Pro tip: insert screws into the brass threads. Make sure the screw is long enough that the bolt head sticks out above the silicone. Now when you pour the second half, your silicone will be threaded. When you're going to cast the part, insert the screw into the silicone, then on the inside screw on the threaded insert. Cast away. Now you've casted around your threaded insert and saved yourself a step. 100% repeatable accuracy 👌
But this particular part calls for threaded brass inserts!
@@HAMMER_2.2 Yes. But, as Benjamin proposes, you can then use the screws to install the inserts into the mold before casting the resin. The inserts will then be imbedded into the resin part after curing, without the need for installing the inserts after demolding. That's what they do with injection molding. They make features into the metal mold and a technician installs the inserts into the mold before pushing plastic into it. The part comes out of the mold with inserts.
Brilliant!
@@123456789wil1 It all depends from which side this screws in. If you create a inverted thread not only its useless but ruins the entire mold, creating extra work and bigger mold box etc is a waste of time and space so as waste of materials. Besides silicone molds are one thing while metal molds are a different world.
Yups, just what I would have done too.... But Eric, this is a great video. Thanks. Yet again
Wow! 1 million steps! The most labor intensive process I've ever seen to duplicate a n object...
Woah!? The process is no joke man... Take a lot of professional tools which is pricey too... and A LOT of patience. Salute! 🥳
You don't need a laser. You don't even need a vacuum chamber, in fact you can certainly do it with barely any tools at all except some popsicle sticks, sulphur free plastoline and some plastic cups. But then you'll need some hobby knives and wet and dry sand papers and plastic polish and cotton rags to fix it up because the bubbles in the mould will make extra lumps you'll have to get rid of.
@@cianmoriarty7345 Agreed. I've low budgets my way through this, even making my own vacuum chamber out of some household items. A hose attached to my compressor where the intake filter would go and that attaches to a fitting epoxied under and through an upside down plywood box. I use laminate cabinet board for top ( I don't want a perfect vacuum implosion. You don't need a perfect seal). Set a heavy pyrex bowl over your epoxy so you can see and regulate the bubbles; turning compressor on/off when needed. I wear protection just in case, but haven't had an issue yet. If I do more plastics, I'll get a chamber eventually so I don't have to constantly baby the degassing.
This channel is THE place to be if you're confused, or feel you miss info on these processes. Everytime i watch you, i like to make stuff, can't explain it 🤣
When I was a young art school student, I'd have murdered for a class like this! Industrial design should be included even in basic entry level art classes as it's not only intriguing, but practical! Thank you!
You're most welcome.
Art school is a bad joke compared to what came before. Look at the old masters. They started apprenticed to a master who ran a workshop. They did everything from mull the paints, boil the rabbit hides to make the glue, mix it with marble dust generated in the studio from sculpture that they had swept up from the floor to make gesso to size the canvas, even do a lot of the laying down of solid colour for the master. Everything _practical._ They all were taught in and produced for money pieces in all of the all the fine arts media of the time: sketching with silverpoint and charcoal, painting with oil, tempera and fresco, gilding, scupture in clay, stone and bronze. Though many workshops and masters were more famous for one than the other. And they would proceed to build their skills mastering the simple things then building on that, one technique and aspect of various media, one after the other, in definite, teachable and reproducible steps. Using any and all mechanical aide they could. Until they were a master of it all themselves. Then drawing on their experience the eye they'd develop, and their God given talent hopefully they would then be able to execute a beautiful and inspiring, sometimes even sacred work of art for their patron, and much of the work might not even be done directly by them, but by the next generation of apprentices under their tutelage. Today that's seen as pedestrian, mechanical, cheap, and dishonest cheating. That "real" art is created by some sort of mystical apotheosis. That's nothing but a big fat lie that those who have somehow chanced upon artistic talent tell everyone else so they have as little competition as possible! And the really fucked up thing about it is *most of those couldn't make a decent likeness to save themselves.* That doesn't mean every piece of art should be realism. But the skills of being able to bring something to mind and create its likeness in your medium is _exactly_ the skills you need to come up with _any_ sort of artistic vision and bring it into being as an actual artist work. Never has an artist been disadvantaged by being able to draw or paint an accurate portrait, realistic landscape or convincing still life nor was a sculptor ever hampered by a knowledge of anatomy and ability to see it all in motion in their head whatever in pose they fancied, and put it all into a lively maquette.
I have watched numerous mold-making videos over the past six years, and I must say, this video is undoubtedly the best one I have ever seen. The execution is flawless, my friend.
