    I've always been amazed at the work you guys from Eastern Europe can do. I would never have thought to use gelatin as a mold to copy a part and make a wax pattern. This has to be one of the best examples of skill, experience, and cleverness replacing money i.ve ever seen.

    This is a genius fix, really. The gelatin mold probably cost 1/20th of casting silicone, and it worked well enough. Likewise using random candle wax for the casting. For the people down voting, I'm reminded of a quote of what an engineer is by a co-worker - an engineer is somebody that can do for $5 what any random person could do for $50. This thing isn't going to space...as long as it doesn't jam and the teeth don't strip, it's fine. Nice work.

    My mother was a “Lost Wax Process" Bronze sculptor, and she did what was basically the same process at a bronze foundry to make her art. With one difference, She allowed the liquified bronze to displace the wax from the mold during the pour. Maybe it’s the size or more intricate detail, but she told me that purging the wax beforehand could cause air pockets to form, compromising the final form. Displacing the wax with the bronze directly helped to eliminate gaps. I’m not critiquing your process! Promise! I’m just curious. I’ve never met anyone else who does this. My mom was the only woman in the USA that did a sculpture that way. ( She passed away 5 years ago ) and I don’t think there are very many men left that do the process anymore either. I’m very impressed Most people cannot do what you just did by themselves in a fully equipped foundry. My jaw dropped. You get serious artistic street cred!

    I remember a tale from long ago when some student friends were allowed to visit, driving their old (so probably mark 1) Land Rover , part way through the journey the engine ‘died’, but they were rescued by the local engineer who adapted an engine they had by connecting it to the Land Rover gearbox, so that my friends could drive home.

    @Clipster15 5 ปีที่แล้ว +17

    I've actually never cast something, but perhaps in the future a riser (tall column at exit of casting cavity to hold molten metal) would help with smaller details like those teeth. I believe the blunt teeth are due to shrinkage, and mostly surface tension of the molten aluminium. The tall column (if wide enough) will stay molten long enough to supply metal as the (presumably small enough) casting cools / shrinks and most importantly (if high enough) put the casting under higher pressure to help overcome the surface tension and force the metal closer to the walls - making a more dimensionally accurate end part. That is my reasoning anyway. Still it is cool idea you had there to extend the teeth as you did, and it appeared to work. After the lathe cleanup, it looked great.

    • @dougaldhendrick3497
      @dougaldhendrick3497 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      First cast shows what happens when you don't fire plaster mold. there is chemical water embedded in the plaster, and needs firing to remove. When molten metal hits it, it boils and steam vapors are released, so pressure builds up internally and the metal can't hit the surface it needs to. If you are really silly and try this with much higher temperatures as in bronze and brass, you will likely get much more reactive and explosive results. I know this intimately from first hand experience. A small figure cast this way made it through the process, but it was riddled with air pockets like a sponge, and molten brass was spitting out of the mold for quite some time and distance. A case of run like shit until it stopped.
      I can estimate if the shape was bigger, and let's say was more undercut, it would have exploded fully.. a dangerous job to mess with without proper knowledge!

      @@dougaldhendrick3497 I can appreciate what you're saying about water in the casting plaster as I joined a craft guild in Annapolis MD, Patuxent Lapidary Guild for a Lost Wax casting class. For some long lost reason, maybe the vacuum dome machine was not in service or being used by someone else and it could've been at closing time, nonetheless my mold had much porosity. And the last of 3 projects a ring with grain of wood and a 10X30 cabochon of reticulated quartz i.e. gold hair-sized rods in a clear base of quartz looks beautiful! Well the ring broke from bubbles in the mold and that was the last wax of that pattern inventory we had. I might try to repair the ring to make a new wax as it's not currently in any book I've looked at, probably old!

      As someone who has done casting, I can tell you that you are right about the surface tension. It is very high for molten aluminum. A riser on the sprue and vent will build more pressure in the cast, forcing the aluminum into smaller details.

      The plastic gear is a safety feature, it's a sacrificial part. The door as it is now might cut someone in half.
      Odds are, the part was manufactured for a Western European market with much milder ocean-influenced climate and actually lasts a considerable time there; but extreme temperatures of Russia aren't particularly kind to it. PA is the most common material for gears due to high toughness and abrasion resistance, but it gains it by absorbing water, it's strongly hygriscopic. And what happens when you freeze water? Well it doesn't behave quite like water in a container , there is some leeway due to how water molecules are suspended, so a bit below freezing point is still safe, but freeze it deeply enough, the polymer will get torn apart from the inside.

      That is true but seeing how the garage door has to work in freezing conditions where ice can accumulate on the tracks, this kind of cheap plastic gear seems... not ideal. To put it mildly. Cold temperature itself makes plastics brittle and compounded by any kind of resistance on the tracks seems like as a part that has to be changed constantly.
      Cold always makes everything more expensive and i would have went with some kind of load resistor that cuts power if things get stuck.

