ADPTraining thanks

[@rolandow2]

Did you make his video already?

[@sultan7679]

@@ADPTraining have you made it? please reply

[@ADPTraining]

Oh boy, had no idea people were so interested in mold making... Anyhow, subscribe my site autodiagnosticsandpublishing.com/ I'm always giving free stuff. Also, see my DIY KITS.

[@v8berenguer372]

Another great video. Thanks.

[@fredrickwelch5678]

Hi, I know this an old video but I ahevnt seen anyone do this quite as well as you!! If you could list the products you use in this video and also how do you make the silicone mould so accurately ??

[@ADPTraining]

SmoothOn is the brand. Mold master is made out of wood or some other material. Use your enginuity.

[@orockemmanuel7796]

Hi thank for that

Wish you would use your own voice on the other videos. Much more employable. Love this hobby stuff, that is why youtube suggestions showed me this video. Subscribed to you and Ave channel

how can i get those mixing compounds ( Epoxy and plastic) in Nepal .

[@ADPTraining]

Climb up Everest and there's a store there.

[@ftwproject658]

Great video. Please what did you use to paint the epoxy case, and what was used for the finishing? Thanks.

[@ADPTraining]

So this was the old Epoxy by a company called SmoothOn. Then I started using SmoothOn Onyx, which is a black Epoxy that needs no paint. Onyx is also made by SmoothOn. The Onyx comes in two flavors, Fast and Slow. The fast Onyx dries in 5 minutes and you need to move fast. I do all my enclosure using the fast Onyx for mass production. I hope that helps out. It took me a long time to discover this Epoxy thanks to a friend of mine, John Zeidec a tough czech American from New Jersey that passed away in 2017 in West Virginia. My friend.

[@uiticus]

Are you able to make the mold for the hobbyist or does the hobbyist have to make the mold? Thanks

[@ADPTraining]

The user makes the molds only ounce

[@K_Rose_b]

What is that off white material you are using for your prototype that you show right in the beginning? I understand the molding process, but I'm trying to research the best way to make the plug.

[@ADPTraining]

It's the epoxy for the cast, actual enclosure. It's from a company called Smoothon in PA. So is the mold silicone. They're a life saver for prototyping. You said "Best way to make plug?", What's that mean? Thanks for posting.

[@K_Rose_b]

@@ADPTraining The plug is what the "original" item that you are casting is called. I've seen people make their plugs out of foam, or 3d print them. But that case is kinda big to 3d print (for a small desktop printer), and I dont think you can get that level of fine detail with foam.

[@ventmistral2156]

Thank you.

Thanks for posting.

This shaping shade where available and of which made

[@ADPTraining]

Yes it's available. www.autodiagnosticsandpublishing.com/Stress_Loaded_Tester.html

[@vwpac]

the most important part is how to construct the mold

[@ADPTraining]

That's easy, just pour the silicone over the master. autodiagnosticsandpublishing.com/

[@kennyboyer5479]

Hmm can I use cardboard with this and then use the epoxy plastic

[@ADPTraining]

No. It'll stick

[@kennyboyer5479]

@@ADPTraining can I use air dry clay and cardboard and model the design with air dry clay or if not what else could I use

[@kennyboyer5479]

Wait lol where can I get a silicon like any different kinds

[@ADPTraining]

Read the description. It's all there. Company called smoothon

[@hirencancer5370]

Mixture???

[@ADPTraining]

50 - 50

[@KCBhandy]

Why not 3D print?

[@ADPTraining]

The finish on lower end 3D prints is not that great. This level of finish is unrivaled. High end 3D prints are great, but at very high machine costs. A few years back I built my own 3D printer and experimented a lot. Soon it'll be factible to 3D print all kinds of stuff.
