This formula doesn't take into consideration the volume of the part being molded. Is there a formula or trick available to calculate the exact volume needed for rectangular molds? If yes that would make a great follow-up video!! Thank you for all the great educational content!!
Subtracting the mass of the part gets very part specific. Electronic enclosures and mechanical parts are typically so low in mass that there's not much point in calculating. Bigger parts you can do a rough l x w x h calculation and subtract that from the total volume of the mold box. Here's another approach for volume for unusual shapes: ruclips.net/video/7NnckK5YrvQ/видео.htmlsi=iMuN4dJ31l90XRlX
Thanks! We don’t have anything on reproducing a chess set, but the mold make techniques for that would be similar to a lot of other items we’ve molded. All the core knowledge you would need is here or on our website.

@@brickintheyard thank you!!
you can just pour beads into a volume, then measure them with a measuring cup or graduated cylinder
That works too! In the coffee cup mold video I use dry rice to get volume on an irregular shaped mold.
Sir do you have any videos that you make chess pieces and i subscribed to your video
