Sapphos Head - Negative Mold for Low Melt Metal casting in ABS by A_Great_Future_in_Plastics

Last crawled date: 4 years, 8 months ago
This is a negative mold for printing in ABS and casting with
low melt point metals like Rose's Metal, Field's Metal, etc.
Don't mess around with this stuff if you don't know what you
are doing. I take no responsibility for anyone that melts their face off,
gives themselves lead poisoning, etc.
UPDATE: Uploaded new v2 mold with integrated pouring funnel
and air vent chimney. If you keep pouring metal until close to top
of funnel, you will exert more pressure on the metal filling the actual
mold and achieve a casting with better definition and fewer artifacts.
You will have to remove the excess metal with hacksaw and use a
file to smooth the base, but should provide a much more satisfactory
result than open topped v1 mold.
