  • Welcome to Robinson Foundry. In this video I will be using the lost PLA method to turn a 3d print into an awesome and colorful bronze casting. I started by printing the model on my 3d printer and then coated it with a ceramic material. I then fired the shell in my kiln and then poured brass into the shell. This is similar to the lost wax casting process.

    this turned out amazing!! Zane is a really fantastic artist and to see his model transform into your metal casting was out of this world. every time i look at this metal sculpture and the previous ones, i wonder if people years from now finding and studying it like those sci-fi movies haha.

    Great work! Usually fine sand is used for a first layer and coarser sand for the rest. You may also consider building a "sand boiling bath" for even coating. This is what used in industry.

    Amazing work! Have you considered trying to print an internal shell that is filled with casting sand and plaster to achieve a thin wall of bronze. Similar to lost wax casting of sculptures. This would use much less bronze.

I am really hoping to see more of your projects and I am hoping you'd make a championship belt plate, more specifically the "Big Gold" world heavyweight championship 'coz I've always wondered how belt makers cast bronze or brass in such a huge size. Hope you'll notice 😁

    @mattcoates8648 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for these awesome videos! These are always really great to watch. Could I ask you, is there a limit to how thick you can cast something? I am really impressed that you were able to pull this one off without getting any shrinkage or pitting. I did not know this was possible at that size. Do you have some method for this other than adding a really big sprue? Do you cast the metal at a lower temperature or something?

  • @stevendephillips2490

    Seems like when you coat the print with wax it doesn't crack during burn out. It might be the wax melting first and giving the PLA some space to expand and cot crack the coating.

    Maybe you could use ABS filament, lightly spray with acetone to smooth the print lines, cast the mold, then use more acetone to dissolve the filament completely.

  • @Imhotep397
    @Imhotep397 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Definitely A+, although I wish you’d left it shiny. I am wondering whether quenching a bit after the pour would help with cleanup by cracking up the coating would work with this or whether it would warp some things?

  • @raven-gb3yx
    @raven-gb3yx 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    A simple way to tell how much metal you need is probably filling the cast up with water weighing said water and converting the weight / density into whatever metal your using

    Hey man i really Love your videos and i learned so much from your channel. I Want to ask you, what proportions do you use in your casting sands? I Want to idé a combination of petro and bentonite but im not sure what ratio to use and what oil work with the clay. Could really use some guidens. Keep Up your great work! Best regards from Sweden!

    • @robinson-foundry
      @robinson-foundry  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you very much! I buy pre-mixed petrobond so I don’t know what the ratios are. Bentonite will not work in oil bonded sand. Petrobond uses Bentone which is chemically altered bentonite. Bentonite absorbs water and the Bentone absorbs oil. I’ve looked into making my own petrobond and I have come to the conclusion that it’s a whole lot better to just buy 100 lbs, it lasts a long time. Hope this helps!

    I think it may be a good idea to get a threaded rod (printed, wood, metal, doesn't matter) that threads into the sprue (print threads into the sprue hole). Then you can have an easily removed handle for dipping while avoiding having to burn out the wooden handle each time.
