  • In this video I will be casting Gizmo from the movie Gremlins. I started by 3D printing Gizmo using polycast filament. I then added the wax sprue's and made a mold of him using investment plaster. The plaster mold was then placed in the kiln to melt out all of the wax. I melted down an ingot block of aluminum and poured the molten metal into the mold. After the aluminum solidified, I removed the solid aluminum gizmo and cut off all the sprue's. I then fixed some imperfections by hand with my rotary tool. If you like this video, please give it a thumbs up and hit that Subscribe button for more.

    Hey everyone, I hope you’re all having a great week so far. I’ve always like Gremlins and Gizmo is my favorite so it seemed like a fun piece to make. I hope you all enjoy it. 👍🏻

      I saw Gremlins way too young (I think I was like 5) and they gave me nightmares, haha :D Lost wax casting is an interesting casting method. Great result! :)

    I’m reminded of gremlins everyday bc my husband got that nickname while working at Disney and he legally added it to his name so on drivers license birth certificate of our kids our marriage license and he got it be he wore this crazy rain outfit when it rained here and he’s an i.t. Guy

  • @noviceartisan
    @noviceartisan 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I hope you've got a couple of weld spots on the baseplate and the tube. If you do get a breakthrough, the pressure and heat of the metal can cause the pure siilcone seal to break, and the metal to lift up the tube itself. If they're tacked and covered over with silicone (inside coat cant' hurt too lol) then you're safer. With how big you've made yours, it's more of an essential safety tip lol They cut off with an anglegrinder in hallf a second, but save you from puddlle of fun xD
    (Yes, I found that out the hard way lol)

    Nice work🤗 Though maybe that wasn't Gizmo, maybe that was Spike instead with that little deformity on his is head sort of resembled Spike's mohawk. Afterall you did dunk it water to cool off.

    • @ArtByAdrock
      @ArtByAdrock  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I’m really not sure, maybe the plaster broke off a little.

    • @honthirty_
      @honthirty_ 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Two areas of restricted flow on in- gate caused turbulence. At his feet #1 and feed from below pouring basin to where split for feet. Either maintain flow with a constant cross section in gates or restrict gate and feed from bottom. And plaster still has bonded water in matrix, so molten aluminium fell from feet ~ 4 in to head area, abraded away soft area where you added 2nd pour casting plaster, less silica particles there and big temperature shock.
      Doubt you need the vacuum while casting Al even though jewelry guys swear by the process. If it worked as proposed, why would you need vents at ears, hands etc?
      Just my experience, since 2005, YMMV.
