Would you consider making a course or a RUclips series where you go into detail about designing in Fusion 360, explain the differences between resins, silicones, etc., and show how to create molds from a design perspective?
"Discussing The Workflow"; This is something that I've struggled with and never heard anyone else explain it like you did. The problem solving stage is awesome and that's what I love,, but that repetitive stage of continuing casting items is not super motivating for me. I could never put my thumb on it until you explained your process, thank you so much for taking the time to talk about this. Keep up the awesome work!!
When I make a comment, I feel compelled to ask a question or make a statement that could help, but your videos are so well documented, I can only comment on why I have no comment!! Well done as always. A long time subscriber!
Your quality and attention to detail are inspiring. I don't know anyone who is so focused on what I would call best practices, doing things in the best possible way to maximize efficiency, quality, workflow, and even just how cool things look. I like that that matters to you. Keep up the good work mate.
This project has been a huge inspiration for my current and future work. Thank you for sharing all the details on this project and I can't wait to see what you do next after this project is completed.
Try adding talc powder on the outside of the molds to lubricate them, they sit better in their cases with it. With fast cycle molds like these I've found out that it is good to let them sit and breathe without a part in them at the end of the shift. For the parts that you take out on the soft state the pressure chamber is not needed. You can try putting a taller filling spout and vent tubes and put it in the vaccum chamber for a few seconds to get most of the air out. If you cast in atmospheric pressure you need a pressure pot. If you cast in a vacuum and take the part out of the vacuum, the atmospheric pressure becomes your pressure pot.
I really appreciate all the work you put into filming everything and explaining your thought process. You motivate me to work on projects I’ve been putting off. I appreciate you mate 🙏
I just cannot get enough of this content. IDK how lucrative your channel and/or business is, but please consider hiring a cam guy and/or editor so that we can get more of this. I think I am talking for a lot of people, this is by far one of the best makers/manufacturing channel out there right now
You might be interested in Eric Strebel's channel. The style is different, but he is also an expert on silicone and resin molding and has the process nailed. Lots of workflow improvements to be learned there.
For your pouring with the scale, I would look into getting a large syringe, figuring out the volume of fluid you need and then use the syringe to exactly dose it, you will save your sanity that way.
For the flexible front pad you can maybe also consider it printing on your x1c. Filaments like TPU come to my mind for this job. But I dont know if the layer lines (at least on the side of the pad) would destroy the clean and flat look of the whole charger. Very interesting and nice to watch series :)
please get an electric torque screwdriver! I'm getting carpal tunnel just watching you screw those in! Plus it will make things faster and more consistent. Cool stuff though. Satisfying workflow. I appreciate the tidiness and aesthetic sensibility of the process.
Love your content! Just got into 3d printing and making mold, your process is next level. I can't feel the exhaustion of going back and forth at some points, such a rollercoaster of emotions but so rewarding
Thank you for putting so much time and energy into documenting and sharing this in such an approachable way. Seeing you take a complex goal, break it down into chunks, and then iteratively refine your process has made the notion of creating a product a lot less scary to me. The problem of scaling the production of the front pad is especially interesting to me. Do you think it could be produced using your HeyGears printer? I'm not sure if it's compatible, but it looks like Formlabs sells a silicone resin (Formlabs Silicone 40A)
the pouring is your slow spot, you should make a place for a disposable paper funnel to attach to the mold, and perhaps a drill press with a disposable plastic mixer attachment to mix up the resin. making all parts that touch the resin disposable and fast to use, try to get the wax or plastic coated paper funnels so the resin does not stick to the sides. maybe spray on grease, I don't really know to much about resin.
Consider making a little machine that weighs out the right amount of ball bearings. You can also buy those pipettes that measure precise amounts of a fluid, though unless you could wash out the nozzles before the resin cures you might go through a lot of them.
been watching you on and off doing this project. Your ingenuity is amazing. Its fun to listen to your creative process for manufacturing process. Thanks, defiantly learning from what you have shared.
This is incredibly fascinating and informative. Great production work on the videos as well. Audio and video is spot on with no distractions. Thanks for the great work.
