Apex Legends Wraith Kunai Sand Cast 6061 Aluminum Alloy - 3D Print PLA to Metal - The Growing Stack

[@TheGrowingStack]

Happy Wednesday everyone. I tried my hand at sand casting some Apex Legends Kunai knives. They came out pretty good and it was a fun experience with something new to me. I hope you all enjoy, have a great day, and a great rest of your week!

Since I can not do it personally, you can feel free to pat yourself on the back.Those are excellent Kunai knives! They are beautiful. The aluminum looks like higher quality. You can def see all of the details. And they buffed up beautifully. You should feel very proud of your work! And, I'll see you next time! 😊

Always a good day when a new growing stack video/project drops!

[@TheGrowingStack]

Thank you my friend! 👍

[@shermantripp5246]

Missed u man great looking knives

[@thunderbasilisk1352]

I like the imperfections. It adds character.

[@MrJames0825]

Great job! Those have to be your best sand castings yet!

[@TheGrowingStack]

Thanks brother!!

[@KrakenCasting]

Awesome! Those turned out really good for aluminum.

[@TheGrowingStack]

Thank you friend! I was pretty happy with how they turned out.

[@JimFinlayson]

Awesome photography on the melt, I haven’t seen anyone melt that thick aluminum before, it was as mesmerizing as the molten copper. Nice job.

[@TheGrowingStack]

Thank you Jim! It was fun to melt that think of a piece. It sat there for about 8 minutes getting hot, and then, well, I showed the most exciting part. Good to hear from you!!

Cool

[@johndeyle153]

Sorry it took me so long to watch this I was out of town but these look phenomenal. I would say these are the best ones I’ve seen in your sand casting.

[@lesliek3794]

Those turned out really good! 🤩I was so glad to see another of your melts. I hope the weather there has cooled down for you. Looking forward to the next one!! 🥰

[@TheGrowingStack]

Hi Leslie! I’ve been away too long, I’ve missed your comments! It’s starting to cool down. It makes melting a little bit more enjoyable. I’ll talk to you soon! 🙂

[@streetcopper1151]

They look great 👊🏻

[@TheGrowingStack]

Thank you my friend! 👍

[@streetcopper1151]

Ya buddy 👊🏻

[@sinakaedwards2009]

loved the way they turned out, you are gwtting good. I still think you should try casting a bass body or mini bass.

[@TheGrowingStack]

Thank you Sinaka! A bass or mini bass would be awesome, I need to look into that more. Good to hear from you as always!!

[@sinakaedwards2009]

@@TheGrowingStack I figure on a full size or short scale bass the body would be easier to cast by itself. Ibanez mikro is perfect because of the smaller soundgear body. However, there are a ton of clones out there and can be found at a pawn shop usually under $100. or any guitar body really, awesome cheap metal looking guitars can be found everywhere.

Great casting! I know i might have mentioned this before but some day i am going to cast a tiffany style staindglass lamp base. Watching your channel make me want to try sooner. Cheers from Wisconsin!

[@lisazdankiewicz8846]

I can tell already that this is going to be one sick video !! I cant wait to see how they turn out. They turned out great !! I would sharpen the blade part. What a fantastic addition to the Growing Stack !! One day I would love to see you do a sword in all Nordic Gold and give it all a mirror shine. I know, easy for me to say LOL I have been following you for a long time and you have turned what you do into a art. Thanks for sharing !!

[@TheGrowingStack]

Thank you so much Lisa! I love your feedback. A sword in Nordic Gold would be pretty sweet! I’ll put that in my fishbowl of ideas to try. Thank you for always being here and I’ll talk to you soon! 👍

[@irishsakura1]

Fantastic editing! I always like the guitar music at the beginning of each video and I was surprised and pleased to hear one of my favorite video game theme playing. Great seeing you and I hope you and yours are doing well!🙂

[@TheGrowingStack]

Thank you Irish! Your comments make my day, and I love hearing from you! I’m glad you liked this one, it was really fun and I hope you are doing wonderful as well!! 🙂🙂

[@empirefinds]

Can not wait to see the bronze version brother I would love to do some sandcasting I will eventually get round to it. Awesome episode brother 😊

[@TheGrowingStack]

Thanks brother! I definitely want to try a bronze version for sure 👍

[@jeffreyc9183]

Nice work

[@TheGrowingStack]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@silverfoxcastings]

great job were you been bro🤘

[@TheGrowingStack]

Missing you guys is where I’ve been! I’ve been so busy and work had me tied up for about a month. Glad to finally get back to the fun stuff!

[@silverfoxcastings]

Same here

[@charitybrown4274]

Great Video!!👍

[@TheGrowingStack]

Thank you Charity! I appreciate you and I hope you’re doing well!!

[@danaedwards5464]

nice work and i guess a better grade of aluminum helps with the results

[@TheGrowingStack]

Thank you Dana, I think that’s the way to go to get the best results!

[@MASI_forging]

Nice work dude 😃😃

[@TheGrowingStack]

Thank you!!! 👍

[@jean-jacqueslesenfant3347]

Bon travail 👍👍⚔️

Thank you!!

[@madfartman6186]

Hi Mr. Stack, I’m very new to your channel and am very interested in doing similar things that you are doing. I wanted to ask if for an upcoming video if you could maybe put in subtitles what the tools you used are called, or maybe a beginners guide to casting and forging things like this. I love the idea of sand casting and would love to learn from you. Thanks!

[@TheGrowingStack]

Thank you my friend! I’ll try and include as much detail as possible on the tools and devices I am using in the video. Glad to have you here! 👍

[@zazz69ed]

Hey my friend!! Great to see you again!! was worried I might not catch another of your videos before my heart surgery on the 16th next month.. Was a great melt.. so is 6061 a softer version of standard aluminum?? It poured awesome and the knives turned out great... even the imperfections seemed to add to them rather than take away.. Hope you got some cooler weather finally... we have had a week in the 80's and down into the 60's at night.. is a good deal LOL I know out there is just as hot like we are here..I saved and got a small cheap furnace and am hoping to get going soon.. but got to invest in the tank and other items... Where did you get your crucible from and the pourer... The same place as the casting sand?? Well always great to see another project down and looking good... Be safe and much love and respect my friend...and as always thanks for any info too!!!

[@TheGrowingStack]

I hope everything goes well on the 16th my friend! You’ll be fine, just stay positive, good energy coming your way! I’ve heard 6061 is good for machining, extruding, known for its strength and corrosion resistance mainly. I’ve heard it’s great for casting, albeit more expensive to just melt down. It worked pretty well so I’m happy with it for sure. It has been cooler, I’m definitely thankful for that. I get my crucibles from PMC supplies(they sell them on Amazon also) and the pouring tool and lifters I made from flat steel. I wish you the best and I’ll try and get some more melts up as soon as possible!

[@lonniedavis4005]

Where do you get aluminum like that. Also I seen in previous videos when you go to hardware store and buy ingots. Not hardware store near me has anything like that. In ohio.

[@TheGrowingStack]

I got that aluminum from that same store. It’s industrial metal supply in Phoenix AZ. 👍

[@brettlejeune7009]

Dude those look great. How hard would it be to do one of those grem Reapers you have?

[@TheGrowingStack]

Thank you! I think I would need to do the whole plaster cast, burn out method. I’ve been wanting to get the tools to do that for a long time. One of these days I will and expand my abilities. 👍

[@brettlejeune7009]

@@TheGrowingStack I'll be waiting here for when you do

[@indigoblack7007]

Hey, I was just wondering if you anodised these?
