    Look, as a long time Shop Time watcher, when you bust out the Micro-Mesh, I've come to expect the whole spiel. It's important to me that new viewers know that Micro-Mesh uses it's own grit system, that starts at 1500 and goes to 12,000.

      or what if you could have one sacrificial magnet completely covered in filings, and then try to center it in the resin using other magnets outside the cup to constrain it. The other magnets might mess up the pattern or make it cooler!

      @@joeshmoe7967 Glue the magnet to the tip of a thin plexiglass rod and hang it in the center of your cup, then apply iron filings to make a round "flower, and gently pour in the resin. That way, you wouldn't have the external magnets deforming the flower. When you finish turning, the rod should blend in and be nearly invisible. With the "flower" suspended in the middle of the sphere, you would not have to cut into the filings.
      side thought: Even if you used a square magnet, the "flower" would take the shape of the magnetic field, not the magnet.

Maybe you could get some cool swirl patterns by sticking part motor under it and then messing with the RPM. You could try to match the viscosity of the resin with sugary water so that you could test things out for hours without wasting the filings.

    Theres something so satisfying about a resin sphere, I'd love to see additional ones in future, i wonder what you could make hover/suspend in one. :D

    Powerful magnet on the bottom, and a powerful magnet on the TOP! That would be epic. Make the iron filings reach each other, and then encapsulate it in resin... Freakin awesome.

    It would be interesting to cast two hemispheres, each with iron filings blooming from the flat face, and adhere them!
    Also, I think the people that were upset were confused newcomers more than anything.

    If you could somehow dye the iron shavings you could make a Corel sphere. Instead of it being yellow resin it's light blue.

    Gorgeous! I'd love to see a similar project where you do 2 casts and glue them together so the center of the sphere is a star burst of iron filings

    Did you finish the sphere (wax, etc.) or are you looking for a rust layer on the exposed shavings?

  • @OvAeons
    @OvAeons 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Another idea on an 'iron sphere': attach a magnet to a clear thin plastic stick and suspend/secure it in a 2 half mold and carefully sprinkle the iron around it to form a spikey sphere that is suspended in the center. Could turn out neat.

    tip 1:
    put a dash of silicone in between the measuring cup and the magnet to help prevent tilting
    tip 2:
    if you have a lid for the measuring cup, take a 6" long 3/16" bolt with washer through the center of the lid. then, trim the perimeter of the lid to leave a 2mm gap between the lid and the interior circumference to the cup. attach a funnel to the pour container and let the resin follow the bolt threads down to the lid as it dispenses the resin to the outer edges. spin the lid to more equally distribute the resin where needed. bonus points for drilling a hole down the middle of the bolt to help escaping air pockets.
    tip 3:
    put the wooden base on marionette strings or a mounting bracket with elevated, detachable handles

    I was convinced the magnet was gonna do something violent in the pressure pot. I would've encased it on 4 sides with blocks of wood, but turns out your method worked! Beautiful result. I bet it would look even cooler with an embedded LED or 2 at the center of the flower.

    Next idea! Take a spherical magnet you don't mind sacrificing. Suspend in a cup using something that should disappear in resin, maybe fishing line. Cover in iron filings to create a starburst. Fill cup with resin and turn into a sphere. :)

  • @jackweinrieb
    @jackweinrieb 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    When i read the title, i thought the filings themselves would be spherical, and i have an idea of how to do this. You could have one sacrificial magnet completely covered in filings, and then try to center it in the resin using other magnets oitside the cup to constrain it. The other magnets might mess up the pattern or make it cooler!
