Hmm, I wanted to do a lifecast and make a mold, and then pour silicone into it... so I may not have bought the right thing. ...but I bought two things, so hopefully one was right. Hmm... the other was Ecoflex. So I'm pretty sure I would have to sculpt, or buy something else to lifecast.
Nice video. Do you know of a DIY way to thicken the rebound? I've ordered thi-vex, but I'm curious if cornstarch or something would work to thicken it up?
Thanks! I actually have never used a thickener, although if you let it sit a bit, it will start to thicken on its own. You'll just have to work quickly after that!
@@PlexiCosplay I'm in Colorado and the room I'm in is pretty chilly so I actually warmed up the silicone and that really helped it thicken up. It worked perfectly! Thanks for responding.
Thank you very much. You made this look much easier than some of the vids I have seen. I wanted to know would it be better to use release 200 or something so the rebound will seperate from the mask?
Thanks so much! I printed this on an Anycubic Photon Mono X resin printer :) You can do this with any printer, but you'll want to make sure the final print is sanded and perfect, because the mold will pick up ALL imperfections.
@@PlexiCosplay that’s great to know! 😀Also, what program did you use to make the design? I’m currently trying to make a Warframe operator Zenoriu mask, and I think it would be a lot easier if I could make a digital render of it and then 3D print it
I purchased this one on Etsy! www.etsy.com/listing/967773985/sub-zero-new-mask-mortal-kombat-movie?ref=yr_purchases I use Zbrush to make my files and I use Lychee for my slicer program. Zbrush is expensive, so I'd recommend a free program like Blender or Tinkercad if you're starting out, but I don't think you'll get as many options as you will with Zbrush.
love this!! Brush on molds are something I always mean to try and then never do
Oh you totally need to!!!

@@PlexiCosplay perfect. I will try that. Thank you

Do you use sonite wax between rebound 25 & plaster bandages?
Nope!
This tutorial is amazing and very helpful! 🤩 one question, though. How did you make the green mask cast? 3D print?

Don't do projects when it's hot , about 75 degrees. It will cure too fast
