I made a complicated SIMPLE TOY with DIY injection molding.

- It is possible to make injection molds using a resin mix. I don't like using 3D printed molds directly, for reasons of weaknicity and brittleness. (This may change when that Siraya Sculpt resin comes in.)

This mans voice sooths away the pains of the day
Nothing like breakfast and crafsman on a Sunday morning
(nice boat)
Or work on a Monday for some.
Nothing like dinner and crafsman on a Sunday night
A small world it actually is.
Holo
"Craftsman, you making a mold-mold?"
Das correct.
This guys voice is hilarious
Why not 3D print a mold for the mold?
Crafsman is over here helping calm down my anxiety.
He's really got a way of doing that.
the southern accent and calm demeanor makes the perfect combination
Truly amazing how the rest of the world fades away like that, long enough to appreciate this wonderful artist, teacher and gentleman.
I consider him my personal therapist 👍
If you want to really calm your anxiety, change the speed to 0.75x and take life slow, it makes the video last longer too 😉
Idk if it sounds weird, but your voice helps me fall asleep!
My man, thank you. To know I'm of a help like that to someone is a big deal to me.
One of these days I won't fall asleep watching one of your videos. Not because they're not interesting, they always are and I re-watch them afterwarda. But dat creole drawl just got me sleeping something good.
No preasure pot, just a tooth pick and a friendly negotiation with the bubble ❤️
Crafsman I gotta say even though injection molding is far out of my price range, every time you make a video you inspire me to work on my art even more. Thanks for being always being a beacon of positivity
Makin crafswork does cost money. I will say this, I used to do this sort of work (my younger days), but this is what I love. Still is inspiration, nothing but love to y'all
At first I thought Crafsman why not just use your 3D model and pay a company to make a metal injection mold you can use to make thousands of injections... then I looked up the cost... Crafsman is not made of money.
Crafsman, the Bob Ross of 3D printing
You have been one of the few constants and non threatening pleasures this last year. You have allpwed me escape from fears from being overwhelmed and upset.
Thabk you for bring us on your ride and thank you for be such a great conductor and engineer.. What a fabulous trip you take us along with you on.
Keep on crafin my friends
Today I learned the fine art of Bubble Negotiations.
Crafsman and Sunday morning. Name a more iconic duo.
Ha! Nice try but you can't fool me. I know a trick question when I see it.
Going to have a friendly negation with the bubbles - so peaceful
"CrafsMan you makin' a mold.. mold?" blew air threw my nose on that one 🤣🤣
Crafsman! You have become the Dr. Frankenstein of craftin'.
You are also the most charming, informative and entertaining man on YT IMO ❤ Thank you.
Wow. Thank you so much for that.
@@TheCrafsManUR welcome. Also gettin me a Venmo acct. to send u a litle sumpthin' sumpthin' 🎉
crafsman, i wanna thank you for your video about square breathing. it really helped me a lot during my days lately. i know you won't notice my comment since a lot of comments going in but still, thank you so much, now i can control my anxiety and stresses. god bless you and your wholesome crafsfam. love your work!
🤩 Crafman that character is awesome! A TRUE Crafman make things to use supplies on hand.
this mans accent and dialect is for some reason calming.
I'm new here Crafsman. So glad we found your channel. My husband and I like to make stuff and we love your style. You make us laugh teach us and inspire us.
Welcome to the addiction
@@biggafigure8575
It really is lol. Going back to catch up on his videos and loving it.
I love these videos, almost no sound effects or music. Just his soothing voice and a project
Crafsman, thank you for making a difference. ..I told my son about you and your beautiful videos....he watched some and felt his anxiety drop to almost zero - and he was actually able to sleep. He is a 19 year old soldier in our US Army. He is also a blacksmith and a classically trained singer (opera) who gave up his scholarships to serve his country before his college. He loves crafting...everything from jewelry making to furniture making and running the wood lathe...a true artist like yourself. Hugs to you and the Crafsmama, and we will all keep on steady crafting❤❤❤
Do you have a link to his blacksmithery? I’m always interested in helping out those that help us out. My EOD group all watch him as well with similar results and none of them really do anything “crafty”...now some are starting. Salutes to you and your son.
