Would love to see a video on designing a part like this and how to make a 3 part divisable mold.
Love it.
It's always good for people to walk you through it visually, but if you can model the finished part the rest is relatively easy.
Create a square or cylinder body that completely encased your part, create a hole for pouring. Use a boolean function (name may differ with software) to use the model as a tool to hollow out the mould to shape. All that's left then is to consider the split lines (how the mould comes apart and, more importantly, how it locates on reassembly) you can create surfaces along these split lines and use them to split the solid body.
I know it sounds quite simple, but start simple and you may figure out on your own.
Key things is to consider are draft angles, try to avoid pulling mould surfaces parallel to castings surfaces, and try to avoid fine detail. Small features are often hard to fill with casting material with the use of pressured filling methods or break off easy when splitting the mould.
Me too!

Balloon is an excellent idea! Going to use that.
Silicone spray works a charm for prevent concrete from sticking, just give it a once over before you pour you mixture and it will super easy to get you mold off.
Wow what a great design; love the rotation symmetry usage in the design!
I love your works, man! Thanks for sharing them.
Thank you so much for the balloon trick! This is really cool! I already tried different molds and I always ended up having trouble removing the inner piece. And by "having trouble" I mean, I totally trashed the inner piece every single time to get it out even though I used oil / grease but it simply didn't help.
I tried exactly the same thing on my channel by making concrete candles. I also had exactly the same problem with removing the core of the mold. That balloon trick would have helped me so much. Youre a genius!
This is really good stuff. You should have so many more subscribers.
Yes, yes and yes! Fantastic work! Great video.
Nice job, wonderful video!
Very cool. Thanks for making the files free.
Nice result!
Printed this today. It's awesome
I will try that with a resin printer so I can create a finer outside texture and extruded emblems (like Celtic symbols) on the surface. Great video. Balloon thingy was really cool.
Try coating the core and exterior pieces with a thin layer of vaseline(petroleum jelly) on the interior of all mold pieces as well
I really like your videos! Keep it up!
Really great video! We're going to give these a try!
Thanks for taking time to do this video. Great idea.
Great vid, you are one of the few who talk with the right speed, not too fast, not too slow. Keep up the good work!
That would be "too"...not "to" surely?
Use construction grade silicone on the inside of the mold pieces that make up the outside design (the pieces that are in 3 parts). That way you can smooth out the ridges and make it look even smoother
awesome the trick of the core....
Fantastic! Special thanks for the files, I def. gonna print it!
asztapaszta9 awsome! Post a picture if you do :)
I made a bunch of these little planters with plaster and they came out great. Concrete still doesn't want to let go of the center plug. I've tried 3 times and even with a balloon it's a big nope. I think I'll try painting and sanding the center plug to a super glossy finish and then using a mold release product.
Alex, holy crap man - your content is enthralling. It's obvious to tell how much effort goes into these. You've got what we call "the knack", for sure :) Bless!
Fantastic idea
wow. I love the condom idea for the mold!! Good job!
I've already done similar 3d printed mold, destroying everytime the center part... Your balloon trick just killed me :D Thanks!
You are the coolest person on this planet!
Thanks for sharing your work, not only here on TH-cam, but on Thingyverse as well.
I look forward to print and try out your design.
Greetings from China
fantastic video! Tip for future projects: so that the cement does not stick to the mold you can use cooking oil that works perfectly! and if you add the ballon still better
Thank you for the great video!
Hi, really amazing videos and channell, I follow you from Spain, and I like your content.
Congrats.
Merci à toi - j'utilise tes précieuses idées sans faute!!
I have downloaded the files. Thank you so much. I will let you know how it went when I have finished them
get on with it :)
Great project! Amazing how creative you are with all your projects. How about coating the inside of the mold with something to act as a mold release? Silicone spray or even petroleum jelly. Of course if someone wants to paint the concrete or plaster after casting then you'd have to pick something that is easy to wash off. Silicone spray is not easy to wash off.
great as always!
thanks for providing a file , i liked and subscribed immediately🤗
Thank you for the balloon trick, I'm going to steal that for at concrete lamp I'm working on.
thanks for the vid! awesome
hi, is it possible to show us how to design these molds in software life 360 fusion ? that would be awesome :3
Step 1 sweep on path step 2 offset step 3 extend and then revolute it 360 degrees