The Narration?..How could you stand it?..Seriously..I wanted to watch this but The speaking cadence, repetition and monotony made me physically Ill.. (by 3 min in).. it looks great but the Speaking..
Your from what part of the planet?
i haven't seen another video in my life @43 yo without moving an inch. learned a lot thank you for all this work you put into this
Using wires for vents and the stick to stop the silicone in the main container from making a mess when pouring = masterful!! Thank you!
How beautifully you teach. I hope that God will give you everything you ask for, along with health for you and your respected family
Thanks
wow...... know I know why I appreciate guys like you..........! I have zero patience to do all this!
Always enjoyable an interesting content, Eric. Nice looking molded part. Appreciate the work you put into these. Nicely produced. Rock on.
I love that you have used some cool resources in this video like the laser for precision and speed. If you have cool tools, use em.
Just had this video recommended by KZhead. Great mix of practical knowledge and simple explanation. I don't have a use right now, but the video is saved and the knowledge is filed away in my brain for when I do.
Excellent demonstration. The use of white glue is a great suggestion. I've often used double sided tape to secure small parts, but the glue looks like a great idea!
I know you’re an industrial designer when the first 5 pointless steps of: scan, p-shop, laser, scribe, drill press could have just been “hack out a rough couple of oversized holes for the bosses.” 😝 the rest of the video was invaluable, thanks!
Thanks for another awesome tutorial Eric! Also thanks for the BJB material shout-out, the parts look perfect. Your mold making methods are professional and practical at the same time all while showing better ways to mold parts.
Thanks man, I really appreciate your support as well, excellent products and delightful service 🙂👍
Absolutely
@@EricStrebel Hi Eric how much do u charge to make a mold?
Depends on the complexity, scale etc....
Great! I watched some videos on copying objects, but this one reveals all the do's and don'ts. Thank you very much for the contribution. That if I already see that you have to buy a few pieces of equipment, and if you are an amateur... anyway, it is a great video to start the process of copying 3D printed objects.
Thanks for teaching us your knowledge and tricks Eric!
I used to watch my mom do this kind of work when I was a kid. Gorgeous work sir.
Unbelievable, thank you for sharing your years of accumulated experiences and knowledge. Even though I will not use this know how watching your work I felt weirdly happy that I have witnessed it. Because for a guy 55yo it is amazing to see how human knowledge has been exponentially growing. Since 1973 and Turkey (as far as I remember things) up to day 2023 global village. Thank you
Love the guitar 🎸 cover at the end. Excellent video 👏🏻
You should look into making the backmounts for the hmmwv gauges. These parts are unavailable to the market yet many of these are degraded since most released hmmwv trucks are old. Love the video.
incredible amount of work, respect
Excellent Sir. From Pakistan ❤
Great video - you give away so many PRO tips. Thank you.
Nicely filmed, good explanation. Thank you!
Wow , such a beautiful job. Really professional. Good job.
Very informative! You are a true craftsman. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
A heck of a job! Great! Thanks for the tips.
cool video and nice tutorial... I might be able to make do without vacuum or pressure chambers for my needs! Thanx!
This is what I was looking for it, this was an amazing video! Thank you
Thanks for sharing your experience!❤
An absoluteley perfect copy. Awesome!
Cool. I don't have laser scattering rquipment not a pressure chamber.... Bety useful video still. Thanks
Thanks for your vids. As a ID student they are very helpful
Thank you Eric. That was great. A specially when you get a final product as polished and nice looking :)
Thanks
I love this channel immensely. Thank you sir.
Awesome Tutorial buddy! Thank You for sharing!
Awesome video and excellent tutorial. Thanks for sharing!!
*This is a very great method to make alot of stuff. Thanks for sharing*
Super interesting, informative and concise. Cheers dude.
It's dangerously inspiring to watch you, Eric. Every time, I think "Hey, I can do that! I just need to get a vacuum chamber and some silicone and resin..". Thank you for the awesome content!
I like dangerously inspiring, love it, thanks, I am humbled
@@EricStrebel Any idea how to make a mock up of an existing small engine? Trying to find a way to make a cheap and rough copy/mock up of a 4 banger engine with 1.2 L, super small. Styrofoam and expanding styrofoam are my current favourites, tho Im unsure how to start copying a real 3D model
Very interesting, I’ve seen a guy use Lego blocks as the box around his molding. No screws needed and you can make any size you want. Keep the videos rolling in…
Kiwami Japan did that
Awesome video but i would of loved to have seen it completed with the added brass.
