WOW. You just opened up an entirely new world to me. I've done some lost wax in the past and knew I could cast wax into a mold made on my 3d printer but I didn't know there was a "wax like" resin I could use to skip that huge step. This will bring me to an entirely new branch in my business. Thank you!
I've really been wanting to get on to this, as in my field, blacksmithing, these 3d printers that can do casting waxes are becoming very popular for creating the pommels, guards, etc...
I printed just fine with no customizer. idk if i got lucky or what but i had almost no problems getting it to stick to the plate and print well. thanks for the video.
Hey! There is an easier way to attach the spruce to the model and its way more precise too! I suggest purchasing a electric wax spatula heater with a pen. They can be pricy but if you mainly need it to stick spruces to the wax then their is a decent one on amazon for like 50 bucks.
@@GomeowCreations I wonder if it wouldn't save much time by just printing the whole wax tree completly. Perhaps in Chitubox as kind of support. Just an idea. I've neither done 3d printing yet nor casting, but as I'm looking for a new hobby next year I think this is really interesting. Greetings from Bavaria, keep up your great work.👍
Idk yet to be honest. I have just been sealing it up and reusing it when I do castings. I will look into that though seeing that some day I'm going to have to get rid of the plaster in it.😅👍
The plaster just settles to the bottom over time. Idk about any environmental concerns but I always just dumped it into the wash basin in my garage lol.
Hello, thank you for the explanatory video. I am a beginner, and I poured silver, but the result has a lot of pits and irregularities, and I don't know why. Can I please have the combustion program cycle in the furnace
Hi @GomeowCreations. Awesome content. Have learned a lot. After watching this video I've finally had my first successful print with this resin. I used the same print settings you did in this video but the print came out a lot less detailed than when I used the Standard Elegoo Photopolymer resin. Any tips on how I could achieve the same level of fine detail with BlueCast x 10 + sharpenizer as when I use the standard resin and default Elegoo Mars 2 pro settings? Much appreciated and keep producing great content 👍
Why do you pry off the stubs from the support beams and fill the holes with wax and a hot knife? Wouldn't it be easier to remove the stubs with a hot knife in the first place? Or would that not work for any reasons?
Thanks for taking some of the mystery out of this type of casting. Question, you mentioned below about multiple copies of one design, and maybe having a mold made and using the wax injection system. So that injector makes sure that the wax is complete inside the mold? then what? the next step to cast the wax design. Just trying to wrap my head around this
Yes so if you make a master mold you can inject hot wax into it and it will make a perfect copy in minutes. Once you have these wax parts you can clean them up if needed and then attach to the sprue tree like I did with the printed parts. After that you can basically do everything I did in the video and cast them. 😁
I noticed in your previous video with the mandalorian ring you left the flask in the vacuum chamber for 2 hours? Where is this video I think you said you left it in for a minute and took it out and let it dry outside the vacuum. Did you find this worked better? Also why was the previous ring black and these were more silver? Any ideas on how to not leave any soot marks?
I think you misunderstood or I misspoke in that older video. I didn't leave it in the vacuum for 2hours I left it on that vacuum table for 2 hours to cure and set up. I only had them in the vacuum chamber for 1min each. As for the burn out I used different temps and times so that is what it came out so much better.
For the items you were casting, you would be much happier with X-One. PlastiCast or Prestige Optima (my favorite). The stuff is truly amazing to print, prep and cast. But it is expensive.
I have just switched to optima. Any thing i need to watch out for. I did not get perfect results left flask fot 4hr before burnout. Did fast and slow ramps casting 14k.
First of all, thanks for sharing this content. I appreciate it so much :) ...I just have a question about the burn out process of the wax, whats the importance of the heat treatment? This can be done in less time?...Also I would like to ask what happened If we melt the silver with a torch? it affects their properties in comparison of using a melting furnace?....Greetings from Colombia :)
Hey great vid! thinking of starting my own casting gig this summer but I am really wondering something. Your burnout cycle is for 5 hours but lots of people claim that it should be 13 hours. I am so confused about when to use 5 hours burnout cycle and when to use 13 hours burnout cycle. Could you elloborate this issue on your next vid or it would be great if you can direct me to a source I can learn about burnout cycles. Also can I learn the size of your flask?
I'm just getting started with casting, haven't even looked into 3-d printing (in earnest anyways) I use wax exclusively at the moment. but it seems like it's more hassle to use this particular brand than some others I've seen used at my local makerspace. I'm in no way an expert, it just seems much more fickle than others.
It printed the base and some supports but the supports didn't hold the ring so it broke off mid print. Used the Mars v1 setting and it will print with no problems.
