I saw a ring by 3D artist Printed Obsession and I just had to have a go at casting it. I began by printing it on the Anycubic Mono X 6K using Siraya Tech Cast resin, encased the prints in investment plaster, cooked it in a burnout oven, poured metal and polished. I wasn't quite that simple, but you get the idea 😁

My thanks to Printed Obsession for this excellent ring design.

Please consider doing more testing with this. I use the same resin and am really interested in what the least amount of faffing about is necessary to get a good result. Are all the water washes necessary? What about the glycerin curing? Questions like that would be very interesting to explore.

@coulterjb22 2 года назад

I'm glad you did that. I plan on giving this stuff a go this winter (the resin has been patiently waiting for my attention). Thanks, VOG!

@vogman 2 года назад

Glad I could help!

@BrakhianSoldier 2 года назад

The scientific method require for the results to be repeatable so it would be interesting to see this test repeated a few times to see if the differences remain the same as for this one. The ring looks great anyways and the model is top notch.

@vogman 2 года назад

Absolutely. That's why it's interesting but certainly not proven... though it does support the information I was previously given, so I guess we have to give it to Siraya Tech 😁

@gbspikyfish 2 года назад

It would be interesting to know the chemical processes of why the "wrongly cured" print had issues with the casting process. As you said, the two prints looked the same after curing so there must be some chemical or structural difference that causes the tiny pits when the wrongly cured one is cast.

@vogman 2 года назад

Oxygen I believe. It gets trapped whilst printed but spoils the casting process. 😁

@dickmorris6310 2 года назад

I wondered if the glycerin actually made a difference but haven't had time to do a comparison. Thanks for doing this.

@vogman 2 года назад

It was a worthwhile experiment. I guess all that Oxygen business really does matter. Take care Dick 😁

@lukearts2954 2 года назад

Those little imperfections actually make it look a bit older, like low tech casting techniques... I think for certain applications (like heirloom rings) it gives even more character, while obviously other things require perfection like the properly cured one =) Very nice result and glad to see some casting again! Remember the old days with tinkering videos and tracked lawnmowers? X"D

@vogman 2 года назад

Remember them? I miss them 😁 I was saying to my son earlier today how I miss having an ongoing project, such as the lawnmower or the electric furnace... something to get me thinking and take several weeks of building. I would do something like that in a heartbeat, if only I could think of something. The only thing that comes close is my desire to convert a big diesel 4x4 to electric, but that would take a lottery win. I could never afford it... but what a fun project that would be.

Hell yeah buddy! Great rings BOTH of those! Thanx for the faffing and non faffing results! I'm sure you'll be back to the faffing madness before too long! LOL The ffaffing ring is definitely what most would prefer. However, the unfaffed ring has some character that others would find irresistable! Thanx for your honesty and meticulous approach once again my friend! Have a great weekend Geoff! :D

@kingdalg1 2 года назад

Porosity is caused by the sprue system not being as thick as the thickest part of the models cross section. One sprue in the right place would have cured the imperfections. I'm a jewellery caster by trade. It's black art in itself. Prey to the casting god's. Love your videos

@robertsurtees2667 2 года назад

You could use an ultrasonic cleaner with ipa to clean up the print with IPA It gets quite warm and allows the supports to more easily come off and all the uncured resin is removed, ( this is against the manufacturer instructions )

Great job Geoff! Nice coffee bean to differentiate between the two lions! I hereby name the imperfect Lion "Beanie"... It may not have been an absolutely scientific conclusive test, but, it sure produced a pretty obvious result. I think they both look great by the way 😬

@vogman 2 года назад

Thanks Dan. After a month of wearing, they'd probably both look the same anyway 😁😁😁

@SoBeit777 2 года назад

So would how would you use glycerine with an elegoo wash and cure station? Would you only use this for castable?

@valde3411 Год назад

is it possible to get good results without a vacuum caster?

@colethynne 11 месяцев назад

What temperature is the flask when the molten metal is being poured? I thought you said 220F on one of your videos but I cant seem to find it right now. Thanks, great content it has helped a lot!

can you do review hout to setup proper small casting project.. would really love those tools.. some of them I already have like compressor. dremel rotating tools and 3d print..

