You forgot the part where you dump the mix into a separate cup and mix again. This will make sure that you don't get any unmixed materials into any of the molds/parts. Makes the whole thing a bit more consistent. Also a vacuum chamber can get rid of all those air bubbles. But that takes a lot of time and money. Applying vibrations can also help. Modern video game controllers have something like that built in.

@Janovich 3 года назад

dont bother with tin, its way way harder. because of the weight it tends to seep in between the parts with such tiny molds, so they need to be pressed together quite tightly. then molds need to be bigger so the squeeze doesnt deform the negative spaces. it becomes almost instantly solid, meaning lots of trapped air. tin with lead is poisenous, the right type is hard to get by for amateurs. all in all very expensive. its also way more dangerous due to the intense heat obviously. lots of other reason and just not worth it for casual recasters is my advice.

To reduce the air pockets and ensure that the resin pour manages to reach all the areas of the mold one thing you can do is before you seal the two halves very quickly rub some of the resin into those hard to reach areas and then seal up the mold and pour the resin in. What this will do is lubricate the mold and so reduces surface tension allowing the resin to flow much easier through the mold.

@miguelortiz3836 4 года назад

The main problem is that people in the community complained about it with the company itself and demanded they took action. On the 3d printing thing they don't like it but try to avoid talking about it changing the subject when asked. I don't know if it would be possible/easier/cheaper for them to do it themselves with official products as a replacement for their casting methods without loosing much detail, specially since they already do the files digitally in some kind of cad program and many pieces have gone out of production because of "damaged master molds" specially with Forgeworld which use resin already.

@TheAtomicSpoon 4 года назад

I hate resin as is, PS is just better. I don't see them doing anything to go backwards in casting methods. Could possibly work for FW stuff however.

@miguelortiz3836 4 года назад

@Jody B are they really? I thought they said they used a plastic injection method, although the files were made by cad. On the bad side if anyone leaked those files it would be a major corporate theft and it could and would be severely prosecuted unlike how they deal with most recasters.

If you used an actual release agent, as well as using Lego to build your pouring box rather than using tape, you would have an easier time separating the two halves and much less flash. The only reason you are getting so much flash is because the box mold isn't securely touching.

@MrTreoni 4 года назад

Hey man, awesome video! I'm anxiously waiting to see how you're gonna tackle already constructed models! Having said that, here's some advice: - To reduce the amount of unused resin, measure the amount you need by filling the mold with water and putting the water in the cup. This way you have the exact amount you'll need of resin instead of eyeballing it. - WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES, MASKS and GOGGLES when handling your liquid resin! It's toxic to your skin, eyes and lungs!!!!! EDIT: also, to reduce the amount of bubbles, use a pressure pot(for the resin) or vacuum pot (for the rubber). But that's expensive. Pouring both from a large height in a tiny stream also helps tonnes.

@MiniatureHobbyist 4 года назад

Hey bud cheers for tips, I am looking at some pressure pots but like you say they are expensive and its not my aim to make lots of copies of things. I just like trying out different types of making moulds. In regards to the use of resin I always have some spare moulds to hand so if I do have any left I pour it into those for extra copies, I hate wasting stuff =)

If you like burning things, you should cast a mini in candle wax and put a wick in the torso.

I did cast some terrain in wax with a wick in it, check that video out =)

How many mini's can you roughly make out of all the resin and mould bottles?

Could you use cut up and melted plastic sprue for this?

Hey Mate, nice Job. i have a nice idea to improve your work. I think, if you make the mold bigger and larger, you have a more stable one. you can squeeze it anyway and make sure the resin can flow nicely in the mold. i hope my idea can help you for better results!
