"Little bear from Star Trek" oh my Crafsman you targeting nerds (me) like a sharpshooter, that's hilarious stuff! "Nonflushtivity" that's a useful word right there.
Thanks, Uncle Jessy! :D Someone mentioned I should use your trick of UV curing a coat of resin over the print lines to get a smoother finish. That is slick!
I reckon injection molding is the next big thing for makers. With 3D printing and cheap CNC machines becoming better and better, its becoming possible for anyone to make their own moulds, which has always been a barrier of entry to injection moulding. Once molds are easy to make hopefully we will start seeing open source molding machines the same way we saw open source 3D printers, and injection molding will finally start to become avalible to home manufacturers!

Injection moulding is already happening in the form of back room, short run, plastic kit manufacturing. Basically people are using engraving machines to create the moulds. Some of the kits I've made have been manufactured buy a single guy in his house for decades.

I too started in Caligari trueSpace 3. But it was so liberating to discover Blender 2.0 beta in 2000 when browsing a book store or a library. trueSpace had no chance, it's anything but robust. By the way, there was Sculptris which was free and was now replaced by zBrush Core Mini which is also free. It's not as powerful as Blender sculpting but might just be comfy enough.
I got really interested in this type of resin, after a few hours of searching I found the "GulfSream Outdoors" youtube channel where the guy is making siraya tech sculpt molds without metal frame and he is pouring at high temp. He has a 3 part tutorial series where he is talking about the tips and trick of designing and printing these molds.
The real question is, would it be good enough to make small-batch runs of HIPS minis! But some big-brain scientists actually figured out something even cooler. they figured out how to make a photocurable polystyrene out of styrene monomer(stabalized), polystyrene, and UV initiator. So it might be directly printable!
I've yet to get a resin manufacturer to respond to my inquiries about making even just a test-batch of it though, unfortunately. So I may just have to make it myself.
Crafsman you probably won’t read this but I want you to know that I love your soothing voice and your creativity. I recently got a resin printer for my birthday from my wonderful wife and have been looking for ideas. Thank you!
Respect for leaving a comment to the author. I would be grateful if you look at my content and rate it. In one of the videos, I made golden matches on a 3D printer.
This is next level. I never would have thought injection molding could make sense for a hobbyist or very small business, but Crafsman is making it happen. I think videos taking longer to release if it takes longer to make them is just fine. The results are always worth the wait.
Lol, "lil bear from Star Trek". This is awesome. It has me dreaming about taking old Kenner Star Wars storm trooper and Ewok figures, creating molds for their arms, legs, torso and heads and then creating a massive number of copies for the coolest and most massive Battle of Endor diorama ever.
Crafsman, I will likely never get to do this kind of work myself but I LOVE getting to watch you do it. Thank you so much for sharing all of your adventures, and making all of us feel like such a big part of them!
Thank you! I hesitate sometimes to show injection molding stuff because I know it's not a widely-done thing, so comments like this are very encouraging.
@@Trainwheel_Time that's a typo, i meant injection, i don't really pay attention when i type half the time lol yeah though, there's a plastic or resin for practically any purpose, injection molded just has a nice soft look
I had this idea about a year ago, but never could afford the equipment to put it to the test. Thank you for making this! Its great to know that this can be done so much cheaper with mostly the same quality!
I like the way you integrate all the techniques you've been using into these more advanced projects. Its like the payoff to watching a show ever everything comes together in the end. Love this channel.
I’ve been printing for about three years now and I’ve been following plenty of channels for tips and tricks, but how have I only just now found yours? These are really interesting and informative and at the same time funny and entertaining. I love how you come across explaining everything and the editing you do for your videos is great!