@RoseKindred 2 года назад

The science on why you used glycerin was interesting. I have a question about this curing process, have you tried making a silicone mold after it is cured in glycerin? I wonder how this casting resin would react with the mold compounds after your curing method. Typically 3D printed parts need a coating of something like Inhibit-X or the print reacts with the mold material. It is 3am so I cannot remember if it is Tin or Platinum based compound that reacts with the prints. This resin is different, as you demonstrate by burning it out, so I wonder about its other properties. If it can be molded right away this would help many people who make jewelry (not metal cast), dice, or game pieces.

@vogman 2 года назад

Those are good questions, but unfortunately it's not something I have experience with so I can't answer 😁

@chubpone 8 месяцев назад

what setting are you using? also is that a elegoo mars 2?

@jokersredace 2 года назад

Ok so the air is stuck in it.. well you have a uv light and a vacuum chamber.. can you cure it while under a vacuum?

@vogman 2 года назад

Actually vacuum curing and vacuum casting are techniques that are under study by cleverer blokes than me 😁😁😁

Hello. Is there a difference between 4K models and anycubic Photon Mono X 6K models ???

@vogman 2 года назад

Yes, the 6K will give you better printing results and a slightly larger print. Check out my video on the subject ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CaL3iA421mg.html

@cheruscanstrong7520 2 года назад

Thanks for another great upload! Have you ever tried to use an elegoo resin? Can you burn it out in the kiln similar to casting resin or is it 100% not doable? ALSO I what would you say is the most cost efficient casting resin? I currently use blue cast x10

@vogman 2 года назад

I've tried "ordinary" resin in an experiment here - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8p7I8IVmpSo.html - though it was Phrozen resin. My guess is that all non-castable resins will produce similar results. After all, the right tool for the job... 😁 If you like X10, you really should have a go with X1. Bluecast really excelled themselves there ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nrnNH1Ji2DE.html

@groudonkoorb 2 года назад

How much space do you need for a workshop to do casting? Can it be done in a garage or do you need a dedicated space?

@vogman 2 года назад

Well I cast in my garage 😁😁😁

@groudonkoorb 2 года назад

@@vogman oh haha nice. Is your garage part of your house or is it a separate building? All the fire and molten metal makes me a little nervous about potentially causing a large fire.

@admiralbees1690 2 года назад

That's funny. I was preparing some pieces using this resin today, I was convinced as well as the curing in glycerin, that one couldn't expose these to water. Am I completely off my chump?? Would make life easier if I could give them a quick rinse.

@vogman 2 года назад

No... water contains oxygen. Doesn't work... got to be glycerine. It's messy, but it does the job 😁😁😁

@L1mJahey 2 года назад

If you revisit this, do a Unicorn ring, then a Dragon ;)

@vogman 2 года назад

I was thinking of that... when I was at school I had to paint the Royal Coat of Arms (Lion and Unicorn) and later painted the Welsh Dragon, so these thoughts were in my mind as well 😁

@colethynne Год назад

Instead of vegetable glycerine, would vegetable oil work instead? Much cheaper.

@vogman Год назад

I've no idea. I've never tried it.

@colethynne Год назад

@@vogman already purchased the glycerine but I might experiment with oil. Thanks for all the great content it’s helped me out a lot ❤️

@jeffalessi 2 года назад

Why did one of the rings have flaws? Nice work!

@vogman 2 года назад

It's all about the curing process. Curing in glycerine lets the print shed oxygen and improves casting 😁

@ThirdEyeWide 2 года назад

love the details on that ring. question - how do you know when a print is cured with this resin ? also, are you strictly following that burnout you post a screen shot of ? I haven't been able to get a clean cast with this resin yet :(

@vogman 2 года назад

I'm VERY generous with curing. 1 or 2 hours is quite typical for me as I know how important it is. Once printed, clean immediately and get it into glycerine as soon as you can. Once cured, cast it as soon as possible. Don't leave things hanging around for days, but if you have to, try to vacuum store them 😁
