Thank you so much for the opportunity, seriously! We're very grateful! I didn't want to mention it, because I know how I get sidetracked from one project to the next, but I'd really like to build something like a large Fisher Price style playset using the rotocaster! ;) :D
It’s super cool! Is there a way to program a speed curve for the fast-start slow-finish method mentioned in the video? I’m imagining telling the Rotocast the cure time for each resin, and allowing that to stretch/shrink a standard logarithmic curve.
I love that even though the Crafsman is so proficient in multiple crafts, he will still get so excited by something new and go on a whirlwind of exploration. I remember when injection molding caught his imagination and so now I'm excited to see what rabbit hole of discovery this leads us down 😁👍
This is absolutely INCREDIBLE. I remember hitting the last page of Google search results back in the day trying to figure out how to rotocast vinyl without placing a huge order to a factory- this is groundbreaking! So exciting!
He's super conscientious about the machine's performance, which I admire. He legit wants to know that it does what it's supposed to. Really fine machine, and great guy!
Thank you for continuing to push the limits of home-production toymaking... and then sharing the process! Your videos are so informative, while always being entertaining!
Okay, this is the best video I found on TH-cam. Thank you very much for giving hope to create something of your own with your own hands, which does not require a whole factory to implement. I have been thinking about creating my own doll heads for a very long time, which could be sewn with artificial hair. Alas, in this industry, only plastic hard heads printed on the printer are still available. Now there is hope for the creation of soft like factory heads. Thank you man! Shoot more videos!
Hearing crafsman get so excited at the successful vinyl pull had me grinning from ear to ear! The joy is infectious!! :DD cant wait to see what you guys do with this awesome new method of making toys!
So happy that my DIY sofubi method worked out so well for you! The flexible silicone looks like it is the way to go for this! I think you forgot to mention my name, but it's all ok!
Jonathan, did I not mention your name?!? :| I have it noted (from when I asked how to credit you) so I thought for sure it went into the voiceover. I hate to have missed it. I'll make it up to you since I'll be working on more soft vinyl content. Holler at me on email when you get a chance - I want to send you some of these vinyl figures.