I can feel your excitement when it all starts to come together. Congratulations Crafsman, its been a while bringing it all these different technologies together but its wonderful to see not only the quality of your results but how excited you are by them. Looking forward to what comes next as always. Stay safe!
I am continually in awe of the depth and variety of knowledge that Crafsman shares with us. Seems like there are few creative realms where our host has not experimented at least a little. Love seeing these experiments and new adventures, it is inspiring. Thank you!
Excellent example of rapid tooling, an expanding application of AM, combining the speed and low(er) cost of AM for the tooling and the high throughput of tradtional mass production for batch production.
Hey Crafsman, don't sweat people saying injection molding isn't interesting to them because it's cost-prohibitive. It's still very cool and interesting stuff, and provides inspiration in a bunch of ways.
Watching your videos puts me in a good mood no matter how bad my day is. And re-watching them at bedtime helps me relax, Forget about my problems, and drift off to sleep. Thanks for all of your wonderful content. You and your family have been around for us these past few years that have been so hard on everyone. We love you guys!
Crafsman, first let me just say that the depths of your knowledge and your willingness to learn new things is extraordinary. Secondly, this episode had my favorite music tracks you've ever done. You throw an album up on band camp of your tracks and let people like me throw you a few dollars for our listening enjoyment.
This is my favourite RUclips channel for crafting stuff. Your videos are easy to watch, yet I'm continually surprised by certain little tips you throw in as if it were nothing! Like how to pigment the pellets- I haven't seen that explained anywhere and I was concerned I wouldn't be an option. Thanks so much for all your great work!!! Stay crafty.
This is pure gold, Man. I LOVE this video. This is the first of your videos I've seen. I laughed, I laughed till I cried....and then I learned something. THIS is what we should all aspire to be when we teach anything. I don't want to subscribe based on one video...but I'll be checkin out your other stuff. This is amazing fun and education all in one. KEEP doing this. The internet needs YOU, Buddy!
Ahhhh Yes!!! I was like "Oh Snap!!!" "Craftsman sure just did get a double burn right quick !!!" I can hear all the keyboards just key key keying away as they all got set off ...
I got a kick out of your excited finger drumming. I'm unlikely to ever injection mold anything but we all still like watching your process Crafsman. Love the work!
Sir , I have to admit that to me, you have the most estrange accent I have ever heard and I like it. It gives the video an interested personality. Also you video was most interested, I have subscribe. Congratulations great video.
Siraya tech is the best out there .That is my exact design flow. But I wet sand to keep the dust down. I am looking into ejection molding and this is exactly what I needed to see. so thanks for this . And great idea for the printed holders.
YEAH! I am glad that worked! 3D scanning often involves a lot of clean up and sculpting in software. It helps to sculpt it big and shrink it in the software.
Haha my guy been putting in work. I remember your first video I watched. You were the only guy that knew about the Sagmaster from Captain Crunch. Lol. Love your videos man.
Oh so excited to see what comes of this! The "A" figure is on my list as a must have haha! Also, obviously that wasn't even the right notebook 😉 (gotta send you a refresher pack for giving me the nudge to launch my Patreon)
:D Thank you so much for the encouragement! And I've used your delightful notebooks to the point where I gotta start writing on back pages. They are fantastic! :D
Google got this algorthim right for once! From the opening of the video I was hooked. How well it is put together, the artistic nature of the presentation and how fully you took me back to my coastal southern roots with my summers in places like Savannah and the gulf coast of Alabama and Louisiana with the immediately distinguishable dialect. You have a goodun shoog...
Great video! I wonder if a fast way of getting a perfect fit would be to intentionally print your mold a bit smaller than the mold box, and then fill in the gaps by pouring in some liquid resin and hitting it with a UV light.
I pray this southern black accent is real! I love it so much. Video quality and content is amazing to. Full course of entertainment and education here!
Lol I laughed my a** off when you mentioned the little bear from star trek! Now the question is, was it intentional? Either way it made me laugh pretty hard. Got me interested in injection molds!