I found when batching out cast parts multiple pressure pots were the answer. I guess it depends on what you have access to purchase economically, for me I repurposed relatively cheap ($160) pressure paint pots for hvlp spraying from Amazon. I built a cradle that fits and has multiple shelves, so I can pre-load it with empty molds, pour the resin and drop it in the pot, which is useful for quick cure resins. That's a great workflow you've got.
I find your videos so satisfying and therapeutic to watch! Really enjoy how you overcome problems and develop the designs, and explain why you’ve done certain things. Would love to see more on another product/design! 🙌👏 Could you incorporate an iWatch addition?
Cool process as an example of what is possible. That said each one of those chargers would need cost at least 250 dollars each to post a profit. It high level individual stuff and your doing good work.
Damn dude this is awesome! I cast and mold resin blanks for turning on the lathe and have been thinking about building some jigs to help with the workflow. I love the rack for the chamber pot. Definitely need something like this for my set up because it's a pain trying to layout multiple parts in the pressure pot. Utilizing the vertical space would certainly be a huge help to fit more in the pot. I also love that vac chamber. So much nicer than the one I have where the lid sits on top instead of sealing inside of the chamber.
I just discovered your channel and video. I've always been very interested in casting, having outsourced urethane cast parts a lot for my job. Been curious about doing it myself but don't really have the space... happy to live vicariously through you for now though. Love the content, I'm sure I'll learn lots!
Thank you for new video! Question: Where do you get all your equipment? Question: where did you get the skills and knowledge to create models and molds?
Have you considered "scaling" your pressure pots? I.e. Having few of them to let the full curing be done in them instead of the specialized jigs? It seems like it would have better ROI for your workshop for future projects, but I'm wondering if space/money or other were more important.
Would be nice to see various coloured flexible front covers, just to give it a bit of variety. I've always struggled with casting thin walled tubes in my designs, really should get a pressure pot to help get those pesky bubbles out. Great series by the way.
Awesome jigs! I'm scaling up in a similar way and am going down the route of many molds as I'm going to wear through them anyways. I'm looking forward to "mega pours" and mixing in 5 gallon buckets!
Thanks a lot for the video (it's the first one or yours I've seen), it's a really interesting workflow. The Design details of the jigs are very satisfying. The video work is excellent too. I really recommend getting a little electric screw driver like the Vessel 220USB-Plus or similar - I have a few of them and use them all the time, they are excellent for those small machine screws.
it looks like there arent any locator pegs or anything on your molds aside from where the actual hardware keeps them together. Is that an intentional choice? I feel like it would make the process of carefully sealing the flexible polyurethane pad molds easier, you could tell even in the video how careful you were being to line it up and that really stood out to me.
Question for a Q & A: How do you make sure your materials meet all legal regularities when selling them? Usually when producing stuff elsewhere and importing it to europe you need to do chemical tests and so on done by testing institutions (like TÜV) to prove it. Can you explain the regularities on this topic? What do you need to do sell these products from a material POV.
Hey, great video man! I have a question, Recently I was also looking at doing some production work with two component polyurethane. Why do you mix every batch individually by hand? Could your process maybe be more streamlined by using a dispensing system and mixing syringe nozzle? Then you only really use the epoxy that you need and there is also no need to degass the mixed epoxy because no air gets introduced when using a mixing nozzle. If you looked into stuff like that I would love to hear your opinion on it. I want to do some small batch production work with two component PU foam and it foams seconds after mixing and doing the process by hand gives to much variation since mixing takes seconds aswell..
Really love your work. Intrigued by your process. I see you are in stafford. I was convinced you might be from stoke (where I am originally from). Great work, thanks for sharing.
hello, if u know the approximate volume of the weigth of the casted silicone and since u already have a pump, u can try to use a pneumatic syringe wich have the volume u need instead of spending time having the precise weigth on a scale.
19:18 how about Synthetic Rubber (the stuff pencil erasers are made from) it can have the friction that will make the phone stay, it's cheap strong and flexible, I know some types mold well by injection, but most of the time you buy it in sheets then do Vulcanization irreversible heat molding to the correct shape. their is chemically curing that can be done at room temperature, they are those RTV gasket makers that you buy for your car.
