Casting Brass | Sand Rammer - 3D Printed Pattern

For awhile I wanted to make a sand rammer for ramming up my sand molds. I have also wanted to try casting some brass. These two things came together when I decided to design and cast a sand rammer in brass using a 3D printed pattern.

09:05 had to rewatch this 10 times.. made my day

[@bigstackD]

Mate those came out bloody awesome👍🏻. Top job mate I wish my casting came out that good. Keep it up man👍🏻🍻👌🏻

[@AssLemons]

Well well well, fancy seeing you here ;)

Hi, I'm from Iran, your viewer, with your videos, I'm eager to do it. You are great, my friend

[@chwsfo]

Your story telling style is both engrossing and unique. Thanks for raising the bar.

[@lewiekab]

Dude. Dude!! Dude??? That was the best hot casting 3D printing tutorial I have seen. You are the man.

[@lennartbruggink15]

I really like it that you shared the entire proces and dit not left out details. This is why im subscribed;)

[@scottleft3672]

it really is satisfying when you make things by hand the first few times until you get inspired by somethng else and never get back to it....well worth the film time.....well worth the watching.

[@Jpmhp2394]

I'm learning a lot from your casting videos!!! so far I believe you do the best casting with the most narration. thanks for the knowledge

[@Grunblau]

Thanks for watching!

[@ethan073]

That is so cool!! The black paint on the brass hammer was a fantastic touch!

[@Evanator22742]

The monotone comedy got me and I have watched this before without noticing it haha love it and awesome castings

[@stepcorngrumbleteats7683]

Well Done ! A mini-Masterclass on almost every aspect of Casting. Thanks for sharing !

[@ryanstrom4484]

Let's sand cast a sand casting tool to make more sand casts of the same tool. You sir are a meta genius and I applaud you.

[@Grunblau]

Thank you!

[@pmm4177]

I seriously want a 3D printer, the possibilities are endless. awesome video!

[@supasamoa1]

you are the best metal caster on KZbin by far

[@XNY_Music]

The results speak for themselves. Just found your channel, really glad. I admire the cleanliness and efficiency of your work.

[@TheWoodWerker]

What a Cool Video Brian! I thoroughly enjoyed the entire process! Have A Super Week!..... Gus

[@augustmay444]

Great video Brian.

[@Grunblau]

+August Marcu Thanks!

[@TheRealStructurer]

Great video made of great design, production and explanation. Must feel very nice to work with these knowing you are the only one on the planet to have one!

[@buynsell365]

GREAT Job!!! Those are beautiful.

[@sjdennis]

Very well done, both of those are gorgeous! Fantastic work.

[@schwarzarne]

8:40 "I'll highlight the grip detail with black paint" Admit it, you just didn't want to file out all the tarnish, so you just painted over it. :-D turned out very nice though.

[@Grunblau]

My intention was to not have to file it at all in the grooves but I had to because of the mold lines. Then I had bright brass showing through the tarnish. Flat black paint became the obvious solution for making the grip detail the same color!

[@PatonHaus]

Amazing work! The finished products look incredible!

[@TheDutyPaid]

What a treat for a Sunday night.

[@WilliamEllison]

You can make virtually anything with that 3D printer. Bravo

[@tonyrider3]

Your videos are amazing Brian. Congratulations

[@glennworton2494]

A piece of art as well as a useful tool - Congrats !

[@NicholasHoggan]

You've made so many cool videos. This is probably one of my favorites.

[@tivnator]

Wonderful explanation :D thanks a lot. The sand rammers are just perfect!

[@chris_1337]

Wow, that's incredible work.. it's so awesome that you can prototype and make basically whatever you want, from a 3D model all the way to metal. Thanks for the video!

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

Well I am 5 years late viewing this but at least I subbed. Great job of casting.

[@EikiMartinson]

Love the logo treatment! Also, that hi-fill primer on a 3d-print is an excellent tip, thank you.

[@bearbailey007]

great video as always! love watching

[@kianostad5064]

Beautiful design, high precision and great editing. You are a real artist!

[@cartbart1]

[@TheMixmastamike1000]

Awesome project as always I can't wait to see the next one !👍👍👌😀

[@Authenticallyathena]

I have zero use for something like this but after watching it be made I want one... Awesome work

[@petert3853]

Truly, a thing of beauty, as so many of your projects are.

