      @peterhutchinson2836 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Hey was thinking that you could use the joints in the making of the sockets. Maybe you could do it in two parts with the main portion of the cast being cast first. Then make a hole where the socket would go making sure that the diameter is larger than the joint. Afterward you could maybe pour resin into the hole with the joint in. Which would leave an impression.
      Hope this helps!

    Hey Crafsman, long time viewer here. I think contracting out to a manufacturer with the setup to mass-produce your art and your friend's gift figures is a wonderful idea. Think of it like this: if you wanted to contract a run for the free-range chicken, you still had a hand in its making. You had every hand in its creation because it's 100% your art, your figure. People want to buy it because they want to share a part of that joy that you had in making it, and they love your show and want to think of why they like what you do when they see it; sure it's nice having something made by hand, it really is, but it's just not feasible when you have so so many people wanting to share in that joy. I can tell you I'd be super happy if I were able to get a free-range chicken even if it was mass-produced, because then I'd be able to paint and enjoy a free-range chicken. As it stands, I missed both releases and didn't manage to get one, and have no access to a 3-d printer to use the one on your etsy shop. Maybe this helps your decision, I hope it does, whatever you do I'll keep watching and keep steadycraftin :)

    @TheCrafsMan  4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Wow! THANK YOU ALL so much for the feedback and ideas! :D
    So here's what I'm gonna try next:
    - Attach half-pegs to the arms and body (at the flat areas where the parts meet).
    - Make a mold of these parts, pegs attached and all.
    - This SHOULD give you a mold with places where you can pop in actual Glyos pegs, BEFORE pouring the resin.
    - NOTE: The pegs in the arm molds would have mold release applied, so they can be removed after.
    - The resulting cast should be a body with actual, strong Glyos pegs, and arms with sockets that match.
    I may film that and put it in a video if it works. Or maybe if it doesn't too.

  • @PokettoManStar
    @PokettoManStar 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    My favourite television program on TH-cam!
    An idea for adding Glyos sockets to other figures. Make a mold of a Glyos piece, then dremel down your cast until you have a little cylinder with the plug hole in the middle (like a Lego 1x1 cylinder). Copy that plug-plug, and add it to your custom figures.
    Basically, make bigger sockets in the torso, then slot in the smaller, more stable Glyos socket.
    I've been doing this with Figuarts pieces :)

  • @joshpoole6056

    Crafsman, there is a simple solution to incorporating the glyos peg into your silicone molds. All you have to do is incorporate the glyos pegs into your master to create the negative in the silicone mold. Then just plug a glyos peg into each negative in the silicone before you cast resin around it. If you want it to be removable, just spray some release on it. When your resin casting comes out of the silicone mold, it will have the glyos peg cast in place, and no worrying about the silicone undercut getting worn out. Easy peasy :)

    • @TheCrafsMan
      @TheCrafsMan  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Y'all nailed it, man! The closest thing I thought of was removable pegs slid in from the sides during casting, but it makes TOTAL sense to not even do that, but to just incorporate the peg into the cast! Gotta try it, my man! Thank you!

    Thank you for your videos. Its been a dream of mine to make action figures that people would enjoy playing with and collecting since I was a kid (I'm 23 now). I've been sculpting my whole life and have been trying to figure out plastics on and off for the past 2 years. All of your videos have been invaluable to me in trying to figure out how to make molds and which resins to use for the differing durability the figures will need. I've been trying to make an action figure/ model kit series of robots with interchangeable parts that I can mold on tree sprues just like a model kit to save time during casting and to capture the experience of making a sturdy, modular model kit. I was really discouraged for a long time after constantly failing to get anything right with mold making or pressure casting and having no one to learn from for the admittedly niche thing I've been trying to do. But with every video you make I feel like not only am I watching a great video of someone who shares the same dream and passion for this hobby of toy making, but I'm getting so much closer to getting to my dream of making that perfect toy with all of the clever tips and techniques you use. I'm back on the horse thanks to you and hopefully soon with some more of your videos and hard work I'll have these toys done soon. So thank you and please keep steady craftin'.

