Mayan Calendar Mold - Low Melt Metal Lost PLA - Chocolate or Soap Mold by grb352

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

Inspired by this guy and his low melt METAL molds,http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:26500
and some to this guy for starting me on the codinghttp://www.thingiverse.com/thing:31581
and this guy, for taking it to the next level (HiTemp-LostPLA)http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:82176
I chose this scan of a Mayan calender because it has a incredible amount of detail and I want to see how much sticks. Plus this started as a 3D scan (by someone else) and I want to learn ways to apply those scans. This 3D scan was massive, it choked my computer so hard I did most of my mold making with a blob the same size, so my render wouldn't take 1/2hr
v1 is meant to print flat, - quick and easy
v2, meant to print standing up to get better detail, but will take longer to print, and another just like it with supports. (those are not peace signs)
I have more low melt molds coming soon.
If printed in something flexible, this mold could be used as a Chocolate or Soap Mold with no problem. Please Try it :-)
v1 on both seems a little shallow at small scale, (see printed mold2 w/o supports) so I made a deeper one for mold2, this time. For this deep I am going to use the supports. for my first print, I printed verticle-square-no supports. came out fast and proper.