I love these videos. Such a chill style and awesome to see the rotocast digital 12 in action 😊
Man you can hear the excitement in your voice at the very beginning of this video. I knew it was going to be a good one! Then again, they are always good!
I need to thank you for making these videos. I have been thinking about making my own toys like this for a while now and really didn't know where to start. even contacting some of the other sculptor/casting TH-camrs seeking advice has left me with an empty inbox. i really appreciate all the work you have put into this.
So exciting to see you working on this stuff! I'm definitely in the market for a benchtop rotocasting machine, and that one definitely fits the bill. And that VINYL - So amazing to see a DIY version!
Hey buddy! Thanks so much, as always! I really appreciate you. And I neglected to show in the video, but the inner and outer rotation speeds can be set independently. :)
wow these videos are incredible. Not only are you great at communicating and educating. But the detail and quality of the video production is also top notch. Great work
I miss you crafsman!!!! So good to see a vid of yours pop up to me again, you where one big help for me to go thru the pandemic!!!!! Cheers froms Brazil!!!
@@cjcarver6290 That is an interesting and sticky question. The movie "adaptation" of Stephen King's Lawnmower Man, which King later sued to have his name removed from because it was a mixture of King's story and another titled "Cyber God." That name is hilarious due to the connotations the word cyber gained in the early days of the internet. I am referencing the film when Jobe, the titular Lawnmower Man, is in a large Aerotrim, or multi-axis trainer, that pilots, astronauts, and web based deities all use to train. Seeing this awesome Rotocaster immediately brought this insane movie to mind. Hope that explains it!
I was thinking to make a comment suggesting using metal dust to impregnate the si molds. Then a moment later the magic sock was adding copper. Brilliant. I may never make sufubi but watching your and Craftsfams progression is a wonderful thing. Thanks again for sharing your excitement with us all. I’ve had an exciting idea about tesselating motion sculptures that need molding skills… I’m too shy to ask.
Awesome video. Even after finding out the entire Sofubi making process I decided that I'd still want to go the way of the silicone mold. I think I will consider an electro-plating setup for doing chrome and metal on plastics. Video actually helped figure out some things I wasn't sure about. Thank you so much!
Love your channel Crafsman. I'm so happy that you can pursue your passion in this way. Just got my stickers in the mail. Thank you so much. ❤ I am blessed by having you here. Thank you.
Ive seen sand casting...lost wax casting...even a guy who rotocasted plaster to do metal parts... there's always options or a way...not going to lie...im a little jealous of the new rotocaster....lol
You legit do not understand what you’ve done. You broke down the giant iron doors of sofubi and opened the kingdom to EVERYONE. I’ve had this idea in my head for a while now, but couldn’t figure out the heating part. I don’t have the space for a large oven (japan…) so it wasn’t something I could test. But you could, and you did, and it works. I feel validated. I’m figuring out now how to get a small oven shoved in here somewhere… 😅 Wow. You have my eternal thanks for this. 🙇♂️ (you also basically made rotocasting unnecessary)
Hey, thank you SO MUCH for the encouraging words! I really do get a lot of motivation from comments like this. ALSO... before getting an oven, consider taking a look at the chemical/"fryer" type units. This is the next thing I want to try, because it's closer to what's done overseas, and I have a feeling it releases less fumes than oven-curing (although I do have a vent pulling fumes through a carbon filter to outside, as well as a respirator). I'm wishing you success!
Fantastic, entertaining, educational video, as always. You do such wonderful work, Crafsman. How often did you have a failed figure once you got the gang molds running?
Usually it'll be a situation where the whole batch is under-cooked, or either they all worked. I HAVE had a couple times where the end figures in the gang mold cured better than the inside, but like I said, it's usually all or none. It will depend on your mold size/thickness as well as oven capabilities (ie. is it a convection, etc.?). We've also thought about whether or not an "air fryer" would work.
Thank you. Sometimes, Im not very motivated to work on my own crafts. But your videos always get me pumped up to try out the tips on my own. Thank you so much for being you, Crafsman
Pewter would melt at the temperatures you are using but Zamak (zinc & Tin) melts around 700F and can still be molded with high temp silicone molds. You might look into a Zamak sleeve/shell/matrix for your silicone gang molds. Also, Zamak molds will hold up longer than silicone or resin for injection molding.
Thank you! Zamak! I bet that's what they use in a lot of the Mexican injection molds, as I've seen them make some from pewter (or plaster then pewter). I appreciate the info, Andy!
Small pedantic point: Zamak is zinc, aluminum, magnesium, and copper -- thus the name, which is an acronym. (In German, so it's Kupfer rather than Copper). For people who don't know: It's what most diecast toys are made out of. And you have to be careful about impurities, because otherwise it will get "zinc pest", which is what causes some old diecast toys to crack and crumble. Nifty to know that it can be cast with high-temp silicone! A zinc-tin alloy might also work for this; it looks like you can get those as solder, and melting points range from 300F to 650F depending on ratios. Interestingly, the primary use is for soldering aluminum, which I didn't know was possible. I'd guess Zamak is cheaper, though.
Hey there! It is possible to hand-rotate your molds. Just know your resin cure time (and/or keep a "witness cup" of leftover resin out on your workbench, to see when it's cured) because rotating a mold for extended times gets old really quick. ;)
Ooh! I’d never even considered rotocasting could be viable at a hobby/small scale before! I would just sit and watch that thing and be mesmerized by the movement. 🤣 Just like with my 3D printers… 12 years later and I still love watching them print. I wonder if there’s a way to combine rotocast with heating the vinyl suspension stuff. 🤔 Heated spinning vats of liquid may be a little too spooky. Haha
Hey Crafsman, I got a neat trick to calculate volume in in weirdly shaped molds. Just fill 'em with water or another liquid of your choice and then pour that into a measuring cup.
@thecrafsman , You make the bad days brighter. Thank you for being a springwell of inspiration to creatives, and a positive encouraging role model to other creatives. STEADY CRAFTIN Friend!
I use liquid latex and mix it in with my acrylic paint. I also add some clear polyurethane and some polyethylene glycol to improve flow. Works great on soft and hard plastic epoxies.
Impressive. PVC is tricky. It is chemically not very stable so it breaks down rapidly at elevated temperatures. Thus the browned castings when you overdo it.
He's mentioned some of the music he likes before, and there were some that leaned alternative like The White Stripes, and I might be mis-remembering, but it was that Depeche Mode was a favorite. As someone who got Violator...(on cassette lol) for a high school graduation gift that resonates.
Crafsman, that is very very Event Horizon - especially 'cause we don't need eyes where we're going, we can play with them nice soft figures with our fingers!
Hey crafsman, do you thinh releasing a series of the astronauts that appear in the thumbnail of your video? I have the pocketnaut and those could be a good company for him
What do you mean... Event horizon is a 90s sf classic, it is gore but amazing, shame that original tapes were lost/destroyed so we cannot have an extended version or better 4k release.
It has to be the most unnerving atmosphere out of any sci-fi movie I've seen, hands-down. Did hear they lost a LOT of footage (and that some of it was unbelievably gory - from the "scape" shots) and that had it been put together as intended, it would have been a more solid film.
Man!!! I am going to attempt to try this!!! Question. Is that ecoflex 00-30 good to use on resin? I know certain silicones won’t cure properly to resin. Wasn’t sure if you primed yours or did anything before you used that ecoflex. Ty Mr.Craftman 🤘🏼
Hey that's a good question! So far I've applied it over resin (Smooth-Cast 65d in my case) and it worked fine. HOWEVER, I've noticed these EcoFlex and DragonSkin silicones will BITE DOWN even if the surface is super glossy/slick. Especially if you leave it a day or so past cure time. Kinda interesting. So I add Mann Ease Release (you can use your own DIY release agent) and that takes care of it. Parts come out of the mold super easily, which results in a mold that has a slick surface conducive to plastisol removal. :)
Crafsman, have you ever tried spraying your resin with Shellac before painting? The Shellac is alcohol based, so I don't think it would hurt the resin and paint sticks to shellac real good.
It is such an honor to see the Rotocast Digital 12 featured on your channel CrafsMan!! Thank you!
Thank you so much for the opportunity, seriously! We're very grateful!