[@Grunblau]

+Peter T Thank you!

[@lancemumford3106]

[@daveychaz]

Outstanding work +Brian Oltrogge! Just discovered your channel a couple days ago and I'm really enjoying your vids. Brilliant, thanks for sharing your stuff! Keep em' coming please!

[@spamemail1848]

Thats the neatest mold i've ever seen and a great result too damn

[@fred98321]

Totally sweet working and video production. Watching is really enjoyable. Thank you.

[@derickkennington8468]

Very nice work. Love watching your videos! Keep doing what you do.

[@leonardodavinchie]

One of the best tutorial of casting DIY on the web...and you're very accurately in what you are doing...I suppose you're a designer or engineer. But hope there will be quickly a cheap metal 3D printer on the market....because pouring metals is dangerous.

[@Rich77UK]

You make it look so easy!

[@supergiantbubbles]

Great video. I found the sped up portions extremely satisfying. The rammers turned out great.

[@Grunblau]

Thanks!

[@michor10]

Those things look amazing!!

[@Grunblau]

+michor10 Thanks!

[@charltonwang]

Your work is absolutely impressive, I must say!

[@Grunblau]

+Charlton Wang Thanks!

[@TheMinishKid]

Fascinating! I’ll probably never do something like this, but I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Thank you! 😁

[@DC0919]

I Don't know how you manage to do it Mr Oltrogge, but you always manage to surprise me with such a great video. Thank you

[@semperparatus3685]

BRILLIANT idea X-ing the pattern to tranfer to the drag! I will incorporate that in my casting and eliminate some of the guessing. THANKS!

[@Ferelmakina]

I love it when you use the furnace. Man, this video was a lot of fun to watch. 3D printed model, molds, casting, cutting, sanding, painting, and even the final result was awesome! great work

[@Grunblau]

+Fernando Romera Thank you!

[@tomsdreamshopworx]

Great production as always! Cool piece!

[@brucemcelroy3186]

this guy has done a fair amount of ramming. subbed.

[@DC0919]

I always seem to find myself coming back to this video Mr. Oltrogee. it really is a spectacular video

[@stgray35]

Nice work, I have always fancied having a go at it myself.

[@Makercise]

Very nice looking rammers. Your setup and style are awesome! Kudos

[@Mike-sv2nu]

Dude, you are an artist.

+Mary Szczepanski Thank you!

[@centurialinc]

Awesome Brian! I have been wanting to do some 3D printing for patterns. Now after seeing you do it I will have to do a video as well. Thanks and keep it up. Best Matt

[@b5a5m5]

Another great vid! Dude keep it up. I'm always excited to see when you have a new video up!

[@joell439]

Brian, another first class idea, plan and execution, all fabulously recorded and edited for all of us to see. You are extremely talented. I really look forward to your next creative solution. Thank You sir!

[@ericfred514]

haha that sand rammer text is a tongue- twister :-) very nice work !

[@gary.arthur]

Quality. A pleasure to watch.

[@kaden56]

Goodness you do amazing work.

[@BradleyMakesThings]

Great job, Brian!

[@Wojtik042]

I like the way how first U letter resembles smiley face. :) Excellent build as ever.

[@ZENMASTERME1]

Absolutely Brilliant & Epically Freaking Awesome!

[@Elektronaut]

They look very cool.

[@GENcELL2014]

I love the noises from the sped up tapping segments! Very nice results, the fine sand first around the print master is a good idea I'm going to use when I make a sort of 3d printed desk from lattice like modular pieces. It will have an aluminum subframe for reinforcing the desk which will be cast from a 3d printed part, and the rest of the modules will be made out of resin using a silicon mold made also using 3d printed parts.

[@Grunblau]

+Shannon Williams Sounds awesome! Good luck!

[@ethanmye-rs]

Those are beautiful.

[@Omniaomnibvs]

that's great as always!!!!

[@drbahb1]

Beautiful work.

[@Grunblau]

+Bill Auger Thank you very much for your comment!

[@sithinstructor7303]

I always love your projects. You make it look easy, but I know better....
