#moldmaking #reusablemold#moldbox - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Thanks for sharing the CAD files! I mean, I know it's just a box, but it's the spirit of sharing that counts. Cheatle's _art_ is really something, too. Wow.
Where are the cad files?
@@lostartifaxmaker I was being sarcastic. He hasn't shared the files.
Wow, so first off thanks very much for the shout out Eric. What you've made there is pretty slick and it looks great. I approached this problem from a slightly different starting point in that I didn't have a) 3d printer b) Money (artist) 3) Patience. So I used MDF for the walls and adhesive magnetic tape (22mm wide) for the bottom of the walls and the wall edges. The walls were L' shaped when seen from above so they could be used in a modular fashion and the length and width of the boxes could be adjusted. I stuck a large adhesive magnetic sheet (steel impregnated) to a flat melamine board and the walls stick to that and are adjusted accordingly. I post this in case there's anyone watching who's fed up with hot glue etc and is looking for a cheap as chips option.
Cheers again Eric. Jim
Thanks for sharing, I am happy to promote you and your site since you shared your knowledge freely. I am happy how it turned out. Thanks again. Cheers!
I'm quite impressed by how sturdy the magnetic connections seem, it looks like it would work quite well!
Yes, possibly it will
Worthless until we see if it does work
Oh no! There goes my patent! 😄 Seriously, I've been thinking about a magnetic mold system for about a year now. But clearly, I wasn't even half as far as you are. Well done!
Genius! Using ball magnets is such a cool idea. Nice build video. Can't wait to see it in use. Mahalo for sharing! : )
this is freaking awesome...genius....getting more and more into making and prototyping...loooove your channel...have learned a ton...
the magnetic box is very cool. looking forward to seeing how well it holds up to the pressure of the casting
Awesome pro product design as always, congrats! I like to use lego blocks to make each mold box custom to the part so I use the minimum amount of silicone. Blocks make the walls around the part, then get set aside while I stick the part to a metal plate with clay or beeswax. Clay worm goes all around the base of the lego wall then it gets stuck to the plate where it surrounds the part. Spray release or paint on your mix, and pour the mold. Legos snap apart and can be re-assembled into the exact shape and size again due to the standard size of blocks. Not as fast to use as yours, but legos let you make non-rectangular shapes which can save on silicone. They lock together tight enough that silicone doesn't leak between blocks.
That's why you can use big blocks like Lego! Works well! :) and no need to build anything
Fantastic channel, and job. Your advice is very helpful!
What a cool idea! Thanks
Hi!! This looks amazing but would probably need some sticky wax or hot glue in the seams? How did it perform?
I did some magnetic designs as well and one technique I use is actually embedding the magnets mid-print.
I use the „pause at layer“ command in CURA to pause the print when the compartment for the Magnet is just about to be closed. Put in the magnets and continue print.
Beware of magnetic parts at the print head, I changed one magnetic screw of mine to a non-magnetic steel one.
Interesting, pretty hard core, I like it
I tried something similar. Embedding magnets in strips of molding silicone. The idea was to build walls on a sheet of iron which was also covered by silicone. It worked 'sort of'. But it was hard to put the walls straight. And the magnet poles of adjecent walls would only allow for certain discrete positions. It defeated my initial goal to make a mold of arbitrary dimensions.
Amazing !! Thanks for sharing
Sehr gute Idee, prima!
Awesome, I'm surely doing some!
How fluid tight are the joins? That’s what I would be interested in. It’s a simple but effective solution. Design 101 - keep it simple. Great job!
I hope silicone tight
@@EricStrebel If any issues, then a softer durometer filament like TPU could be tried, at least for the interfaces. You could pause and swap filament at whatever layer height and have a hybrid TPU PLA part... or if you have a dual extruder printer, that would be even better since not all of your interfaces are aligned on the Z plane.
@@ollieanthem9213 good idea...so like a gasket?
Cool. Rey cool.
*Really. I mean it’s annoying when autocorrect wants suggest corrections, but it’s “annoyinger” when they don’t (see what I did there? Annoyinger and they don’t erase nor suggest a correction they red underline it. Arrrrr🤬
No worries, all good. I must say I find that annoying as well
I really like your videos, thanks for sharing. BTW are you swiss by any chance?
Yes
Eric, any results so far? I wonder if you have tested the magnetic molds? I was hoping you will have an update since I saw the video
What material do you use for the mold box?
Love the videos although is your thumb ok? It looks like it bent back pretty far like it was gonna snap 😅
I love that. I’m working on a tool-free mold for epoxy resin. How would you go about lining the inside with silicone so that it could be watertight?
This should easily hold silicone and not leak
@@EricStrebel Sorry, I meant how would you go about making sure you could fill with epoxy resin without it either leaking or becoming one with the mold?
Well, You would need to apply a release agent to the walls and the floor such as wax or a spray release, I think you could use wax in the corners as well to keep the resin from flowing out if needed.
Good product 👍👍👍
Can i buy stl files Please
Yes I definitely need the files to print this too, of course would pay
Same! Awesome video. Hoping for an opportunity to purchase. Thank you
I'm also in line for STL 😉
Can I buy the design files?
Where did you find the ball style magnets?
eBay, they don't seem to sell them on Amazon, I think because they are choking hazard, or just a plane death trap if you were to swallow them.
I would love to buy the Magnetic Mold Box System for Silicone molds.. is that possible?
Now, did you make a mold of the mold box so that you can cast more mold boxes?
No
Did you test it already?
Nope, hopefully soon on an upcoming project
afternoon do you sell these mold boxes
No, not currently
Do you sell these magnet mold box?
Not at this time, perhaps in the future
Are you planning to sell them?
Don't know, I have not decided yet. We'll have to see. I think there would have to be a manufacturer involved or some sort of a sponsor to back the project potentially. Or license the deal to somebody.