He's super conscientious about the machine's performance, which I admire. He legit wants to know that it does what it's supposed to. Really fine machine, and great guy!
Never miss a video from the Crafs Man. You really set the bar for chill wholesome videos
Thank you for continuing to push the limits of home-production toymaking... and then sharing the process! Your videos are so informative, while always being entertaining!

Crafsman is a mixture of Bob Ross, Mr Wizard and the cinematics of Alton Brown. Pretty much perfect for my Gen X sensibilities. Thanks so much.

I love how different, but still distinct your son's sculpting style is! That's really cool
You have motivated me. I have always wanted to create toys and things like that. Now I know it’s within my grasp. Thank you very much.
bro my son and i have watched your videos since the beginning it’s great to see you’re still at it great video bro
It's amazing that home-made sofubi are a reality! Thank you for this wild and exciting video and all of your work on this!
Hey, thank you for the motivation along the way! I'm still pushing to make it better (I think incorporating metal will maybe help). :)

You've got the spinny, flippy thing (Rotocaster) so we can finally have a toy become The Lawnmower Man. Hooray!
Lawnmower Man? Stephen King's Lawnmower man?

The event horizon comment had me clicking subscribe, that “oh my god” told me all I need to know about this channel, and great video and review.

So psyched this came up during my lunch break! Always worth the wait, sir! God bless!
The soft figure saga continues! Can't wait to dive into this one, Crafsman!
I always feel like I’m settling in to watch my favorite TV show when I see a post from TheCrafsMan!

Amazing. Simply amazing. Thanks for breaking down the soft vinyl wall!
This is so cool! I love the feel of vinyl toys. It would be so cool to see a full playset in your style.
Wow your channel is such a positive vibe while learning something new! This is what our model should be for our school systems CrafsMan
holy sh*t how timely!! making toys rn, and this upload is what I needed. TQ CrafsMan
Love me some Pixies……and some Crafsman of course. Once again happy to see you get excited about your new toys.
Crafsman! Where did you find the footage of them electroplating the sofubi molds?
Pewter would melt at the temperatures you are using but Zamak (zinc & Tin) melts around 700F and can still be molded with high temp silicone molds.

Hey Crafsman, I got a neat trick to calculate volume in in weirdly shaped molds. Just fill 'em with water or another liquid of your choice and then pour that into a measuring cup.
@thecrafsman , You make the bad days brighter.
Thank you for being a springwell of inspiration to creatives, and a positive encouraging role model to other creatives.
STEADY CRAFTIN Friend!
Time 12:31 ,What is the white liquid you pouring to the mold? Where can i get some?
2:09 HAHAHA I got about two minutes into that film and gave up on it right then 😂
I use liquid latex and mix it in with my acrylic paint. I also add some clear polyurethane and some polyethylene glycol to improve flow. Works great on soft and hard plastic epoxies.
Impressive. PVC is tricky. It is chemically not very stable so it breaks down rapidly at elevated temperatures. Thus the browned castings when you overdo it.
I didn't not expect a reference to The Pixies "Where Is My Mind?" in a Crafsman video!
He's mentioned some of the music he likes before, and there were some that leaned alternative like The White Stripes, and I might be mis-remembering, but it was that Depeche Mode was a favorite. As someone who got Violator...(on cassette lol) for a high school graduation gift that resonates.
I think the fumes finally got to him... heh
I have been struggling to find the proper plastisol. Thanks for the information.
This was so dang enjoyable to watch. I saw you mentioned electro plating. Have you seen @Hen3Drik here? Does 3D Electroplating tutorials
Uncle Jessy! :D Thank you so much, sir! And I'm about to check out Hen3Drik's channel! :D Thanks again!
I may have missed it, but how long does it take to make one mold in the Rotocast?
I love this! Such great information, thank you!
I found your channel today, just loved it. Great job Crafsman
SO EXCITED about this!!! SOFUBI! xoxo
"I have mo desire to ever watch again" 😂 The amount of times I've said that about a "blockbuster" film.

Been listening to «Roads That Bend» now and again ever since your cabin intro video Craftsman
"..a movie that I never want to watch again." Yeah, that one gave me nightmares for years. Lol.
Will you be selling these new designs soon? They look great! Congratulations on a successful sofubi pull!

What do you mean... Event horizon is a 90s sf classic, it is gore but amazing, shame that original tapes were lost/destroyed so we cannot have an extended version or better 4k release.

Hey that's a good question! So far I've applied it over resin (Smooth-Cast 65d in my case) and it worked fine.
