck suddenly yanked me "back" to reality. So mesmerized was I by the sorcery taking place before me on the screen... You sir are a plastic wizard I I bow down and thank you for sharing this. Magic with the world. No for real that was fucking cool thanks

@EndMotive Год назад

Lol, Thank you. I fail.... a lot too btw. The process is fairly difficult and what works for one part, does not at all for another.

Great work!... Curious about the heater at the bottom of the Vacuum Pot. : )

@EndMotive 2 года назад

Thanks!. No heater, there is a silicone spill mat inside though.

@gigifrana940 2 года назад

U actually used 3D printing 🤔

@EndMotive 2 года назад

Yeah for the master, but it takes less than 45 min each now vs the nearly 4 hours it takes to print. Plus the sanding and painting that isn't needed anymore saves even more time.

@TheStigma Месяц назад

Such clean work. Respect! I'm not familiar with PU as a 2 part casting resin. What makes it a good choice over the typical epoxies?

@EndMotive Месяц назад

Thank you! I am by no means a chemical engineer, I just happened to grab something with an appropriate heat range and sent it lol. Epoxy resin would have likely worked just as well for this part.

@brappineau4161 Год назад

did you need to vacuum these? have you had any issus with bubbles?

@EndMotive Год назад

I did have a some issues with bubbles, I should have added more or larger vents. Ideally they should be cast into the mold and then placed in a pressure pot.

@bgy1591 Год назад

Do you think this is possible to make a bumper mold with?

@EndMotive Год назад

Yeah I would think it is possible, but it would be a pretty complex mold and fairly expensive. Most aftermarket/body-kit style bumpers are made with a fiberglass molds. The silicone would be nice for weird or undercut geometry though.

@frogboyxyz Год назад

Thank You. I just bought a used car with cracked interior parts everywhere. Do you think this method could be used to make a whole new dashboard?

@EndMotive Год назад

Yes in theory it could be done, but the cost of failure might not be worth it. The material cost for an entire dash would likely be too much. The small trim pieces would best be repaired with an epoxy or glue, and the dash itself maybe re-upholstered?

@drfailbucket 2 года назад

Nice job 👍 first one that shows you can mold yourself without selling your organs for an injection molding machine 😂 Do you know how about the temperature resistance of the plastic? 🤔

@EndMotive 2 года назад

Yeah, injection molds are crazy expensive. This plastic is good for 250f I believe, which is why I chose it!

@zerayabay5091 Год назад

What is the material you pour in to the mold? I mean the black one

@EndMotive Год назад

Materials are in the description! It is a Smooth-on 2 part plastic.

It is Smooth-on Onyx.

urethane o polyurethane?

@shawcobra Год назад

Do yo need that vaccum thing for the silicon, is there a cheaper alternative? because i want to make some molds for my tools 😬

@EndMotive Год назад

Nope, You don't need a vacuum pot. It helps degas the mixture and reduce the amount of bubbles, but some silicones claim that they are low-gas and do not need to be vacuumed at all.

@shawcobra Год назад

@@EndMotive Any silicon molding liquids you recommend?

@EndMotive Год назад

@@shawcobra I have had really good luck with Smooth-on brand. The Mold Max 14 does not need to be degassed, maybe the entire Mold Max series, but not positive.

@shawcobra Год назад

@@EndMotive ok thanks for the recommendation and have a happy new year!

How does Polyurethane fair against UV and heat?

@EndMotive 8 месяцев назад

Different products have different ratings but the stuff I used has held up great to everything I have put it through. I haven't noticed any degradation from uv or heat, but have not exposed it to extreme heats really either.

@harveykortman 2 года назад

So molding stuff now? I see you had to get a vacuum container and pressure pot

@EndMotive 2 года назад

I did use a vacuum chamber to degas before pouring, but some of the parts I will be casting in the future will require a pressure pot

If u have more ill buy them from u?

I dont have any right now, but plan on making more in the future

@jessechampagne5482 2 года назад

Could you not have just 3d printed the molds, sanded them, bunffed them and applied mold release? Serious question. Just thinking for those of us who have a 3 printer but not well versed in all the other stuff you did. This definitely a huge time saver if you are making multiples comparing to 3d printing the part everytime though great thinking.

@EndMotive 2 года назад

I could have sla printed the molds, but it would have next to impossible to sand them and texture them. Then the rigid molds would create a mechanic lock with the cast resin. It would have been possible if I added some draft angles and no texture though.

@jessechampagne5482 2 года назад

@@EndMotive if you print them in the right orientation so that your layer lines are for the most part laid in the direction of pull it will release much easier. Also a good layer of wax and release agent would help as well as using filaments that are naturally chemical resistant like PETG. You could also do the mold out of TPU if a hard mold would be too difficult to use. Food for thought. I just did a little digging and this is what I came up with thought I would pass it on.
