Welcome to an exciting crafting adventure where we explore the art of creating sacred icons through the magic of 3D printing, silicone molding, and plaster casting! In this DIY project, I'll guide you step-by-step through the intricate process of crafting your own sacred icons using innovative techniques and materials.
First, we'll dive into the world of 3D printing, harnessing the power of technology to bring our sacred designs to life in stunning detail. Watch as we transform digital blueprints into tangible objects, laying the foundation for our sacred creations.
Next, we'll embark on a journey into the realm of silicone molding. With precision and care, we'll craft custom silicone molds from our 3D-printed masterpieces, capturing every intricate detail with unparalleled accuracy. It's a mesmerizing process that bridges the gap between digital and physical artistry.
Once our silicone molds are ready, it's time to delve into the ancient art of plaster casting. With a delicate touch and a keen eye for detail, we'll pour plaster into our molds, breathing life into our sacred icons with each carefully executed pour. The result? A collection of stunning, one-of-a-kind pieces that embody the essence of craftsmanship and devotion.
Whether you're a seasoned crafter or a newcomer to the world of DIY projects, this video offers something for everyone. Join me on this sacred journey of creation and discovery, and let's craft something truly extraordinary together!

Question: Why print it standing up instead of on its back? It seems like you could add extra detail that way, since they’d be overhangs while standing up

Excellent process and lovely finish. My 'devoted assistants' are also far too interested when i'm printing, mould-making or resin-casting, they're no longer allowed in the workshop :) I make and sell coasters and coaster holders so my shapes are far simpler than the piece you have here, i 3d print them, coat them in epoxy resin to smooth the print and then make the silicone moulds from that. Liked and subbed :)

[@DoasIDo2]

Thank you very much for appreciating my work! Your option is interesting, I want to try it too. Thank you very much for subscribing and good luck to you!

Buen tutorial. Pero la asistente se ganó el 👍

[@DoasIDo2]

Muchas gracias!

[@jimintaos]

Really nice technique and great results. My only suggestion would be to cast the hanging brackets in place. The bits of cardboard and string don't do justice to the quality work you did on this. Also-I never ever trust glue alone for hanging anything heavier than a paper airplane.

[@DoasIDo2]

Thank you very much for appreciating my work and thanks for the advice!

@@DoasIDo2 Good morning, starting 3d printing, Do you use school glue to improve the bonding layer? It works well? THANKS.

Yes, I always use school glue, it works great. But not every glue is good for this, you need to choose the optimal one.

It’s all cute until the cat drinks the plaster and ends up with a cast of its stomach.

[@argedoargedo7834]

Özenli çalışma 😊

[@DoasIDo2]

Teşekkür ederim!

[@AckzaTV]

13:46 wow looks like chocolate or silver, looks fun to touch, it seems so familiar too, very christmasy, so how many silicon molds can you make from 1 3d printed wax mold anmd cant you just use regular pla to make a silicon mold? and then youc an pour molten metal intoa silicon mold righty?

[@DoasIDo2]

Yes, you can use a ready-made plate to make a silicone mold. I only make castings from plaster so far; I haven’t gotten to metal casting yet.

[@CBeleznai]

Great stuff! Why do you print it vertically? Better definition of surface structure? Thanks

[@DoasIDo2]

Thank you very much! With this printing arrangement, the model turns out to be of higher quality.

[@DJEmk31]

to take away please. was about to do pretty much this :D

[@gz625]

Really cool process but I would add wall hangers at the stage of filling the form. These glue gun ropes looks absolutely not convincing

[@DoasIDo2]

Thank you very much! Yes, I agree with you. I completely forgot about the hangers when I was pouring the plaster, so I had to improvise. But I admit, these hangers with glue turned out to be quite reliable

[@zk_6312]

Good job except for the string on the back. You should use picture hanging wire.

[@raymond6845]

Wow, this comes at the perfect time for a project I want to make! Thank you! Can I ask what the different colors of silicone meant? You started out with a red/peach, and then moved to a blue for the second pour, and then an even deeper blue for the last Thank you for the inspiration!

[@DoasIDo2]

Thank you very much! Different colors of silicone are needed so that I can see where I applied it. If the silicone is the same color, then when applying the second and third layers it is difficult to see where the silicone is and where it is not. I hope I explained it well

[@raymond6845]

@@DoasIDo2 Explained very well! I never thought of that, but I can see how that is something that could be an issue. Thank you for the tip!

[@JurassicJordan]

This is amazing. But why not skip the mould making process and just print it inverted, perhapse out of TPU for the ability to bend the mold once printed

[@DoasIDo2]

Thank you very much! It is with this arrangement that the print quality is as high as possible. And with TPU it's a good idea!

[@SpotterSky]

WOW

[@DoasIDo2]

Thank you!

[@Capturing-Memories]

With a 8k resin printer you can achieve the same smoothness with better details, Flex resin makes the mold directly with no negative.

[@DoasIDo2]

Thanks I know. I'm saving money to buy a resin printer.

[@williamkimmick3977]

Resin prints have a tendency to inhibit the silicone from curing. It can be done but a lot more prep is needed in sealing the surface. PLA is a great choice in this case.

[@Capturing-Memories]

@@williamkimmick3977 They do require a curing step after the print is done either by UV light or sun light.

[@DoasIDo2]

@@williamkimmick3977 Thank you very much for the advice!

was it the acrylic lacquer that melted the plastic to remove the layer lines on the initial print?

[@fedegibsonlespaul]

Hello. Great job! I'm interested in making my 3d prints in metal. What would be a good material for making a mould that would endure hot metal while giving a "high definition", sharp imprint? I'd imagine silicone moulds would burn/melt? So If anyone has tried it out I'd be keen to hear your thoughts, thank you

[@DoasIDo2]

Hello! Thank you very much! I heard that there is silicone for making metal casting molds. Search the Internet, you'll probably find it.