Very interesting. I try to implement similar workflow improvements for my products, though they are mostly CNC machining based. But I enjoy the workflow and process optimization thinking of your videos. Maybe one day I'll do some resin based products, too.
Rather than outsourcing the manufacturing for the front pad, you could perhaps get an additional pressure pot? I guess it depends on the long term production goals.
Little unsolicited advice: you can get an inexpensive low torque electric screwdriver or a much more expensive one which is torque calibrated. In either case, this speeds up using screws in a workflow dramatically.
Regarding the durability of the silicone you're using, I’d like to ask: how many casts do you think it will withstand before it becomes unusable? If high-quality silicone isn’t durable enough, remaking each mold will add extra effort and cost. In such a case, you’d inevitably have to add this effort and expense as a loss in your table. The long-term performance of the silicone is crucial for the sustainability of the work. Good luck!
looking at the workflow I'd have 2 suggestions. I'd say maybe invest in a second pressure pot, you seem concerned about holding it up but there's no rule that says you can't use 2... or 3. and second maybe move it (them) onto a bench. lots of getting up and down where it is.
This is the first time I'm seeing your clips, and I’m absolutely blown away. Coming from a professional background, I really understand the challenges of low-volume production as well as large-scale manufacturing. What you're doing is model-shop manufacturing for the 21st century. The way you use modern tools and methods and meticulously rethink each process step is incredibly professional. I wish I could see this kind of thinking in the company where I work.
Thank you for another amazing video. Your channel has been such an informative resource for me, I would love to know what resources, books, video courses etc that have been instrumental to you in forming both your technical skills and your design style
Can you make a jig/rack that works with the round shape of your pots to batch those flexible parts? Also use additional pressure pots, if money is a constraint buy the cheap paint sprayer pots and convert them.
Love your videos. Still have no idea what it is you're building though. Edit: Okay, so it's a charging stand. But for what device? Maybe at the start of each video you could quickly describe what your final product is. This product might be something I'm interested in buying. But I don't know, because I don't know what your product is. I've watched so many of your videos. I can't remember when I subscribed, and I'm not up to date with your project. And I feel that I'm not the only person that might need a gentle reminder of what it is we are doing here. :)
Hi sir, I would like to know how and where did you learn to 3D model. Your models look amazing as well as very optimised for costs saving and I wish to learn some of your tricks Thank you for your answer !
Hey Reece, thank you for the information you share, it's a gold mine and visually appealing one on top of that:) I have questions about the materials you use. What are the specifications that you are after - pot life, demould time, viscosity, temperature resistance, mechanical properties,... Does some company make them for you?
Thanks! The polyurethane resin is actually my own. It’ll be available on my website soon (next week or two), just waiting for confirmation on the shipment! Thanks for watching.
if you are using 3min worktime resin you really don't need to be using anything but the pressure pot, I've cast thousands of parts using tc808 black fast set resin which seems to be identical to yours and I've never had a bubble in my castings, as long as your mold is also pressure cast your fine and don't need the vacuum stage when casting your resin parts
The video is really well analyzed, I like it very much, but if you come to Dongguan, China, you will find that the price and speed of making molds and products here are beyond your imagination. I hope you have the opportunity to visit China and see how efficient China's manufacturing industry is.
Hi, I watched your videos beside working in my own studio. Very nice gigs and fixtures. I´m an industrial designer for almost 20 years now. You have great skills, but don´t waste time and effort in areas people can´t see and appreciate. Is your product the right thing? A luxury phone charger isn´t bad, but maybe you can find something better? Working alone, a luxury good is the right way to go, because you can´t make a mass product and people pay good money for special items.
Would you consider making a course or a RUclips series where you go into detail about designing in Fusion 360, explain the differences between resins, silicones, etc., and show how to create molds from a design perspective?
Would love that to happen
Angus from Makers muse had some good videos for learning fusion. Not sure if they have kept up to date though.
gumroad it!!
Would love that to happen too.
Or OnShape instead of Fusion 360, as it's free
Your attention to detail is amazing. The little window for the scale screen at 14:58 Genius!
Yes, nice catch, very clever indeed, I love seeing people optimise with design like that, one of the perks of 3Dp
"Discussing The Workflow"; This is something that I've struggled with and never heard anyone else explain it like you did.

