I believe 3d and 4d printing will be among the most important inventions in human history. Especially now that scientists can print food. Imagine a ship lands on Mars. It sends out a rover which builds a structure, like a robot garage. It then mines its building materials from the planet. Now it can build a base. However, it could use some assistamce. It prints another rover, who prints another rover. They build bases for the human to reside in. and so on...

Could you use zip ties or velcro straps rather than rubber bands to hold the mould? would they be more accurate for pressure?
@Gundalow3 жыл бұрын
Hello you! Fancy meeting you here! The only reason as to why I personally wouldn't use those two would be having to cut the velcro to size, making it useless for larger molds, and zip ties are 1 time use, as opposed to rubber bands being a little more reusable and versatile, but other than that I see no reason as to why they wouldn't work.

Larry I swear I randomly run into you somewhere online everyday, you're becoming a comment section staple.

Its easy to take apart when creating the mold and simple to re-build when you want to use the mold for resin pouring. I gives the cut mold form a lot of stability when pouring the resin in. For larger object the rubber bands will not hold the mold perfectly. The only negative is, if you are not careful and spill the resin on the lego, there is no way to properly clean it and ....
