The fact that Robert, here, calls Bionicle "classic" makes me all the more happy to see this video pop up in my recommended feed. Edit: Also, Robert, that part is the Kanohi Avohkii, the Great Mask of Light. To my knowledge, there have been three colors of the official mask: Silver (the one you used for the casting and molding), "dull gold," or "old gold," and a weird sort of sparkly transparent version that would usually take place of the dull/old gold one in certain "special" sets of Takanuva (in which the part originated, along with fellow titan set, "Makuta," which is where the silver version comes from, forming hands)

For that type of object is where I use a syringe, and the results I have had have been excellent, no bubbles, only burr (flash) that if you arrange the parting line well it is not noticeable and it is easy to clean, what I do is that in a two-part mold, I place the vents facing the mold, where they protrude in the solid part of the silicone and not in the part where it cuts and opens, when the pieces come out they look like the plastic pieces in the molds of injection of a factory

This is fascinating. I know you probably know nothing of the stories behind these, but your entire process for molding and casting the mask just feels, so perfect for the stories. They were always stored upside down, in canisters that we were supposed to imagine were pressurised, that had floated across an ocean. It's perfect for them, despite the intensity of mass-production; story wise, they were, of course, supposed to be close to one of a kind - only ever up to 6 of a particular design.

It was a deep pour and the resin wasn’t. So, I used a old neck and back vibrating massager on the underside, packed the sides in ice and refrigerated it for 24 hrs. to slow the cure and avoid an exo-thermic reaction.. much to my amazement, it worked! It was bubble free and turned out really beautiful. I’m excited to one day try my hand at making molds. Thanks for all the great info!

Hi Robert, Fun channel! Vacuum forming may be a good solution for the lamp shade project. 1/8 inch plexy or acrylic would work. Simple mold/form. Bead blast for frost finish... make 2 for matched set. ; ) Could also use your molds and a clear thickened resin. Fill mold and use inner to squash the resin. May have a thicker parting line but who cares! For the glass dome. Try making a glove mold outer mold with split shell. Then make a fairly stiff core glove mold. Pour the clear in the gap with a riser. Should make a part with no parting lines and better wall thickness consistency.

Ok, so I have a question Robert, would vibrating the mold encourage the air to rise (like in concrete) help or hurt? I’m torn on wether it would cause issues with the parting line, cause leaks, encourage more bubbles or help?

If you look closely you will see that I was vibrating the mold by hand as I poured it. There is so much interest in vibration that just this week I resurrected my old vibrating table so we can play with it in future videos. But truthfully I have never found it to be as effective as pressure casting.

Have you ever tried a centrifuge? It would not need to spin very fast.. just enough to induce higher gravity to force flow evenly throughout the mold.

For many years I have been making prototypes for a company that produces products by spin casting. I don't spin cast myself because I'm not a production casting shop. I am a sculptor/prototype maker. So pressure pots are all I need.

@@RobertTolone Roger that... and thank you for taking the time to respond. You are a true craftsman and artist. However, your message sounded like it is impossible to get resin flow into areas without doing a magical swishing method. Just wondering if a centrifuge (not the type used for roto-molding) would do a much better job.

Casting is great for material choice but in the end, you have to tailor your choice of method to the part, or the part to the method. Slim, complex components just aren't reliably castable, so the next option is to change methods, namely to 3D modeling and SLA printing.

Interesting casting, even with that geometry, it seems like the more “pits” the more difficult it is to push the air out. High pressure injection molding you can force the air to fill the part. You have thought about it, because when you make the mold you vent it where you do. You ever make a mold and, cast a part , then think what if I moved this here and that there, try it and it works better? Adding more vents in the trouble area help on something like this, or does it just make it more difficult to clean up post casting? As always Robert, great video, learning more and more you are the master caster. Thanks for sharing.

@michaelstephenson7264 3 жыл бұрын
to eliminate those bubbles, you need to cast your rubber molds under pressure as well. the flaws are from your resin being pressurized into a weak point on the mold (likely a bubble trapped while curing.)
@RobertTolone
@RobertTolone 3 жыл бұрын
When a mold has a bubble in it, the casting has a bump where are the resin was forced into the mold. My casting flaws were voids, not bumps. And I never, ever pressurize rubber while it’s curing because you risk destroying the model if it has voids inside of it. This I learned the hard way early in my career.

@@michaelstephenson7264 It you are certain of your models then you won’t harm them by subjecting them to vacuum or pressure.

Make a two part mold, core and cavity, part fill the cavity and then plunge the core into it from above. For this you need good indexing, tooth picks work well. If there are any bubbles, vent the core by cutting tiny vents into the core at the problem areas.

Thank for the suggestion Greg, I appreciate your input. I evaluate my methods by doing time/material studies. I’d love to see one on your method. Keep careful track how how long it takes you to make the two-part mold. Then time how long it takes to make each casting as well as how long it takes to clean the flash from those 100% parting lines and all those little tiny vents. Count up the bubbles too because I guarantee you’re still going to get some. Also measure how much resin waste you get with the plunge method. Let me know the results. Gotta be honest - I expect the method I use will deliver much cleaner castings in 1/4 of the time.

Would this work better if you designed the mold for injecting the resin? Like using a syringe... I'm just curious. I have a project where I am injecting urethane resin with a large syringe. The part is much larger, but it is thin, between 1-3mm thickness. (BTW, I like the pressure chambers. Simple and effective.
