Thank you! I miss my own ‘long form’ attention span…. Old RUclips was best when it felt like we sat down to a meal. Today’s content feels more and more like I’m eating rice cakes. Tiny bit of flavor on top, but mostly just puffed air…
@@bryansummers3219 When I first saw it after he put the glue on I thought. "ok that looks hacky as hell..." After he sanding it and put the finish on, I was thinking "OMG, that looks like something that came out of our finish room!" I haven't seen finish that good without slathering it in bondo and drowning it in paint. Wonder how well it holds up. I'm going to have to give it a shot now.
@@SeanHodgins let me get back to you later today (like 12 hours) I have a link and some info from when I was searching. I ended up with a great piece of equipment and another RUclipsr explains how to easily switch it from a 120v to 240v if that sort of thing is needed.
i've worked in a bronze sculptor's foundry, on wax models through to the finished life sized pieces, a small crew pouring glass into moulds and have done some lost wax and cuttlefish casting for small metal objects. awhile back, i was noodling around with 3d applications/models and renderings...now, i am about 10 months in with 3d printing...it's very VERY satisfying to finally hold in my hand that which was only viewable...on a computer screen. thanks for your processes!
I once saw a guy put his prints in an acetone atmosphere to melt nice and smoothe. All you do is put the part raised off of liquid acetone and close the box. The better the print the better the end result
Beautiful work! But man, it only has to hold up coats, so the 3d print is plenty strong enough, and looks great after the CA and polyurethane. I would have just gone with that and saved time :P
My grandfather was a Master Mould Maker in a foundry, during WWII in Birmingham, UK. He wasn't conscripted due to the need to have qualified iron workers for the war effort. He was then also a fireman at night, during the Blitz.. Making casting moulds etc is a fine art. And you are American? Where did you get Daryl Lea liquorice from? Its made in my home town of Adelaide, South Australia!! (In the middle, down the bottom.. Where the Barossa Valley/Penfolds Grange wine comes from)
Local CVS Pharmacy has it here in Michigan. I have to go to two different stores some times because an old timer buys out the one that is walking distance from me. Thanks for the story! It is extremely enjoyable to make something out of wood and then cast it in metal. I am glad I get to do it as a hobby and not as a part of a war effort!
dude the amount of knowledge you put into this video was amazing sir. Thank you got the tips and the awesome lesson!!! Now I gotta build more stuff... Thanks!
@@Grunblau I'm subbing please share more awesome videos! Some of us really like the nerdy stuff. Some of us actually crave it. You sir have a great way of teaching. Are you in the field? Thanks agian!
I picked up some foundry sand that should provide a better surface although this wasn’t terrible…. I just want people to know that even if you don’t have a foundry supply near you, Home Depot has masonry sand that works great too!
Hello, good video… I have a question (sorry for not precises words, I’m french) how air goes away because there is no hole to let it escape ? It due to the material used for the cast (matrix) ?
Considering how much filing and polishing you did in this video, have you considered getting a tool for that? I think something like a dremel rotary tool with a proper tip would work. (Or build a tool yourself if you want to.)
I have a dremel but I am actually considering a legit die grinder and flex shaft. I am always disappointed in the dremel and always happy with a full on die grinder.
I was got to this video thinking it might be a nice project for 3D printing... But then I saw the equipment needed etc. I do wonder though, if you need to spend a lot to get started with casting.
This was super cool! I wonder if there’s a way to make a reusable mold so you can make multiple castings from the same mold without destroying it. Really amazing work! 👍
One method would be a match plate where sand is just pressed against to sides of a pattern. For a small run it would be the same process. Could also do a die or lost wax etc…
I don't mean to sound rude just uave a question. Seems like it took you about 3-4 days and a lot of work to complete this part. Since you are using aluminum would it not be alot faster to mill it out of a block of aluminum, I could make without a mill this by just using a Dremel in way less time. The only advantage I see with casting is that you can use any scap you have laying around.
I’ll take 50 of those! I plan to make multiples and even though a pattern takes awhile to do right, in the long run it is a faster cheaper approach. Also, I’m not sure what scrap aluminum costs these days per pound, but whatever it is, I guarantee it is cheaper than billet aluminum.
This is beautiful... thanks for the video! I would love to cast some functional aluminum parts like this but I have enough of them that cleaning up the surface in this way makes it extremely impractical. Would love a way to cast cleaner.
@@Grunblau Thanks for the tip! Have you done any cold casting (resin with metal powder filler)? It gets surprisingly good results and a lot more volume-friendly since you can use silicone molds. Not as impressive though, of course!
Really enjoyed watching your video! I'm curious. Once you had printed your 3D part, wouldn't making a silicone mold, and then injecting wax into it, been an easier way to give you a castable part? Also, with a silicone mold, there wouldn't seem to be as much concern regarding "drafting". Or, would using a "lost wax" casting process be a too complicated approach for this type of project? Although, if repeatability were your goal, using a completely finished aluminum part to make a silicone mold with, and then using the "lost wax" casting approach, would potentially cut down on the finishing time required for each additional part, due to a much cleaner post-cast surface. I also noticed, the sand casting process doesn't appear to give you a very clean surface, which really seems to increase your finishing time. Would tamping down of the sand more, prior to casting, have given the casting a smoother finished surface? One last question: Did you have any problems with porosity? With all of the above said, I also realize there's multiple ways to skin the cat, or should I say, get from point "A" to point "B".
The plan was both until it became obvious that it was overkill. Also, the pacing would have suffered from me drilling and tapping and countersinking holes. This JB weld will not fail in my lifetime and if it does, I’ll be there to glue the plate back on or add fasteners. Getting a TIG soon so that would have been yet another option!
Trade off…. I would still have to file/sand for a smooth finish. Packed Sodium Silicate sand doesn’t cure as fast and doesn’t allow gasses to escape as well.
I just joined your channel, your really amazing at casting..... What was your sand mixture and what liquid did you mix with it, was it just water? I can never get my casting as smooth as yours turns out. Please let me know it would be a big help.
This is simply sodium silicate (liquid) and fine masonry sand. The sodium silicate hardens with CO2 and makes it setup like a sugar cube. Biggest advice I can give for quality casts is to use cast aluminum for scrap. Using extruded aluminum or pop cans will lead to awful casts. Hope this helps!
Christ man, you really didn't have to make an entire demonstration for why single-pull casted parts need tapering and drafting but the fact that you did just shows how incredible you are as a person. Cheers to that
I don't know. Those are the sorts of simple mistakes probably a majority of interested amateurs make and curse the heavens over. It's nice to have a video targeted to people nee to the idea of casting being given a solid practical explanation of just how important that step is.
I always thought that was Dick Proenneke's voice but it's actually Bob Swerer's. I believe there are three documentaries around Dick and his cabin if you haven't seen them yet, they're worth a watch (I believe some stuff is reused but it's been a while so my memory might be failing me).

