3D Printing & Metal Casting

[@castingtechnology3338]

I also love working in metal. This is all right on my wheelhouse. I also do Silicone and plastic casting, just more ways to make and replicate things. I'm so glad I found your channel

[@eviltwinx]

Hey, that’s great! My first casting project was with JB Weld. Glad you found my channel!

[@swdweeb]

Hey, likin' what I'm seeing at 9:16 😄😄 Thanks for the shout out bud.

[@eviltwinx]

You got it man. I’ve learned a ton from you and it’s the least I can do for someone who’s giving so much to the maker community!

[@jster1963]

I'm going to have to learn how to use my sons.....

[@eviltwinx]

Jster! I bet you’ve been toying with the idea already! Definitely give it a shot.

[@RPMechanics]

Really nice add to the arsenal of tools! Good vid.

[@eviltwinx]

Thanks RP! Yea, I highly recommend one. You can get a decent one for a reasonable price.

[@RustyGlovebox]

Great looking printer and it will be a handy in making some of your next forms for casting

[@eviltwinx]

For a 5 year old printer, it works and I get pretty decent prints.

[@eviltwinx]

Thanks man for the awesome comment! You always send positive vibes my way and it’s much appreciated! I’m trying my best to keep the videos coming. I was laid off from work recently- which sucks but I have more free time on my hands to indulge in my hobbies.

[@shepardsforgeh2031]

@@eviltwinx that sucks butt! However I am digging the fresh and new content! You will never loose me as a subscriber man! We are in this love of craft together!

[@WideVisionMetalFab]

@@eviltwinx Oh, sorry to hear that you were laid off! A 3d printer is on my list of wants, and my wife's list too. Maybe someday.

[@eviltwinx]

@@WideVisionMetalFab Thanks man. You can get a pretty decent one for under $500 now a days.

[@Lazywatchsmith]

Good stuff. The lost pla thing is not worth it. Just go with greensand

[@eviltwinx]

Thanks for the heads up Lazy! I think in my supplies I have what I need to make green sand.

[@ironhead65]

Do you like the makerbot? Hiw much fiddling do you do to get it to work?

[@eviltwinx]

I hate to admit it, but I do. Now, I don’t have much hands on with other machines so keep that in mind. What I like is that it’s easy, has WiFi, fairly simple bed leveling, a camera, and pretty good prints. Impressive for a machine that’s over 5 years old. I got this from work. It wasn’t working and they were going to get rid of it.

[@eviltwinx]

Oh. And not much fiddling to get prints. The software is very basic and easy to use. Not great for advanced users who want more options.

[@ChirpysTinkerings]

I personally dont care for tinkercad, I usually use freecad, which I have tied in with the 3d printing slicer and such, so it's easy to use for me once you get acquainted with it. 3d printers are nice for smaller and more intricate patterns, but usually I find it faster and easier to just make them out of wood usually, lol. I was wondering if you were on discord, if so, hit me up at Chirpy@7075.

[@eviltwinx]

Thanks Chirp! I’ll look into it and discord.