Kinda crazy design implemented in every item you make even in some turnaround tooling stuff. So nice to see this.
Your quality and attention to detail are inspiring. I don't know anyone who is so focused on what I would call best practices, doing things in the best possible way to maximize efficiency, quality, workflow, and even just how cool things look.

Been loving this series - I get that you feel it’s been drawn out, but what you do is fascinating, we just enjoy coming for the ride 😆
Ценю людей с таким подходом к деталям. Привет из России 👋
Love the series and work! very inspiring.

Your videos are send from heaven! So inspiring 🙏🏼
Thanks, I appreciate you watching and glad you’ve enjoyed them!
Your process is incredible.
Only saw this video, but wow! You are a modern day wizard! Crazy mad skills.
Good stuff! You are teaching people to be as good as you are (with a lot of practice). What a great example to makers. Thank you !

Question: Where do you get all your equipment?
Question: where did you get the skills and knowledge to create models and molds?
I'll be happy to see more video's on the engineering of the front pad, do not outsource.
Have you considered "scaling" your pressure pots? I.e. Having few of them to let the full curing be done in them instead of the specialized jigs? It seems like it would have better ROI for your workshop for future projects, but I'm wondering if space/money or other were more important.

I've always struggled with casting thin walled tubes in my designs, really should get a pressure pot to help get those pesky bubbles out.
Great series by the way.
👌🏽 great series. From sketches to reality
I've enjoyed the complete process. Great Work!
Awesome jigs! I'm scaling up in a similar way and am going down the route of many molds as I'm going to wear through them anyways. I'm looking forward to "mega pours" and mixing in 5 gallon buckets!

12:55 you can print a jig that holds the part in the resin and is fixed on that black pad. This if the product becomes a series one.
You videos are awesome! I really love your cinematic style.
Your work forces me to strive to a similar quality! Thank you!
Hey you might fill the steel balls in a fixed volume instead of weighting them. That might save some time :)
Love your videos, greetings from Germany

phenomenal work. looking forward to getting the end product.
Very interesting. I try to implement similar workflow improvements for my products, though they are mostly CNC machining based. But I enjoy the workflow and process optimization thinking of your videos. Maybe one day I'll do some resin based products, too.
Maybe it's been asked, how did you learn fusion, what's a typical day like at work for you. Great work as always,

Speechless...... Awesome
You could print the molds to have an over center clamp mechanism on the outsides so thag you dont have to screw and unscrew every time..
This is the first time I'm seeing your clips, and I’m absolutely blown away.

Thank you for another amazing video. Your channel has been such an informative resource for me, I would love to know what resources, books, video courses etc that have been instrumental to you in forming both your technical skills and your design style
Organic supports are great. I switched over a year ago and haven't looked back.
Hi, have you considered adding a 3-5mm barrier/fence to the casting so when the bubbling occurs it doesn't overflow and doesn't make a mess?
Can you make a jig/rack that works with the round shape of your pots to batch those flexible parts? Also use additional pressure pots, if money is a constraint buy the cheap paint sprayer pots and convert them.
12:52 maybe you can extend the height of the mould to avoid overflow during the degassing process?
How are you that good at designing, the way the molds clip in the trays and then those have holes to read the scale 🤯
Would you mind sharing what camera and lens combo you use? Your shots always look so crisp and amazing
Great work…
This is my favorite channel on YT. As a micro-scale manufacturer and maker myself, it’s incredibly inspirational. Thanks.
Love your videos. Still have no idea what it is you're building though.
Edit: Okay, so it's a charging stand. But for what device? Maybe at the start of each video you could quickly describe what your final product is.

I wonder if plural pumps with static mixing nozzles should be the next challenge to speed up production flow….
You're F'ing Legend Man... Plain and Simple.
Hi sir,
I would like to know how and where did you learn to 3D model. Your models look amazing as well as very optimised for costs saving and I wish to learn some of your tricks
Thank you for your answer !
Hey Reece, thank you for the information you share, it's a gold mine and visually appealing one on top of that:)
I have questions about the materials you use. What are the specifications that you are after - pot life, demould time, viscosity, temperature resistance, mechanical properties,... Does some company make them for you?
Maybe grab another pressure pot/vacuum chamber for that specific step
14:00 the cutout for the scale screen, are you KIDDING ME?!
Pro level
Amazing to see your process. Looked around to find the resin you're using but had no luck. Whats the brand-model again?
Thanks! The polyurethane resin is actually my own. It’ll be available on my website soon (next week or two), just waiting for confirmation on the shipment! Thanks for watching.
if you are using 3min worktime resin you really don't need to be using anything but the pressure pot, I've cast thousands of parts using tc808 black fast set resin which seems to be identical to yours and I've never had a bubble in my castings, as long as your mold is also pressure cast your fine and don't need the vacuum stage when casting your resin parts
Nice work! did you also make the flexible cover?
The video is really well analyzed, I like it very much, but if you come to Dongguan, China, you will find that the price and speed of making molds and products here are beyond your imagination. I hope you have the opportunity to visit China and see how efficient China's manufacturing industry is.
I can’t even fathom the astronomical cost of it!
Hi, I watched your videos beside working in my own studio. Very nice gigs and fixtures. I´m an industrial designer for almost 20 years now. You have great skills, but don´t waste time and effort in areas people can´t see and appreciate. Is your product the right thing? A luxury phone charger isn´t bad, but maybe you can find something better? Working alone, a luxury good is the right way to go, because you can´t make a mass product and people pay good money for special items.
Love your videos. How do you work around cure inhibition?
I really like the color of that matte pla you are using in the video. Can I ask you the code/name of it? Is the Bambu Lab Matte PLA 11400?
The name of that filament is Matt Desert Tan 👍🏻
@RTAFabrication Great, thanks!