Yes 👏🏼… I ❤️ his videos. I know it’s a lot of work… and he probably has a day job… but I’d love to see more. Hey RUclips… pay him more so he can quit the day job and focus on producing more content‼️ 😊
I can't imagine how many hours that you and other RUclipsrs have saved the rest of us by sharing your knowledge of how to do things, and more importantly sometimes, how NOT to do things. . Also, your calm speaking voice lends itself to teaching. Great video.
@@Grunblau "Hi there, Is there a specific reason you’re using MINWAX? It would be great if you could share more details on how to achieve that smooth finish on PLA. Thanks!"
Forgive me if someone else has already commented this, but depending on the material you 3D print with you can use acetone to smooth the surface instead of doing all that sanding. For parts such as this where it's mainly aesthetic and there's no real tolerances required, it would be ideal and save you a fair bit of time. Nice work!
I 3D print and can confirm that acetone washing can be used on ABS but that’s about it in my personal experience. It’s just as easy to print with PLA and do a resin wash over the print with little sanding at the end.
@@rainydaytoast1490 I plan on doing it eventually and starting another channel solely for it but I can’t at the moment as I have a very busy home life. Once I have some more time to spare it’s something that will be done. For now I would recommend visiting uncle jessy on here as he has some amazing videos on it
The smoothing is pretty pointless in this case ... the metal parts need be finished anyways and it won't make a huge difference removing the plastic from the mold
The aluminum is beautiful, but I agree, the 3d printed part was also very nice once he filled with ca glue, sanded and applied the finish. I learned a. Nice way to finish off some 3d printed parts!

you really need a belt sander and buffer! XD .remember to pack the sand. and also leave a small hole for air to escape.

Hello, good video… I have a question (sorry for not precises words, I’m french) how air goes away because there is no hole to let it escape ? It due to the material used for the cast (matrix) ?
Yup. The sodium silicate sand is a bit like a sugar cube and the gases can easily escape everywhere through the mold face.

Dude, that brand of licorice is the bee's knees.
From my point of view it is more efficient to print it directly in Aluminum
Amazing job. I keep thinking about getting into metal casting, but man it's so much work.
After finishing the 3D print, wouldn't that have functioned equally well as a wall hook? Neat video BTW.
Possibly. I will at some point make these available. Maybe incorporate the slots in a printable version.

Amazing
This was super cool! I wonder if there’s a way to make a reusable mold so you can make multiple castings from the same mold without destroying it. Really amazing work! 👍
I have a couple projects in mind that this would benefit from. So far, beyond producing steel mold, all molds are sacrificial, unfortunately…
Awesome!
Very cool! Not knowing anything about aluminum casting, if say you wanted to do multiple hooks, would it be the same process or a different one?
One method would be a match plate where sand is just pressed against to sides of a pattern. For a small run it would be the same process. Could also do a die or lost wax etc…