Protip from someone older but similar, the sooner he uses that GI Bill, the better.
@@hazonku thanks! 😊 Yes, he is almost through his AIT and will be shipping to Germany. He plans on doing college while he's there and then finishing when he gets out.
@@biggafigure8575 thank you! He has an Etsy shop and he is on Facebook at Penfield Forge.
In his absence, I have stepped in and create for him at the forge and the lathe. He taught me blacksmithing...and I keep the home forge lit until he comes back. I don't make the knives, those are all him. Thanks, and keep on Steady Crafting!
@@jenniferbutcher8393 yes ma’am, I’ll check it out!
The best ASMR channel on TH-cam
Crafsman relaxes me more than my anxiety meds
“Get your money’s worth when you can”
I can’t even begin to tell ya how much of me that is when it comes to scraping every last bit of material up. 🤣
That's right! :D That mess is expensive so we're gonna use it ALLLLL. :) Thanks for watching!
Thanks for clearing up the aluminium/pewter mould idea. I was wondering why you weren't trying that. Makes sense now.
Tinkercad is such a powerful tool for getting started with the design. It'll take you really far and when you can't go any further there's fusion360 sitting there just waiting for you with a smile on it's face.
This is one of those incredible channels that you just happen to find one day.Thank you crafsman subscriber for life brother,love finding stuff like this😎
I gotta say my dude, I love the use of the 1x2x3 block for pressure distribution. That was beautiful.
There is just something so calming about hearing CrafsMan talking. We need some story time with CrafsMan to simplify those stressful days.
This man makes the best quality videos, interesting content, he is funny, sweet, kind, this is the best example of great You Tube content. I wish there was an academy award for videos that had the best heart made by really smart people, he would win over and over again. Thank you sir.
I hope the Crafsfamily is aware of just how much you mean to the internet family you've built. We love you and the whole family Crafsman! You quite literally have tens and tens of thousands of people waiting with bated breath every Sunday for a video release that we each know is going to make the rest of the week to come. Your voice and mannerisms are a tonic for just about anything that ails you.
This guy's voice is putting me to sleep bit what he's doing is keeping me awake and interested. I love this feeling
For so many reasons this just became one of my favorite channels in the history of time 😄
Crafsman it's a big inspiration for me, every time I see his videos it helps me to just relax , empty my mind and start being creative after a really hard day of work
So happy to be of help! Thank you!
oh man, watching the little white robot guys made me really happy - the sound and bounce really gave me nostalgia. gosh i love rubbery plastic toys. happy stim!
Ok. Hold up. Stopping at 3:35 to exclaim THAT IS GENIUS!!! Carry on...
14:40 again!
You're the Bob Ross of DIY.
Crafman, I've recently found your channel and have binged nearly every video. I've never made crafts outside of some seasonal things but I find you and your process so relaxing an interesting. Thank you so much for what you do, you are fantastic.
If i had only one word to discribe your work and your channel in gereral it would be UNIQUE
Best way to end a Sunday with the CRAFSMAN!!!!!!
Oh man you answered my big question I’ve had for a while. Why not use resin prints directly in the injection mold
Sounds like that one resin might actually do the trick. We'll find out shortly after he does.
Hey Uncle Jessy! Mannn, I think it is possible, but not with the standard resins. I'm pretty excited to try the Siraya Sculpt!
Also, the size of the details make a difference. My resin molds break easily at those little peg areas, but if you're molding a more organic or smooth object, with larger details, I bet you could get several shots out of it. And embedding it in a metal frame should take it even further. Thank you for watching!
@@TheCrafsMan always excited to see the stuff you’re working on!
What if you 3D print not the mold, but the finished product with air channels and ports already attached? So the opposite of what you printed. One less step to then create the injection mold, lose less definition.
@@TheCrafsMan I've seen silicone molds that are designed to mold things like pewter and such (I think its called Mold Max 60). Do you think it possible to use that instead of the resin molds that you used in this video? The only issue I see with that is that it might flex during the injection process, but might using a metal frame be able mitigate that?