In this case it is something the client handled, thus not included in the video
basic but masterpiece or should i say fool-proof, thank you for this video sir.
Very well made very interesting but looks like a lifetimes of experience needed for that
I don't even have a part to make now, but after watching the video, I need to try this!
Very good and informative video. Learned a lot. Thank you.
Thanks for the video and info!!
Great video. Clear instructions. Excellent copies. Mahalo for sharing! 🙂🐒
Nice work! You provide good and useful content.
Great video, but I just wanted to make a part for a $20 tortilla press, and buying all this specialized equipment seems like overkill. Seriously, though, I know I will need to make a few purchases to get into casting stuff. I am a maker, but right now that's 3D printing, wood working, electronics, and thermoforming. That's already taking up too much space I don't have... but silicone and resin casting would be a great addition.
I haven't seen the 'heat up the clay' tip anywhere! Seems like a no-brainer, but it never occurred to me. I'm adding that to my personal 'pro casting tips' list. Thanks!
If you put the clay in a Fridge you can 'Shave' it with a scraper blade, get clean hard edges and even sort of Polish the surface with solvents :)
Awesome reproduction. Thanks for sharing you wealth of knowledge.
Absolutly fantastic… everything
Thank you for sharing and for your time I know how laborious making a quality video is. The music suggests that you are a follower of the way
This is the way
Perfect work! Nice video 👍🏻
Another excellent video. Thank you
Very well explained, thanks. 👍
you have all the great tools.. you did a great job.. I have a tripod and one plastic lock of a leg is missing now I need to know what could be the best way to make a similar lock.. I was thinking to 3D print it.. please guide..
Try and see if that works. Good luck
Thanks, for this instructions, it's great. Best Regards from Germany, Friesland ... Erik .. german like, with k at the end.
Thanks for posting. Excellent 😊
What a great tutorial!
Make a Resin copy is easy. Redesigning a copy of an object to be just as strong or stronger than the original for 3D Printing is harder. I often go through a few prototypes to get it just right.
Interesting video. Long process. Guess I'm just used to throwing it into SolidWorks and 3D printing whatever I need.
Yeah, not everything comes with data or even has data that is easy to create
Awsome video , thank you very much for the sharing
wow that`s some detail its even copied the fine scratches. im trying to copy a long since discontinued rc car part
Ingenious! Great video
Very informative; thank you for posting😎👍
Eric, great job
Wow best vajayo ever on how to make a mold and cast parts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in the one vid you explained so many of little details of casting like placement of sprue holes why and how and use of gravity etc. absolutely great!!!! can you ballpark cost of to make a mold like that. The cost of resin to make finished part like that ?
Thank you !
Great stuff, learned a lot, thanks :)
You make it look easy.
Thanks
Super nice video, very easy to understand and simple thank you so much Can you please make one video of a plastic gearbox please
Wow! a master of your craft ;)
awesome job.
Thanks
thanks for sharing.
Hello, Im a big fan. Your channel has really helped me build some of my ideas which would not have made it to the real world otherwise.
This is sol satisfying to watch. But I would just scan and 3d print it;)
Estuvo genial felicidades por tanta habilidad 👍🏻🖐🏻
Excellent !
Thank you
Neat! I am thinking of casting some hubcaps that are silver in colour. Any tips on the best type of resin to use that would give a silvery look to it? Failing that, a conductive resin that could be chrome-plated?
Wow Eric you are awesome
great video !!
Liked! Very good!
nice man really informative
What an amazing video. I want to do the opposite of what you did and want to make small silicone parts. Do you have any video or tricks so i can make a similar two part resin mold in which i can cast silicone?
Nice result.
Very well done. Pro status 🙏🕊
Good Job. Thanks for sharing. ;-)
Great video!!!!!!
Dat deden we in 2003 al te veel gedoe. Ouddated!!!!
Pretty amazing work. Liked and Subbed.
Thanks! Muck appreciated
@@EricStrebel Simply stating a fact from my point of view. Enjoyed the narration, and easy manner. The intellect shines through the effort, a real strong dichotomy exists between mind and hand, where often they do not jibe, you seem to be able to make things as you see them in your mind. Amazing work.
Excellent
Wonderful!
Lovely !!!
Very nice work, very professional looking part. You should have a 5 axis cnc mill to make a bunch of molds out of aluminum. I just bought one and it cost me 3,700 CDN. It might a great investment for you.
Great Video