    Please like this suggestion so the Crafsman will see.
    Crafsman - My suggestion might not be the best, but I seem to have a hankering to remind you of the old G.I. Joe Action figures I used to play with as a kid. They had slot and groove knees and elbows. But for the articulation of the legs and arms, they used a special type of rubber band that was fed through the torso and attached to the arms by eye hooks. The eye hooks were sunk into each arm and then the rubber band was inserted and the eye hook was closed, so the rubber band would remain attached. The articulation worked through tension. The eyehook then was pulled into a recess in the torso and the arm was held in place by elastic tension.
    It might be an easier solution for you to attempt. It seems to be a style that isn't used anymore, but it might suit your needs. G.I. Joe figures from the mid 90's used this style of articulation.
    If you read my suggestion, I'd appreciate your feedback.
    Thanks! Keep crafting!

    Hey Crafman, I loved Captain Planet when I was younger. Also I may be able to help a little, I hand cast my own tiny ball joint mold using mold max 60, even with a low tear strength it worked. I just made sure before pouring the silicone, I used a fine tiny brush and painted the silicone into the undercut to poke out any bubbles. I then poured the rest of the silicone. It worked perfect with no bubbles. And worked for many casts. This may help you with getting a clean cast to test your joint system. 💪👍

  • @ricklepick9148
    @ricklepick9148 4 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    Seems like you might could get some round stock turned, with the shape of the peg on the end. These would be kind of like temporary 'arms' during the casting process. Snap those in the body (you'd need to get the receptacle part in the body somehow - lost wax type of process maybe?) and pour your mold over the hole thing, leaving a bit of the 'arms' sticking out of the mold so you can get ahold of them. After the mold is set, pull the 'arms' out and now you will be able to de-mold the body. Now you have a 3-part mold - the main cavity and the two 'arms' that will create the receptacles in the body. Push the arms back into the mold (you'd need something for them to register against for accuracy), then pour your resin. If it has a little flex to it, you should be able to pull the 'arms' out and de-mold. Maybe that makes sense, maybe not, I feel like I'm ramblin' like the CrafsMan.
    Anyway, that's kind of how that would be done in a production environment, except moving the 'arms' in and out would be all mechanized. You might not get the longest life out of your molds, but I'm sure you are clever enough to figure this one out.
    Your videos are amazing, thanks for brightening all of our days.

    Crafsman - I've made molds for a long time, if you drill the peg holes oversized, split your character in half,and embed the desired peg in a semi-rigid clay (Like Roma or chevant #3 or 4) Put the halves back together and cast a negative mold with a strong/flexible material (Like smooth-on Dragonskin) You should be able to mold the toys and pull the mold pegs out...

    Hey Crafsman, make a polymer clay Crafsman action figure with the peg already inside where the points or articulation are, then cut it in half the long way top to bottom like a G.I. Joe body and take out the peg. Then carefully put the two haves back together so the peg cavity isn't misshapen. Then bake it to harden it and put some really flexible silicone in the peg cavities before making a mold for the figure. Then you should be able to pour resin to make the action figure and the flexible silicone wont mess up the arm peg holes with air bubbles and will come out easily without getting stuck since the silicone will only stick to itself. Hope that made sense. It has worked for me in similar situations in the past.

Definitely get in touch with Marty though too, he's always super helpful and has helped tons of other Glyos producers with their sculpts/production figures!

    Yes, there are ways of molding the socket joint pockets you want.
    1: Make a cylindrical pocket in your pattern, trim the bulb section off one of the barbell connectors, stuff the trimmed end in the cylindrical pocket, and mold. Demold the pattern and modified barbell. Install an unmodified barbell in the mold and cast a new piece. The new piece will have a bulb pocket on removal of the barbell connector.
    2: A cylindrical pocket in a model can be carved into a bulb pocket with the right Dremel type cutter. Say a 1/4 inch ball cutter on an 1/8 inch shank operating in a 1/4 inch hole; lower carefully on the central axis, move sideways til the shank hits the side of the bore, drive the cutter around in a circle counterclockwise. a section of the bore will be relieved outward by 1/16. A steady hand and a foot throttle for the Dremel is advised, but it is possible. Practice on a scrap piece.

    Ok two ideas...... a tiny Free Range Chicken accessory to go with the Crafsman figure.
    And a subscription to your figures. So we could just have the new figure or accessories shipped as you come up with the neat new stuff .

    There is a unique originality to short runs that a maker has produced himself. That in its own right hold a great value. On the other hand mass produced gets out to more people and allows the joy to be shared.
    How about a short run of say 100 homemade special ones, then larger run of production type ones that are cheaper for all the kids, and collectors who want to help support you.
    Keep up the great work! Love this video, and all the ones you do! I like the Glyos peg system for the arms personally.