I think these are the most unique videos I've ever seen. And the amount of work and skill that surely goes into them? Hats off to you Crafsman!
Crafman, you're coming up. You keep loving the Lord better and better like you do, talking like you do, improving like you do, and giving us these videos as you can! I like yo stuff and it's a light in my life. Thank you for it.
I was making pancakes the other day and a little cloud of flour puffed out of the bag when I opened it. I thought CraftsMan would want me to be wearing a dust mask right now.
Did you hear the song in your head? I always hear the song when something like that happens.
@@biggafigure8575 Same. Emptying the vacuum, kitty litter, sawing
You should ABSOLUTELY sell prints of your figure sketches. I would 100% buy a copy of that sheet with all the different figure variations sketched on it.
I’m just gonna say it- we don’t deserve the craftsman. 👌🏻
CrafsMan be like the father figure on TH-cam none of us knew we needed but glad we got, alright.
Just started watching this mans videos today, can't stop watching his videos and im okay with that.
I love this character, it's super cute with the faces inserted.
Yeah, they're great, they would be really popular if they were in stores, especially with kids playing Among Us cause they sorta remind you of the game, but they look more cute.
When you speak it makes me smile
This video was fun. This is what it feels like to fiddle around and make somethin
One reason why parts of the mold also pulled out when you injection molded straight into it is because you have no draft angles on your model. With drafts you'll get much better results, but the mold is still not likely to hold up to all too many pulls either way.
[edit] of course you mentioned that already 😄
Here is something that both you (Switch & Lever) and TheCrafsMan might want to look into Microwaveable soft plastics that are usually used for bait making. I know it's still pretty expensive however TheCrafsMan might already have many of the things needed for this. Also I think he could just use a standard high temp silicon mold and just pour it in using a glass measuring cup straight out of the microwave. This is a youtube called Marling Baits that tends to use a lot of similar techniques to carve baits. It seems like you all have your own little tricks and secrets that have built up over the years that are specific to what you are trying to do however you might be able to solve each others problems. He has his aluminum molds made by Epic Bait Molds and uses a large hand held injector so it might be worth looking into.

@@evilcanofdrpepper TheCrafsMan doesn't own a microwave. He's mentioned it here and there.
@@mplumer88 yeah but he has a plastic injection press and that is a more expensive thing as he can find a microwave on the side of the road or use a gas burner instead.
@@mplumer88 I’m awarding you points for paying attention all these years lol
Those little peg areas that pulled out might have held up better with draft angles, but I wonder how small an angle we can get away with and still have the hoses attach firmly. If it comes out of the mold easier, I reckon the hose would pull away easier too. I might coulda went on the low end with a little 3-degree angle. That may have been a good compromise.
Learning a little more every day. :)
Crafsman, did you know I’m an injection mold machine operator for work? Now you do. Have a great day.
Crafsman I got some three quarter inch copper pieces with a mans face on it that would be perfect! And the best part is they’re cheap. They’re only a penny.
:D That's what I'm talkin about! ECONOMY!
You the GOAT 🐐 of DIY injection molding
I feel like this is the real Crafsman. It’s been feeling like you weren’t yourself for most of last year. I missed the oh snaps and the random hello! I don’t know what it was but you seemed different and this feels like the Crafsman I came to love watching.
This guy's voice! I find it pretty entertaining. Mind you, I don't meet many people in my area who speak in the way that he does
those silicone makers need to be sponsoring the crafsman..
I’ve fallen asleep 3 times trying to watch this video but like in a good way. Is this asmr?
CrafsMan the magic man, making more minions. 🤩
You inspired me to make a mold for my kids toy to fix it. Worked like a charm. Thanks Crafsman! The whole family and I love watching your videos.
Crafsman you are a genius love your work brother also would love to purchase one those little characters you creat. Anyway stay safe and steady crafting 👍
I have a plastic injection machine in my studio - been messing with is for a few months and these videos are really useful since i get to see someone else experiment without wasting all my money on non starter uideas.
