I was doing same method but i wouldn't recommend doing with resin as amount of fails pretty high. But regular wax with same crucible size i did 12 min burnout with torch and 90% success.
Thank you so much for this comment. I've made a wax ring and looking to try firing with a torch as don't have a kiln but couldn't do it for so long. Will give it a try 🥰
@@fayetowlson-mann2615 I highly advise to get slow cooker and place crucibles there for like 5-6h on first day and 3-4h on second day and while hot on same 2nd day take one by one and with torch heat them up and cast metal. In slow cooker wax will melt and evaporate, not fully but like 90%.
That 3D printer is out of the ball park for me. I cast super small bronze fittings for my miniature furniture in 3 inch flasks with anything up to 50 pieces on my sprue trees. Because the flasks are so small and my kiln is also very small I've got the entire casting process down to 2 hours from investing my flasks to complete burnout and casting with a centrifugal setup. You have to work with the equipment you've got... I use a dremel with a wheel on it for cutting the sprues which saves you fingers and tons of jewellers blades. Great to see someone else casting without all that super expensive machinary you see on other video's. Great result...
I have a mini burnout kiln that cost about $500 and is just big enough to fit 3 3inch flasks. I can do a complete burnout in under 2 hours which includes 1 hour on 730c. Not so expensive.. I think the company that sells them is called Paragon kilns..
@@chrismalcomson7640 I don;t know any way to send pictures to a youtube account - if there is a PM mechanism, let me know. I didn't invent the technique, You can see it on the steedcraft youtube channel, but I did improve it. The steedcraft guy uses very small flasks placed inside a hollowed out firebrick inside a microwave oven. the firebrick contains a chunk of his mystery substance that is a "microwave susceptor" a class of materials that absorb microwave energy efficently and get orange-hot. My research determined that the mystery substance is silicon carbide, which you can cut to your desired size from a bench grinding wheel with a diamond blade angle grinder. (aluminium oxide grinding wheels do not work - they are not microwave susceptors ). I use a much larger firebrick than steedcraft and wrap it in ceramic blanket for better insulation. the fllask sits inside the firebrick, and that goes in a microwave oven for 12 minutes. you don't even need to give it full power. you take the flask out and turn it over so that both ends of the flask get roasted to dull red or orange heat. repeat for a total roast time of 48 minutes for a 60mm x 60mm flask. Less time for a smaller flask. Most people would expect that a metal flask could not be put in a microwave but it absolutely can, with no problems. This is extremely effective and I make brass and silver brooches this way all the time for sale on Etsy
This is awesome thank you 🥰

You sit there with a tourch for 50 minutes on that thing? damn..... I do like that this is an option, but I don't know if I am willing to do that.
lol I came here to say the same thing
Beautiful work 👏 👍👍👍
Hi.. love your videos! I would like to replicate your burnout with my kiln. Can you advise timings and temperature? Thanks
Time arround 40 - 50 minutes. .
Temperature 550 *
@@JNDjewelers Thanks
I love the demonstration. The design lacks a bit of complexity. How long would it take to make with a saw?
Выжигаемый полимер X-one?
Hello i woul like to know wht resin he uses and its melts with the wax?
bought a burnout oven for 140 euros goes up to 1000c celsius i recommend instead of sitting there for 50minutes great work tho used to do the same
Could you tell me which oven do you have?
Did The Melted wax is reusable?
Why dont u use a burnout oven is there a specific reason?
because it saves costs. only for one pendant if using the oven will be very less efficient.
and save more time. when using the oven about 7 hours. . if burned only 1 hour
And the result is the same as with the oven? Like is 100% ash free?
@@bradleydewitte9894 yes like in the oven

how is that not a burnout !
I can burn out a bigger flask than that in half an hour using a microwave oven and I don't have to spend 50 minutes of personal time holding a torch
Lets see it
@@derptv6263 sure! where do you want me to send the pictures?
Also oxy/acetyline torches cost money to run. Much cheaper to invest in an oven. I'd like to see how you manage it in the microwave?

You made a $20, 000 ring and refuse to spend $700 on a kiln?
no a burnout can 12 hours, why wait that long when you can do it in 50 minutes