"Nonflushtivity" that's a useful word right there.
I had to pause the video, I was laughing too hard from “the bear from Star Trek”
The exact comment I was looking for!! I ain't even mad at him. 🤣
@UCBOnfeFSSliXQQJWHsHmJlw the "bear" is an ewok from Star Wars. Crafsman is just doing a little trolling
Edit: he deleted his comment
That's some great trolling he's got right there 🤣
lol, with the amount of star wars figures he has, even if he was being serious about that comment he's still a bigger SW fan than all of us! :)
Been waiting on this one. Excited to see those results
Thanks, Uncle Jessy! :D
Someone mentioned I should use your trick of UV curing a coat of resin over the print lines to get a smoother finish. That is slick!
1: How have I never seen this channel before today?
2: How does this dude put in so much personality into everything? I absolutely love it!
Same
Same
my thoughts EXACTLY
gotta be that guy too.. same
Gonna have to say same too. Why can't we have an A.I that ranks videos based on actual entertainment v.s interactions.
I reckon injection molding is the next big thing for makers. With 3D printing and cheap CNC machines becoming better and better, its becoming possible for anyone to make their own moulds, which has always been a barrier of entry to injection moulding.

With lost casting, it’s already a reality!

Check out the Buster Beagle injection mold machine. Cheap to make, easy to build and works like a charm!
Injection moulding is already happening in the form of back room, short run, plastic kit manufacturing. Basically people are using engraving machines to create the moulds. Some of the kits I've made have been manufactured buy a single guy in his house for decades.
STUFF I FORGOT TO MENTION:
- That PTFE lubricant I rubbed on the bottom of the vat (FEP film) keeps my 3D prints from sticking. If you do this, be sure not to leave excess lubricant.
- The squid figure wad modeled in trueSpace 3D 7.6. It is unsupported and lacks the convenient features of modern modeling software, but I've used this program since 1998 and know the keyboard shortcuts. :) One day... I may learn Blender. (And Fusion 360.)
- It _is_ possible to use a 3D printed mold directly without the metal frames. -I have NOT tried it with the Siraya yet (would need to re-print these molds, because the sides are angled).-
I did try it before on a rectangular mold printed in Elegoo Mars Water Washable resin. I used a metal washer where the nozzle meets the top of the 3D printed mold, and a metal plate behind the mold to distribute the clamp pressure. The mold did wind up cracking, but I was able to get a few pieces before that happened.
STUFF I NEED TO TRY:
- Mounting the 3D printed molds a bit *proud* from the aluminum frames. I made them flush because I figured to do otherwise would be just asking for the 3D printed molds to crack. However, now I'm thinking letting them protrude a slight bit may allow for a tighter fit, slight compression, and minimize flash.
- -Using Siraya printed molds straight, without metal frames.- UPDATE: I tried this, and it works. I used a metal block between the mold and clamp.
- Siraya Tech Sculpt CLEAR. I've been told the clear allows for a better post-cure, possibly resulting in an even stronger 3D printed mold.
I too started in Caligari trueSpace 3. But it was so liberating to discover Blender 2.0 beta in 2000 when browsing a book store or a library. trueSpace had no chance, it's anything but robust.
By the way, there was Sculptris which was free and was now replaced by zBrush Core Mini which is also free. It's not as powerful as Blender sculpting but might just be comfy enough.
TrueSpace was my jam back in the late 90's/early 2000's cool to see you using it. Shame that Microsoft bought it and file-13'd it.
do the donut tutorial by Blender Guru to learn the basics and key shortcuts for Blender, then watch Ian Hubert's videos for more advanced use cases.
I would be really interested in how this mold would work without the metal frame🤔

14:44 Those excited happy tappy fingers!! Truly the highlight of my day. I love seeing Crafsman so excited for toy making.
Not gonna lie, that bought a big smile to my face seeing those happy tappy fingers.
So many awesome things in this video!
Tinkercad, shapr3D, resin 3D Printing, toy making!!
for real he did a great job putting it all together.
The real question is, would it be good enough to make small-batch runs of HIPS minis!

And the TrueSpace modeling software.... hmmm 🤔. I think I will download it.
Crafsman has 445K followers for a reason 😉
“Little bear from Star Trek” I choked on my Cherry Coke. 😂🤣
😂
In my case, it was an ordinary cola i almost choked on. :'D
I laughed so hard the way he he cut it off too
He caught me off guard with that "Little bear from Star Trek" remark.🤣🤣🤣
U want a Sprite Cranberry?
Glad you figured out a way to make molds without ordering the expensive tooled ones

Do it! I dare ya!
we have been blessed for another 20 minutes
Why do I love the way this guy talks so much?
If lumber prices don't come back down...start 3D printing and injection molding it instead!
There's actually folks out there who mix sawdust with recycled plastic to make recycled plastic lumber like that.
HA! Mannn, I like how you think! ;)
There's a global shortage on plastic pallets, so currently see what you can get for a low price.
Great idea Dave! I can't afford the lumber to finish my back porch. Do you suggest resin print of fdm? In all seriousness though, funny comment.
The ridges look cool, Brother TCM! It’s like the little figure has its own fingerprints. 😇 I love you and Crafsfamily. I hope everyone is blessed!
“Or tha, uhh, lil’ bear from Sta’ Trek.” 😆
Industrious upgrade. Like how you handled the CAD. Maybe we can get some key ring characters from you.
Thanks for the video.
I want you to narrate every show I ever watch from now on. Your voice is perfect. Don't change.
Crafsman, I will likely never get to do this kind of work myself but I LOVE getting to watch you do it. Thank you so much for sharing all of your adventures, and making all of us feel like such a big part of them!
Thank you! I hesitate sometimes to show injection molding stuff because I know it's not a widely-done thing, so comments like this are very encouraging.
i love how soft injection molded plastic looks, it's a different kinda opaque from resin
Its "injection molded". And that's just one kind of plastic. There are thousands of different resins.

yeah though, there's a plastic or resin for practically any purpose, injection molded just has a nice soft look

This is the most relaxing channel on RUclips! We love you Craftsman!
TrueSpace! I haven't seen anybody using that (but me) in years! Glad to see you are keepin' it alive, CrafsMan.
Oh snap! :D It's really neat to hear from someone who even knows about ol' trueSpace! :D
Too cool. And with because of you mostly, I purchased a 3D printer.