Grade A RUclipsry!
I'm a welding engineer. Maybe, I misunderstand something, but aluminum would oxidize at the air, or it dosen't matter? How do you protect the metal?
Nothing beyond the Mother’s Mag Polish…. I have used Everbrite before with good results!
Why JBweld and not a mechanical fastener for the wallplate?
The plan was both until it became obvious that it was overkill.
Also, the pacing would have suffered from me drilling and tapping and countersinking holes. This JB weld will not fail in my lifetime and if it does, I’ll be there to glue the plate back on or add fasteners. Getting a TIG soon so that would have been yet another option!
If you're going to use that as an hanger, why not avoid all the extra steps and use that initial, beautifully finished 3d printed part instead?
Because of the overwhelming pressure RUclips puts on me to cast something in aluminum or the will delete my channel?
Tnx I’m now dead from the music
Is the model of the hook available to buy/download. Would love to have a go at making my own for my "man cave"
I am considering a 3D Model Repository on the website for the patterns… i have only just gotten back into YT and trying to get me sea legs again…
If you had lightly rammed the sodium silicate you'd get a better finish?
Trade off…. I would still have to file/sand for a smooth finish. Packed Sodium Silicate sand doesn’t cure as fast and doesn’t allow gasses to escape as well.
Got my wall hook in 15 minutes at Walmart in for $2.99.
now i can do anything at home
If you're not going use it for casting, is the procedure you used for smoothing it first the best way to smooth a print, or is it some other way?
This is a good way for a part that will see some wear…. You can also use filler primer and paint too. Check out my sand rammer to see that process!
@@Grunblau Thank you, I will check it out. I don't have a printer yet, but have started looking into getting one.

What song is in the beginning?
What did you put in the sand to make it hard?
Sodium Silicate
why did you make it sound like 60s educational video :) :)
you could make the actual two-part mold by using the actual model as ceramic burn mold
not sand cast, but rigid ceramic re-useable mold
how about SiO2 + water cast rigid mold, assuming you get rid of all water
What type of filament was used?
I think this was Hatchbox PLA although I am finding that Polymaker filament is also pretty great!

Whenever they are provided with a provision of fruit therefrom, they will say, "This is what we were provided with before." And it is given to them in likeness. And they will have therein purified spouses, and they will abide therein eternally. ( 2:25 )

Welcome back Master !
Yes 👏🏼… I ❤️ his videos. I know it’s a lot of work… and he probably has a day job… but I’d love to see more.
Hey RUclips… pay him more so he can quit the day job and focus on producing more content‼️ 😊
This
I can't imagine how many hours that you and other RUclipsrs have saved the rest of us by sharing your knowledge of how to do things, and more importantly sometimes, how NOT to do things. . Also, your calm speaking voice lends itself to teaching. Great video.
Thank you! I have been a university teacher on and off for the last years…

"Hi there,
Is there a specific reason you’re using MINWAX? It would be great if you could share more details on how to achieve that smooth finish on PLA. Thanks!"
Forgive me if someone else has already commented this, but depending on the material you 3D print with you can use acetone to smooth the surface instead of doing all that sanding. For parts such as this where it's mainly aesthetic and there's no real tolerances required, it would be ideal and save you a fair bit of time. Nice work!
I 3D print and can confirm that acetone washing can be used on ABS but that’s about it in my personal experience.
It’s just as easy to print with PLA and do a resin wash over the print with little sanding at the end.
You can also use plb and isopropyl alcohol
@@TAH3DGeek1994 can you please do a video detailing more specifically how you get such smooth prints!
@@rainydaytoast1490 I plan on doing it eventually and starting another channel solely for it but I can’t at the moment as I have a very busy home life.
Once I have some more time to spare it’s something that will be done.
For now I would recommend visiting uncle jessy on here as he has some amazing videos on it
The smoothing is pretty pointless in this case ... the metal parts need be finished anyways and it won't make a huge difference removing the plastic from the mold
i realize i need more willpower
"You see that coat hanger there, I made that." People are going to look at you like you are crazy lol.
damn so much work for a coat hanger.
Yeah lol but good for learning
I can never look at those coat hooks in the same way again.
What a great surprise this morning!
Indeed!
that's what the ATF said
thanks for demonstration with undercuts. I have a project that I'm working on and I will have to revisit because of this tip.
btw it's the same idea for vacuum forming, slope make the day for removing that... tho it might not save it from going wonky due to the plastic..
Fantastic to see you back! I was wondering where you had got to. Great casting result!
I think I would have just used the printed part. But to each his own. Good video in any case.
The aluminum is beautiful, but I agree, the 3d printed part was also very nice once he filled with ca glue, sanded and applied the finish. I learned a. Nice way to finish off some 3d printed parts!
@@mikemorrison377 could have hit it with some "aluminum" spray paint and a coat of clear and had a very nice product in less time
2:06 Wow, I wasn't aware that Darrell Lea was available outside Australia! It's always seriously tasty (Dark Choc. Licorice Bullets are my fav!)
*Opens Amazon browser window*
But is it made in Australia ?
@@kymlardnerofficial it sure is! I'm not sure what percentage of ingredients are Australian, but they're still manufactured in Sydney at least.
A visit to Darrell Lea was a must any I time I went to the city in Melbourne as a kid.
