So Simple! Using Resin 3D Printing and Epoxy to Make a Segmented Pen

[@TravisShadwick]

Zac, you are a resin wizard! What a fantastic result. Thank you for sharing your ideas and your videos. So very helpful and inspiring to me.

[@JordanWoodwerx]

Love it Zac, way cool brother! 👍🏻👍🏻

💪💪💪 🙏🙏🙏

great job Zac as always

[@ZacHiggins]

Thanks Lionel! I appreciate it 😀

A clear resin for the print would be wild if it came out really transparent. Black or navy blue for the blanks would be great with metallics in the voids. Love the creativity and innovative ideas you bring to your channel Zak.

[@ZacHiggins]

Oh yeah, that would be sweet! I'll have to print some clear ones and see how that goes, great idea!! Thanks James, I appreciate it!!

[@BadAppleWoodwerx]

That came out killer Zac! 😎 I finally did my first resin casting project this past week. Appreciate your channel helping me learn some do's and don't's of resin casting. Got a lot to learn, but I made a thing! 😁

[@ZacHiggins]

That's so cool!! I'm glad that I could help you start the journey, the sky's the limit!! 🙌🙌

Hi Zac, That is an awesome pen. I'll have a look at the Pipettes and Syringes as a good friend gave me a load of mould for Sierra Pen Kit. Great video as ever my friend. Take care Zac. Cheers, Huw PS Are you coming over for Makers Central?

[@ZacHiggins]

Thanks Huw! No, unfortunately I am not able to make it out to MC this year. Things just didn't line up. I'm looking forward to getting back next year though

[@WoodenItBeNice]

@@ZacHiggins That's a shame. Looks like I'll have to wait another year before I can buy some more of your pen blanks. 🤣🤣

Awesome

Thanks Cathy 😀

Awesome video Zac. Thanks so much. I attempted to make some 3d blanks and cast them up but the resin seemed to be very brittle and chipped away from the alumilite. Any suggestions on the resin to use or different settings for curing the 3d blanks?

[@ZacHiggins]

Thanks Jakob! I sent you a message on Patreon with info on the 3D resins I've been using as well as wash and cure times too

[@bobchronister3429]

Zac, do you ever cast "glow in the dark" blanks?

[@ZacHiggins]

I do sometimes, but not too often. The glow powder is so abrasive on saw blades that cutting up one batch of blanks, and I need to have my saw blade sharpened 😕

[@bobchronister3429]

@@ZacHiggins thanks Zac…didn’t know that about the powder.

[@davidzindman]

Zac mane you should sell som of the 3D printed blanks for people like me that don’t have 3D printera

[@ZacHiggins]

I plan to eventually, but I haven't had time to get on it yet. I'm still doing experimenting with 3D printing too, once I have everything dialed in, I'll get on it =D

[@julesthecat9404]

How do you get the resin to stay together? It looks like it’s separated in the mold.

[@ZacHiggins]

It sticks to the divisions, and in the end is one piece

[@ConnieConnie824]

❤️😍❤️

[@ZacHiggins]

Thanks Connie 😀

[@cejkwo100]

How did you get the resin out of the mold?

[@ZacHiggins]

It stays in there, you just turn it up =D