Thankyou CrafsMan for sharing your discoveries. DIY molds for Injection molding. This...changes...everything! 😃
Congratulations, Crafsman! I know this has been a big thing for you. So cool to see the progress. 😁
Love your channel! The intro made me smile on a grim morning. Thank You!
“The little bear from Star Trek” is just too precious
Man Ive watched a few of your videos now.
The molds are informative. But Im really here cause you're basically a comedian.
GJ sir. Love your style.
Thank you for continuing to share your wisdom, crafsman. Appreciate the thoroughness that goes into these videos.
how am i just finding this channel? I love this man! i could listen to him all day
Crafsman I'm so happy that you stick with the 3d printing the molds. I knew you could do it. :{J
This is pure gold, Man. I LOVE this video. This is the first of your videos I've seen. I laughed, I laughed till I cried....and then I learned something.

your camera work and narration quality are spectacular! professionally made video right here.
"little bear from star trek"... I had to pause the video while I finished choking.
LOL, yes. Craftsman is trying to craft a riot.
Crafsman, you are my favorite person on the interwebs!
"The little bear from Star Trek" is gonna trigger some folks you know? :)
I lol'd
Ahhhh Yes!!! I was like "Oh Snap!!!" "Craftsman sure just did get a double burn right quick !!!" I can hear all the keyboards just key key keying away as they all got set off ...
That was SO intentional :D
Your edits always make me smile. Thank you CM!
"CAUTION wear you some gloves" lol brilliant!
I got a kick out of your excited finger drumming. I'm unlikely to ever injection mold anything but we all still like watching your process Crafsman. Love the work!
"the little bears from Star Trek" just killed me 😨😂😂😂
How have I never heard of this channel. Best thing I’ve found on the internet since Napster.
3:57 HAH! That got an actual laugh out of me! 😂😂😂
I’m a mold maker by trade, this channel is my new favorite
Oh dang, I want to get some of that sriracha resin!
Sir , I have to admit that to me, you have the most estrange accent I have ever heard and I like it. It gives the video an interested personality. Also you video was most interested, I have subscribe. Congratulations great video.
"That little bear from star trek" 🤣🤣🤣 love it
The humor is so subtle and fast, it’s my favorite kind. Oh, crafsman. Never change.
Good Saturday morning, Craftnation! Good morning, that little bear from Star Trek!
Siraya tech is the best out there .That is my exact design flow. But I wet sand to keep the dust down. I am looking into ejection molding and this is exactly what I needed to see. so thanks for this . And great idea for the printed holders.
LOL! "That little bear from Star Trek" hahaha. Thanks for the laughs
I will pay this guy to commentate videos, because he the best I've ever heard

... that little bear from Star Trek..... how dare you! XD
Dino Riders baby....ooooh man I loved that toy line so much when I was a kid. I think I still have the movie on VHS.
Time to put off working for 21 minutes while i watch this.
Haha my guy been putting in work. I remember your first video I watched. You were the only guy that knew about the Sagmaster from Captain Crunch. Lol. Love your videos man.
Oh so excited to see what comes of this! The "A" figure is on my list as a must have haha!
Also, obviously that wasn't even the right notebook 😉 (gotta send you a refresher pack for giving me the nudge to launch my Patreon)
:D Thank you so much for the encouragement!
And I've used your delightful notebooks to the point where I gotta start writing on back pages. They are fantastic! :D
1:58: "That little bear from Star Trek" LOL I'm quite certain that was feigned ignorance.
i'm going to the store to find some little bears from Star Trek
Google got this algorthim right for once! From the opening of the video I was hooked.

Very much intentional. He knows how easily triggered trekkies are. 😊😊😊
First time watching on this channel.... weirdly mesmerizing, informative, funny.
MY BAD! I spaced on the mold release reminder, I was still laughing from the paper shim solution.
Really excited for you Crafsman. Glad you kept troubleshooting and figured it out.
SO PUMPED FOR THOSE LUMBER PRICES TO COME BACK DOWN!
MEEEEE TOOOO!
I love the chilled out vibe you have to creation.
