DIY Custom car parts with a split mold urethane casting
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 авг 2024
- I was spending hours producing these engine bay caps, so I decided to speed things up and make a silicone split mold and cast them out of a two-part plastic. Way less effort, time and even a stronger part!

My eyes transfixed to the screen my mouth hanging open I was about to drool when a garbage truck suddenly yanked me "back" to reality. So mesmerized was I by the sorcery taking place before me on the screen...
You sir are a plastic wizard I I bow down and thank you for sharing this. Magic with the world. No for real that was fucking cool thanks
Lol, Thank you. I fail.... a lot too btw. The process is fairly difficult and what works for one part, does not at all for another.
4:37 - Nice easter egg ;)
Lol, I actually forgot about that!
Wow really nice! Please make more Nismo parts so I can learn to do it myself!
Thanks, stay tuned!
Great work Nick! Loved this video.
Thanks bro!
CRAZY...good skills...
Keep up the great work
GREAT SITE.
Thank you, just means I failed alot before lol

Hi.
What other plastics would you recommend?
The idea is awesome, but I need a plastic that can be 2mm thick, hard yet somewhat flexible, to work as a mold for plaster.
Thanks.
@@mikekiske I would think most 2 part casting epoxies and urethanes would be up to the task. If you need a little flex to it get a rigid urethane with a lower shore hardness.
@@EndMotive Nice. Thanks for the feedback.
Top mate. Good to see you are back
Thank you!
Kinda brilliant. ❤ this!
Thank you!
Loved it istant subscription 😂!
Thank you!
Amazing work, Need to try this out. Great video!
Well, yeah if I could move that quickly while maintaining accuracy the way you do....lol for real though, this is a great instructional video
Thank you!
U actually used 3D printing 🤔
Yeah for the master, but it takes less than 45 min each now vs the nearly 4 hours it takes to print. Plus the sanding and painting that isn't needed anymore saves even more time.
Brilliant ! What spray are you using to give the texture before painting the part ?
Thank you! SEM texture
urethane o polyurethane?
Nice job 👍 first one that shows you can mold yourself without selling your organs for an injection molding machine 😂
Do you know how about the temperature resistance of the plastic? 🤔
Yeah, injection molds are crazy expensive. This plastic is good for 250f I believe, which is why I chose it!
its so nice and good man
Thank you!
Hi great video 🤯what super glue brand do you use and what make of cutting scalpel is it please?
AwesomeThis is an amazing project. Thanks for your experience. To be honest, I doubted that this plastic could withstand the temperature under the hood of a car. How did he show himself in use? Are there any deformations due to high temperature or signs of abrasion? Thank you again and good luck to you.
Thank you! I have had my cap covers on for over three or so years now with no issues. They look good still!
@@EndMotive Wow, this is incredible. Thank you for your feedback. Previously, I used 3D printed ABS parts in the space under the hood and after six months or a maximum of a year they fell apart... Now I also can’t wait to try this two-component plastic) Thanks again for your experience and your answers. Good luck to you!)
Cool
Thanks!
Such clean work. Respect!
I'm not familiar with PU as a 2 part casting resin. What makes it a good choice over the typical epoxies?
Thank you! I am by no means a chemical engineer, I just happened to grab something with an appropriate heat range and sent it lol. Epoxy resin would have likely worked just as well for this part.
Nice work👌 Thank you
Great work!... Curious about the heater at the bottom of the Vacuum Pot. : )
Thanks!. No heater, there is a silicone spill mat inside though.
Can you make some of those for me? I don't have the necessary tools to do it myself.
Yeah! I will have some up and available on my store pretty soon! > Endmotive.com
How does Polyurethane fair against UV and heat?
Different products have different ratings but the stuff I used has held up great to everything I have put it through. I haven't noticed any degradation from uv or heat, but have not exposed it to extreme heats really either.
Nismo is mismo !😀
Not sure what that means, but yes!
@@EndMotive I'm not Hispanic but had gf from South America. Mismo means "same". I'm just learning. Your video helped immensely. I got a 34 year old Mercedes waiting. LOL Plenty to cast on that.
@@mehatestaxes Ahh gotcha! Thats awesome!
Thank You. I just bought a used car with cracked interior parts everywhere. Do you think this method could be used to make a whole new dashboard?
Yes in theory it could be done, but the cost of failure might not be worth it. The material cost for an entire dash would likely be too much. The small trim pieces would best be repaired with an epoxy or glue, and the dash itself maybe re-upholstered?
@@EndMotive Thanks
Can you make mold of 100mm longboard wheel please😊
Maybe! Are you wanting to see a tutorial on how to make your own?
@@EndMotive yesssssss you are right, you made this very impressively that's why I request you because I believe you can make and show us your talent again ❤ love from India 🇮🇳
great work please can you tell me plastic name (casting plastic material)
Thanks! The plastic I use is Smooth On -Onyx.... here is a link to it amzn.to/3DTixHM
So molding stuff now? I see you had to get a vacuum container and pressure pot
I did use a vacuum chamber to degas before pouring, but some of the parts I will be casting in the future will require a pressure pot
did you need to vacuum these? have you had any issus with bubbles?
I did have a some issues with bubbles, I should have added more or larger vents. Ideally they should be cast into the mold and then placed in a pressure pot.
Could you not have just 3d printed the molds, sanded them, bunffed them and applied mold release?
Serious question. Just thinking for those of us who have a 3 printer but not well versed in all the other stuff you did.
This definitely a huge time saver if you are making multiples comparing to 3d printing the part everytime though great thinking.
I could have sla printed the molds, but it would have next to impossible to sand them and texture them. Then the rigid molds would create a mechanic lock with the cast resin. It would have been possible if I added some draft angles and no texture though.
@@EndMotive if you print them in the right orientation so that your layer lines are for the most part laid in the direction of pull it will release much easier. Also a good layer of wax and release agent would help as well as using filaments that are naturally chemical resistant like PETG. You could also do the mold out of TPU if a hard mold would be too difficult to use. Food for thought. I just did a little digging and this is what I came up with thought I would pass it on.
Hi, what are the black liquid material called? Where i can buy it? Thanks 😊
It is Smooth-on Onyx.
Do yo need that vaccum thing for the silicon, is there a cheaper alternative? because i want to make some molds for my tools 😬
Nope, You don't need a vacuum pot. It helps degas the mixture and reduce the amount of bubbles, but some silicones claim that they are low-gas and do not need to be vacuumed at all.
@@EndMotive Any silicon molding liquids you recommend?
@@shawcobra I have had really good luck with Smooth-on brand. The Mold Max 14 does not need to be degassed, maybe the entire Mold Max series, but not positive.
@@EndMotive ok thanks for the recommendation and have a happy new year!
What is the material you pour in to the mold? I mean the black one
Materials are in the description! It is a Smooth-on 2 part plastic.
Do you think this is possible to make a bumper mold with?
Yeah I would think it is possible, but it would be a pretty complex mold and fairly expensive. Most aftermarket/body-kit style bumpers are made with a fiberglass molds. The silicone would be nice for weird or undercut geometry though.
Супер!
Thanks!
name of the second song? [starting at 03:40 }
I tried looking it up and cant find any details for some reason. I think it was part of old free RUclips creator music, but I'm not sure.
Is this a cap for your caps?
Yes, no cap!
If u have more ill buy them from u?
I dont have any right now, but plan on making more in the future
@End Motive ok let me when u have some available
