Turn your 3D prints into METAL! Full sand casting guide
In this video, I walk you through my process of turning a 3D printed model into a shiny metal cast piece! If you're curious about metal casting using 3D prints, this tutorial is for you. I’ll show you how I prepare the 3D model, print it in PETg filament, create a two-part sand mold, and finally, cast the metal into a sand mould using an electric kiln.
Chapter breakdown:
0:00 - Intro
0:11 - 3D modeling and printing
1:00 - Mould making with sand
2:43 - Taking out 3D print from mould
3:24 - Preparing aluminium
3:43 - Melting and pouring
4:50 - Taking out metal from mould
5:24 - Cutting and polishing
6:38 - Final product
Key steps include:
-Designing the model for easier sand casting
-Smoothing the 3D print with a wood burning tool and files
-Creating a strong sand mold for casting
-Melting aluminum in a kiln and pouring it into the mold
-Polishing the final metal piece to a perfect shine
Whether you're a hobbyist or a maker, you'll enjoy learning about the
challenges and techniques of sand casting and achieving a professional -finish. Be sure to leave a comment with your thoughts, and subscribe for more DIY projects!

    The porosity, which you call blemishes, are due to air bubbles being pulled in the cavity during the pouring, which makes your metal very porous. You need to decrease the diameter of the riser, and build the poring basin in a way that the riser hole will always have metal full to the top when pouring. Also add the gates to the parts from the bottom of the mold. Filling the mold from bottom allow for much less defects and decrease bifilm formation.

    Feels like there's something missing here... Despite Python communicating with Arduino, wouldn't you still need to code into the Python script what to do with said information? Python can read through the serial com port that the user has 'pressed' the button on the joystick by reading the button state going from 0 to 1 or something... but how does Python know that state '1', also known as, state 'button is pressed' means fire laser... Shouldn't there be additional code somewhere in the program (usually in pygame you have event loop) that looks looks at an input and then triggers a fire_laser() type function based on what that input is?

    • @MakerVibe
      @MakerVibe 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hey thanks for the comment! You're right. There is a game loop as you mentioned, and in there is a bit of code that is reading in serial data. The serial data has 0 if the button is not pressed and 1 if it is. So if the game loop reads in 1, it spawns and fires a laser. Have a look at the code from lines 59-72, where the serial data is read in and used to drive the game loop. Hope that helps!

      There are a few ways, but a lot depends on your power source. You can either add more LEDs in series with the one you already have, or you can add more parallel branches - one branch per LED. You might need a separate resistor on each branch, depending on your power supply.

    • @MakerVibe
      @MakerVibe 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Great question. There are several ways to do this depending on what hardware you have. Here are a few ideas for you: 1) Use a microcontroller (e.g. Arduino). If you are happy with programming basic Arduino sketches, you can achieve the effect you mentioned very easily. 2) If you don't want to write any program, you could try one of the following options. But bear in mind that these require a fair bit of electronics knowledge to make: (a) Use a relay. You could connect the LED circuit to a relay module which will turn on with one press and stay on until you press it again. (b) Use transistors. This is quite advanced, but using transistors which are essentially electrical switches, you can also achieve the effect you're after. This is quite technical, though. Hope that helps! Let me know if you need more details, I'll try my best :) My personal recommendation is option 1, the microcontroller. You can much, much more than this with a microcontroller so if you're interested, it is well worth getting one.
