Hey everyone, so I haven’t done a lot of melts lately as I’ve been really busy and this summer has just been really hot outside. On top of that I’ve been spending a lot of time 3D modeling some new designs which you’ll see in upcoming videos. Today’s video is one of those designs I modeled up so I hope you all enjoy it. If you have any ideas for something I should model, let me know. 👍🏻 Enjoy and have a great weekend!

Do you sell any of your 3D printed coin patterns? I've been casting for several years, but I don't have a 3D printer and doubt that I ever purchase one (I have too many projects going on, and my time is short.) I looked at your "store" and the only item that I'm seeing is a pillow. I need molds and patterns. Stay cool, stay thirsty, my friend!

I agree! I'm a retired FF/Paramedic and I've been watching his channel for years, and I've built several beer-keg foundrys and have been casting myself, but I don't have any 3D printers to make my own patterns.

Glad to see you survived this summer in LV. The Joker side looks amazing! I think the face was just too flat on the Harley side? No fault of the cast. I thought the swarf would make a ton of dross like cans. I guess we didn't really get to see.

Is there a way to reduce pitting, as seen in 11:54, or does it come with the casting method (or the alloy)? The coin came out perfectly, especially with the sand blaster + wire brush finish - I just want to know whether an investment in metal filler might be worth the trouble when I eventually get my foundry set up. Also, thank you for making these videos. They're always educational, and more importantly - a lot of fun.
@ArtByAdrock
@ArtByAdrock 2 ай бұрын
The pitting is usually from gas bubbles. You could degas it before pouring I just don’t. There’s a lot of factors that go into it but I won’t go into all that. Metal filler could be worth it but for me and projects I do for fun it’s not worth it to me.
@beefan1596
@beefan1596 2 ай бұрын
@@ArtByAdrock I'll have to look into degassing. From what little I know of it, the equipment costs might get pretty high, so I may just stick with metal filler or even go without either. Thank you for the reply, and have a good rest of your day.

@ArtByAdrock
@ArtByAdrock 2 ай бұрын
You would think so but no. For something this size it would take forever to deep engrave and probably wouldn’t be able to go deep enough cause it would lose focus. You could CNC it but on metal it would still take a very long time. I’m running a deep engrave on steel right now and it’s been going already for 6 hours and it’s only 1” wide.

Did you model, or sculpt the bas relief of the Joker in blender, or did you obtain the relief of the Joker elsewhere and then put it in the coin in blender? I'm new to this so don't know what's possible in blender.

That is a really nice coin. I don't care for for the subject as it is the villain, but its yours, not mine. Can your coins be flatter? Can they still contain the great detail if they are not high relief? Are you able to cjange that? Just a thought I had.
