We review the smooth-running ROTOCAST DIGITAL 12, make a bunch of figures, and find out if it is actually possible to heat cure and pull soft vinyl from silicone molds.
CURING PLASTISOL:
- In an old oven (not used for food), pre-heat silicone mold to 400 degrees.
- Pour liquid plastisol into hot mold and let sit for 2 to 3 minutes to form a semi-cured gel layer.
(The mold will drop well below 400 quickly, so I either set inside the oven w/ door open, or wrap with aluminum foil like a baked potato to keep heat inside.)
- Empty uncured plastisol into a spare container, to be reused.
- Place mold with hollow part(s) back into oven and let cure for 20 to 30 minutes, depending on heat. Oven should be at least 350, but not much higher than 400.

Thank you so much for the opportunity, seriously! We're very grateful! I didn't want to mention it, because I know how I get sidetracked from one project to the next, but I'd really like to build something like a large Fisher Price style playset using the rotocaster! ;) :D

It’s super cool! Is there a way to program a speed curve for the fast-start slow-finish method mentioned in the video? I’m imagining telling the Rotocast the cure time for each resin, and allowing that to stretch/shrink a standard logarithmic curve.

Lawnmower Man? Stephen King's Lawnmower man?
@jeremysmith4620
@jeremysmith4620 2 месяца назад
@@cjcarver6290 That is an interesting and sticky question. The movie "adaptation" of Stephen King's Lawnmower Man, which King later sued to have his name removed from because it was a mixture of King's story and another titled "Cyber God." That name is hilarious due to the connotations the word cyber gained in the early days of the internet. I am referencing the film when Jobe, the titular Lawnmower Man, is in a large Aerotrim, or multi-axis trainer, that pilots, astronauts, and web based deities all use to train. Seeing this awesome Rotocaster immediately brought this insane movie to mind. Hope that explains it!

@pherja
@pherja 2 месяца назад
You legit do not understand what you’ve done. You broke down the giant iron doors of sofubi and opened the kingdom to EVERYONE. I’ve had this idea in my head for a while now, but couldn’t figure out the heating part. I don’t have the space for a large oven (japan…) so it wasn’t something I could test. But you could, and you did, and it works. I feel validated. I’m figuring out now how to get a small oven shoved in here somewhere… 😅 Wow. You have my eternal thanks for this. 🙇‍♂️ (you also basically made rotocasting unnecessary)
@TheCrafsMan
@TheCrafsMan 2 месяца назад
Hey, thank you SO MUCH for the encouraging words! I really do get a lot of motivation from comments like this. ALSO... before getting an oven, consider taking a look at the chemical/"fryer" type units. This is the next thing I want to try, because it's closer to what's done overseas, and I have a feeling it releases less fumes than oven-curing (although I do have a vent pulling fumes through a carbon filter to outside, as well as a respirator). I'm wishing you success!

I’ve had an exciting idea about tesselating motion sculptures that need molding skills… I’m too shy to ask.

Ooh! I’d never even considered rotocasting could be viable at a hobby/small scale before! I would just sit and watch that thing and be mesmerized by the movement. 🤣 Just like with my 3D printers… 12 years later and I still love watching them print. I wonder if there’s a way to combine rotocast with heating the vinyl suspension stuff. 🤔 Heated spinning vats of liquid may be a little too spooky. Haha

Fantastic, entertaining, educational video, as always. You do such wonderful work, Crafsman. How often did you have a failed figure once you got the gang molds running?
@TheCrafsMan
@TheCrafsMan 2 месяца назад
Usually it'll be a situation where the whole batch is under-cooked, or either they all worked. I HAVE had a couple times where the end figures in the gang mold cured better than the inside, but like I said, it's usually all or none. It will depend on your mold size/thickness as well as oven capabilities (ie. is it a convection, etc.?). We've also thought about whether or not an "air fryer" would work.
