Awesome. Couple of tips for you with resin casting. First when pouring pour from a higher elevation, a long thin stream going down bursts any bubbles that may be in the mix before it reaches your mould. Similarly de-gas your mixed resin in a vacuum chamber, you can get them pretty cheap on ebay and it makes a world of difference. You can also get a better surface finish on stuff like you did by 'painting' the silicone onto the part and letting it partially set first, then pour the rest of your silicone into the mould. This means you get a really good surface coverage on the printed part which means better surface detail in the mould which means a better surface on your resin casts.

Thanks for the pointers, this was my first attempt so I was kinda winging it, haha
No worries, I learnt it all recently my self through a combination of research and loads of trial and error.
Really cool.
Awsome

What material you used as a "clay"? Because of what it glows in the dark?
If you paint on it does it glow ?