I can’t think of another TH-camr I love more than the craft man
Hey, them people wanting what they want is not going to make this channel. You have been making this channel with crafMama for a while now because you're teaching. Give it time, brother. Your views are picking up as more people are watching. We like you. You're the only youtuber that is better every time I see you. Please, keep honing your skills first, then give us these tight vids.
TheCrafsman is AMBITIOUS. Well done alternate universe me ;)
I like the little cookies and cream robots.
I just discovered your channel while looking for silicone mold tutorials. I am hooked. You're like the Bob Ross of crafting. Thank you!
We would love to see the Crafson more often. Who’s with me?
Wow such a well designed and multi setup little creature!
A-Mod indeed!!
Great videos!!
It’s new Crafsman video day. Which means it’s a good day.
I’ve got something I’ve been wanting to make a proper mold of and always thought 3D printing it would be the perfect way, because the mold won’t flex. Good job.
This guys the Bob Ross of making! New subscriber inbound!
Crafsman, one thing you can do to help with longevity for the resin molds is designing a slot to add a metal washer at the injection point. Have a great day!
I love the step for removing the silica packet. Made me chuckle.
That was 100% for real just in there. I sorta noticed this lumpy part, and thought something had clumped together (the aluminum powder in the resin), but then noticed it had a rectangular definition to it. LOL!
It's like seeing BMO from Adventure Time, but its an earlier prototype. A-Mo(d)!
Your voice is like a really relaxing version of Mike Tyson.
Mister...your voice is so suiting and relaxing and your creations are adorable. Please have a great day
We are all ready for a daily upload. We can’t handle the wait for next week!
Thank you, Crafsman.
A-Mod turned out A-Mazing.
Hey crafsman - we need some sticker sheets of your cool concepts. They'd be cheap to mail and I'd certainly love one or two of 'em on my laptop. Keep on being the great inspirator you always are.
I like the look of this A-mod character idea with interchangeable face, etc. I would want it to come with the matching magnifying lens piece and a couple of example faces - most importantly the anime eye ball. So glad to see you survived the project, was worried about you since last Sunday LOL. peace and love.
Man, I don't know who you are or how you wound up in my recommendations. But I'm sure glad you did! Content, delivery, humor, knowledge....everything is on point. You got another subscriber. Thanks for this.
CrafsMan... I’m not sure how to tell you this but... one of the only times I don’t feel dead inside is while I’m watching your show. (I’m serious!)
Thanks CrafsMan!
You have one of the most sootherational voices I have ever heard man. Great content too, keep it up!
Love the bird noises at the end!
You don’t complicate, you awesomcate.
That little lense over the face was neat. I learned something today. I had not heard 3D Print Resin caused silifone inhibition. Good 2 Kno. Thank you again CrafsMan. Keep on Steady Filmin. We love ya.
Always a highlight when you upload! You have such a marvellous brain, I wouldn't think to make all the neat little changes and adjustments that you do, I'm always so impressed with how many good ideas you have.
Hey Crafsman! I fought surface bubbles with toothpicks and my fingers for years. One day I said...look here...let me try this lil ole cheapy kids paint brush from the dollar tree. I now paint details on with silicone and resins each time on tough little elements and I'll never go back! I get 12 for a dollar at dollar tree. Just a friendly tip for the most amazing fella on youtube!
That is a mighty fine tip!
Watching Crafsman while taking the supports of my 3D printed Crafsman figurine! 😋 soon to be used as a pattern for metal casting 👍👊
I really enjoy watching your process and your out loud thinking, thank you Crafsman.
Yay!! Just what I needed this dreary Mississippi morning. 🖤 what you do!
High point of my week is always a new SteadyCraftin video. :]
Morning mr crafsman! This little figure is just so cute! I love the one with the little eye up on him, he's looking out for... Opportunity!
That little thing is soooo cute with its little smile🤗🐝❤️
WOW Crafsman!! What a labor of love, thank you for doing this crazy complicated video for us! It's amazing!
Alright!
That little character turned out real fun! I like the hollow face, reminds me of the movie poster for The Thing :D