    I think its a great idea to mass produce the craftsman figure because that will probably be in highest demand. You can always keep making other figures and crafts handcrafted by yourself for your etsy shop.

    You shouldn't have to apologize for people wanting to enjoy your "craf", nor for being able to benefit from it. By openly sharing what is unique about you and how you can improve your life by doing so, you inspire others do the same. Make them, sell them, share the joy, and make enough money to take Mrs. Crafsman on vacation. Why? Because I would bet we'd all love an example of how we can do the same thing. Collective individualism. It's like the peg system for joy in life!

  • @emptycouch
    @emptycouch 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Choosing a peg system would allow you to produce alternate limbs or - if you make further collectible figures in the same scale - the parts between figures could be interchanged. I think that this would add to the collect-ability and fun.

    You could possibly make a mold of your figure's arm with a glyos peg in it. Then each time you plan to cast the arm, you could put a glyos peg in the mold, and then pour in the plastic. The plastic will mold over the peg, and then the arms will have grooves in them, allowing you to remove the peg and put in pegs as well.

    You make your figures, you ramble on, and keep any type of sound you want on your videos Crafsman. You be you because we love ya just the way you are. Have you tried drilling a hole then putting molding putty in and pressing the peg in. Then letting it cure and pull the peg out? Try that, or make a trash mold of the figure in two halves then cast the halves with half the arm holes on each side. Put it together and then remold and cast as one piece. Of course you would have to do that with the body and both arms.

    Craftsman as much as I would love a piece that was personally touched by you I would also just like to be able to get one. Maybe you can do a small batch with crafsmama and then a large production run and randomly box them. I think that would be a happy medium like you talked about earlier

  • @jacobqueen3113
    @jacobqueen3113 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I think I might have an idea for your molds CrafsMan. Try CUTTING one of those Glyos studs in HALF and glueing them both ends to your torso figure. When you have them where you want the articulation to be, then you can cast a mold. After you have your master-cast mold you can PLUG two FULL Glyos pegs into the MOLD at the articulation points. You should then have a mold with the PEGS going "INTO" the torso. Then you can just make a torso cast. Hopefully those Glyos pegs can be pulled out the torso leaving you with two perfect sockets! I don't know if that will work, I've never made a mold. I could be off base and you really were wondering how you'd make a single piece mold work when you have two pegs sticking into the walls and you gotta get your cast out without damaging the mold. If that's your problem [Shrugs] I haven't got an idea on that. CrafsMan if you happened to read, hope it helped. Thank you for making these awesome and entertaining vids. If ya didn't read well, looking forward to seeing what solution you do come up with :].

    I'd never even heard of Glyos before your premiere the other night, and now I want all of them LOL :-D I'm loving the variety in your recent videos! I wanted to give you a resin recommendation for your printers - check out the Hero line from 3D Resin Solutions. I think it would be an excellent resin for printing action figure stuff, I've been really pleased with the results out of my Photon with it. Not the cheapest stuff money can buy, but it may be worth a look for ya. :-)

    • @TheCrafsMan
      @TheCrafsMan  4 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Thank you! I'm open to trying new printer resins. It would be for the single "master print" that I'll pull molds from and cast in a tough resin, but even having a little extra durability in that one print isn't a bad thing! :D

  • @Guaspicharo
    @Guaspicharo 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    @TheCrafsman SteadyCraftin it would absolutely be possible with a resin cast if you did a bilateral two piece mold. One half would be the front of the figure and the other would be the backside. You could sculpt your mold to accommodate an actual glyos peg into it meaning you would pour the resin into the mold with the peg put in place beforehand so that once cured it is a part of the resin casting. Each time you cast a new figure you would just pop in two glyos pegs for the arms, close both halves of the mold and pour. Each body of the figure would have some flashing around the edges (which could easily be removed) but your glyos pegs would be encapsulated into the body with the portion of the glyos peg needed for the arm sticking out.

    • @TheCrafsMan
      @TheCrafsMan  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Phenomenal idea. I was wondering about pins inserted from the sides during casting, removed when demolded. But your idea made me slap myself on the forehead: Just let the pegs be.
      I’m thinking I’d still need to do the same thing for the arms, but remove after, resulting in a matching joint. Outstanding. Thank you!!!!!