Cheers for this :) makes for a great activity for children
Great mold! You should have an Etsy store and sell the printed out molds.
Thumbs up for the free download!
Super awesome!!! Thanks so much for the 3d model. I'm going to print this up and cast a bunch of these for my wife's birthday....she will be so stoked.
Do you drill holes in the bottom for drainage?
Cool! I haven't done that so far no.
Hi, what print parameters did you use.
@@polyteky I printed them using recommended settings for the PLA I used...nothing special. Printed easily.
@@PeterKNoone Thanks, what was the infill%
very clever!
a good brushing a petrolium jelly should help prevent the concrete sticking, and make it easier to demould.
Another great vid! Thanks Alex. And kudos on the ingenious design and free share. The balloon trick is also great, as many others have commented. However, I just wanted to add a quick remark regarding your suggestion about using plaster:
As far as I know plaster develops mold with humidity, as in the fungus. I would avoid it. But I could be wrong and maybe there are mold-resistant specialized plasters out there…
Anyway, great vid, keep up the good work
You can use vaseline to make the center come of more easily and also to get rid of the small layer lines from printing
You can try making a clearance guild line around the edge of it maybe that could help or as a slopr
Another thing you could try is rubbing petroleum jelly on the print a light coat
You can also print a thin center piece from TPU, will come out without a problem with some wax or Vaseline on.
I came because I like your videos and was convinced that I would never want to make this...Now I want to make this :D
Just give this man a like, he deserves it
this is a good guy
I love combing technologes
you can try oiling the mold with olive oil or any vegetable oil. It may work.
The other way to get the core out is a multipart core that disassembles to the inside when you pull out the inner core.
Love your vids. Cheers mate. Which type of filaments do you mostly use?
Subscribed and thumbs up!
Thanks alot maan !
Hi Alexandre! Awesome video and file. Can I ask what infill density you used for the files? Cheers!!
Thanks Alex
I just ordered balloons 😂😂
You nailed it!
And the planters look amazing!
Thumb up.
Subscribed.
This is an awesome project, thanks for the files! Can you please provide the print setup (I think it needs supports but not sure about infill, layer height, etc.)?
mcalin nope, no supports, print it as nice as you want, doesn't need to be super strong.
@UCe1Aj6VEO299Yq4WkXdoD3Q Thanks for the quick response!
Genius
awesome .. thank you
I had to facepalm within 1 minute when it dawned on me what you were doing. Why didn't I think of this? Another great great video, thx
Amazing ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Great project! Will I have any issues if I scale this model to a smaller version?
Muy interesante. Prontamente quiero realizar este tipo de moldee para Acer macetas de poliuretano reciclado!!
You could try a thin layer of epoxy resin on the inner piece to make it really smooth 🤔... But anyway a rly nice video 👌
Hi, thanks Alex for the video and files, does anyone knows the infill for the shells? when 3d printting?
greetings from mexico
A balloon! Thanks for the video
Hei, I just subscribed 👍🏻
That will be one of my first projects when my printer is finally finished 😊
Nice
Brilliant. I know I'm late to this party but this is an awesome idea.
Great! Thanks!
Hi. Awesome videos! Can you tell me what the coloring powder is that you use in this and the lamp video? Or where you can get it. Thanks!
Instead of the balloon you could coat it in liquid latex and /or use a flexible filament for your inner plug or maybe a disposable paper cup.
maybe some silicone spray on the inside of the three outer mold pieces to help the concrete release fully
Hello! Amazing work with that 3d model, I'm really impressed. Have you tried any mold release / wax / seal to inner piece for better removal? I wonder if any of those would solve the problem. Especially since not always you have such nice and simple shape to use balloon as you have here :)
Henryk Zając you can also use the brown packing tape, the one that is super smooth, but it doesn't work as well, and it's a bit more time consuming.
Love it! just curious what software did you use to make the mold? im not sure of my process ( 3d design the item then reverse the model?)
awsome...
so regular PLA will work for this project ? thanks for sharing!!
Subbed with thanks!
You should make these with drainage holes at the bottom
Super
Your Shirt color reminds me of StarTrek for some reason.
Have a question, can we apply the same technique to terra cotta? And is there a way to make a hole under the planter? I mean how can we model it for the mold
Hey how did you made 3d printed mould? Any video of making that 3d moulds?
Hi Alexandre!
Can you please tell me what printer and software you use, is the printer an expensive one?
Best wishes!
Have you tried this type of mold with designs embossed and or extruded from the surface? I want to try that with some of my vector designs.
What settings do you guys recommend? 20% infill and 0,2mm layer height? Cura says it will take about 28 hours to print all the parts in one print with these settings
Is it good to plant in a container with no drainage holes?
Is super pretty i like it.
Can you give us the link for we can buy the moule please cause where i live we dont have ?
Thank you.
You can download all the files for the mold for free :) the link is in the description :)

Thank you dear artist God bless you.
Such a great job, subscribed! What do you call the locating features? I want to learn. Also this would've cost me $300AUD how can you print these on a budget?
$300 AUD? This is like 200g of filament. That's like a 5th of a $45AUD roll in the US.
So sure, your first project requires a 3D printer (e.g., Ender 3 is a great start, especially on sale), but then after that the project gets cheaper.
Then you just need to find the plaster. So... aside from the printer, Maybe $60 AUD and then supplies to make many more after?
Try using cooking spray on the area where the concrete meets the mold. Concrete won't stick to it.
Is it necessary a 100% infill? Or what percentage did you used?
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Brilliant.
The best advice for me is to print the plug in TPU FLEX Instead of using the balloon, it works better. Greetings
tome su like buen hombre!!!