    Great casting work I think you should be either in the jewellery or art business. On the other hand the plastic gear may have been intentionally the weak point in the system almost like the fuse in the wiring system. Metal gear equals no fuse. It's always nice to have a weak spot in the system that can break and be easily replaced.

    • @MikkoRantalainen
      @MikkoRantalainen 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I agree but the mechanical fuse should be cheap unlike full gear. Maybe the part that engages with the gear should be a stick of aluminium or even plastic? That would allow having full metal gear with full metal axle and the connection that transmits torque could be e.g. 40 mm long stick of 8 mm thick aluminium bar which would snap if too much torque is applied for whatever reason.

    While gelatin was a brilliant move, if you want a slightly more expensive option and need to cast more than one copy, get yourself a six pack of home improvement store variety 100% silicone caulk and a small can of MEK. Mixing what you can use within 15 minutes or so, squirt in 1/4 to 1/2 the caulk tube at a time and an ounce (or your measurement system of choice) to thin the silicone, mix it up to where it's pourable, and pour as usual around your chosen part. In a few hours after the MEK evaporates, you'll have yourself a very fine detail mold.
    Not skin safe, but works fantastic for making parts, figure casts, etc.

I made an entire silicone bodysuit that went over a lycra base that I molded on top of twill weave fiberglass (treated with the same silicone method to pick up the pattern for a flexible carbon look) and it worked great, plus I still have that suit after 5 years plus, and the treated fiberglass that I've used for gaskets and non-stick bases on other projects. You can also color the silicone with pigments as you would a commercial product. That whole suit probably cost me ~$50 in supplies, including the fiberglass, brushes, rollers, rubbermaid containers, etc. That much silicone in commercial grade would have come out well over $300, product only.

      Aluminium would pretty much break or wear out the same. Maybe it will crush your arm or foot in the door now, before tooth melt or break. I don't think anyone in Easter Europe would care that much. the plastics is likely PLA. At best PA12 Nylon or ABS. Had such a gear in my milling machine Einhell MT-65 aka Minimill clone. Replaced it with a tothed belt and a §D printed PLA belt. The SLS laser printed PA12 nylon should have been better, but the print process heat in the closed shop microcontroller software is less than ideal. So that wore out quickly. This technique would have allowed to cast either plastics or alumium for a direct internal gearbox replacement. If it had niot been for the belt drive to be the better long term option anyways I would have gone for such a replacement cast as well. It is simple genius.

      NovorSec it’s funny yet very true. The soviets were focus on scale not quality.
      The literal quote is “quantity is a quality of its own”. Meaning that it doesn’t matter if your tank or plane or gun is the best. If you have 100,000 and they have 1,000. You win. By default you just won by having 100x more manpower.
      Less complicated and more utilitarian. Also slant armor and realizing that rounds don’t have to be stopped but just deflected.

    But only one little suggestion: did you know about a special type of silicone - the silicone for moulding? I used it with with perfect results. This silicone could make easier first stage of the work. For ex. "condensation cure silicone moulding rubber"; producer: ACC Silicones (Italy).

      I did a series of small aluminum casts using plaster, about the same mass as this part. The first cast problem could very well be some excess wax the other commenters mention, I don't know. But you can see in his first pour that the aluminum is bubbling? There is gas trying to escape...boiling wax? excess moisture in the plaster? Don't know. But he heats the mold for the second pour. This should eliminate the excess moisture. But there's another thing I notice: after heating, the mold is cracking. What I noticed in my own pours is that with pure plaster I got those rounded aluminum type-results and bubbling while pouring BUT if I mixed in sand, maybe 50%, the results were much better. I suspect the sand gives micro pathways for gas from any source (wax, water or even perhaps hydrogen Theen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_gas_porosity) to escape and helps prevent the rounding and bubbling. The cracking of his mold might have also provided some micro routes for gas to escape.

    Looks like tons of fun, but every time I ever tried an approach like that, the coefficient of thermal expansion killed it because by the time my part cooled, it was about 4% to 7% undersize.

      Try coating the original part in many layers of paint before you make the mold, and make sure you have a big riser to suck metal from as it cools

    When I was second year student, we did some kind of aluminium part in soil, soil-method(idk how is it called in english). It seemed to be weird but the process was cool. The funny part was that our lecturers were students obtaining their master's degree so firstly they hadn't heat aluminium to proper temperature so we've got it on second try.
    Nice job, keep up the good work! Now about lubrication - as I see it's blue, what lubricant do you use?

      SAF-NSK In US probably is called Sand casting. Very common process. I think Aluminum is mostly done with Lost Wax process. We also used to have Stainless castings made with Lost Wax. At B/E Aerospace.

    Very cool, and what a project. Imagine the steps you could save by scanning the part or drawing it in a solid modeling program, and 3D printing one. I'm in such a college class this semester. There are some pretty durable materials that could be used, especially with one of our resin printers. Our college also just received a 3D metal printer that is the cat's meow. Guess who's going make some stainless steel tools for a diving kit.