Love your video.. as always! I haven't yet done lost wax, but I'm currently taking a lost wax sculpting & casting workshop ( I'll never own a 3D printer 😒). Questions today pertains to the Tabletop Furnace. I have the exact one, for 3ys. I love the size and Now and I'm wondering do you have issues with varying degree readings from programmed to ambient readings?? Im now averaging 20 degrees difference. Not sure if controller needs replacing or just adjusting for difference is adequate.
Great video! Thank you for sharing. Just wondering what the polishing process was? It went from raw cast to polished with no info. Just wondering what tools? Also what chemical did you use to pickle in the ultra sonic? Thank you 🙏
I polished them up using this czcams.com/video/zS3-3pBb0rU/video.html I did clean them up using some files and rubber polishing bits before taking them to the polishing machine. I didn't pickle them in the ultrasound, it has a clean in it though. I should have a link to it the description.
No, farmcraft101 (another 3d print/caster/metalworker ytuber) doesn't, you just end up with potential bubbles on the piece and possible cracking of the mold, but there are ways besides a vacuum chamber to mitigate this like pouring the mold from up high (reduces bubbles). He doesn't even use resin, he just uses normal fdm printer. Depends on what you're doing this for. If your goal is to make super perfect jewelry, being super anal over every detail, that might not be acceptable, but if you just want to make cool things, or parts for contraptions/gadgets/general diying then it really shouldn't matter. And really most imperfections in the actual casted piece can be filed down/polished anyway. Depends on how much you care. If you wanted to get into this, I would get everything BUT the vacuum chamber and see how it does for your personal taste, then upgrade to the vacuum chamber if you're dissatisfied. That's with a lot of this maker/diyer stuff, most people can't afford all this crap at once, you've gotta piecemeal it. You can even make your own furnace for the metal as a diy project (probably potentially even way larger) just with less granular control. Many possibilities.
If you are only going to make 20 one time then yes this would work fine but if you plan on making more in the future I would make a mold and use a wax infection system. You can make a lot of wax parts like this really fast.
@@GomeowCreations gotcha I've heard great stuff about the x10 but I use the solus pro and solus wax and have had great results so never felt the need to switch but good luck!
Yeah, I think I said in the video that I couldn't get the prints to work right unless I printed them at the standard Mars settings. I think this might be due to me living in a colder area so in my work area it's like 60-65f at any give time right now. I will have to check on the more in the summer.
I didn't watch the video till the end. In case you didn't preheat your resin, put your X10 bottle in a hot water (40° Celsius) bucket before pouring the resin in your tank.
I use vinyl gloves not latex so they should be fine but thank you for your concern. Nitrile would be better seeing that the vinyl ones are kind of thin and can rip over time.
@@GomeowCreations Ah phew, with them been white, I'd assumed they were the latex variety, I've not seen white/transparent nitrile in use before lol Good to know you've got that covered :)
@@GomeowCreations maybe I need to double check the cost of investment material..... it has always stopped me from trying it(I've always played with sand casting)
i am sorry but all this casting stuff printing lark carry on its twice the work just make the ring draw it on a piece of paper its worked for centuries, a load of very expensive gear instead of a two pence piece of paper stupid.
But then how do you than take that drawing on paper and turn it into a piece of metal jewelry? What you're comparing aren't the same at all. If you would have compared it to wax carving that has been used for centuries, than you would have a much better point. Wax caving is still used today by a lot of people and takes a lot of time to learn and master. 3D design is very similar and takes a lot of time to master. Both can make awesome castings but 3D print allows you to make the same thing over an over in small batches. You can also scale your work in seconds or have files made for you anywhere in the world and send to you to make real. Both 3D prints and wax carvings can be made into molds so if you need the same thing over and over you can make them in bulk. Please if you disagree let me know. 😁👍
@@GomeowCreations i do strongly disagree, if you are making an exclusive piece of jewellery for a client and make a mould of it or do it in three d that means anyone in the world can get your pattern, on paper tear the pattern up that s one exclusive piece of jewellery one happy client
I think you are still miss understanding how this all works. I can make a 3D file and it will only be on my computer. No one will have access to it just like if it was a drawing. Also I'm still wanting to know how a drawing could be made into metal? Do you mean you design it on paper and then what, transfer it into flat metals fabricate it and solder it together? Yeah this can be done and still is done. Let's go with your one off thing for a client, this can be done in 3D, wax or fabrication work. Yes you can draw it out and show the client and see what they think of it. You can also show them the wax model and make changes as needed or you can make a 3D model show it on a pc and print it out for them to hold and see if they like it. Just because something is new doesn't me the old thing is better and not all new ways are better. This is about options. I'm happy that there are more than one way to make things.
@@GomeowCreations ok you make a wax model client comes along huh dont like that you make another one this could go on for weeks or until you shoot the client, same with the three d model and from what you have told that stuff aint cheap and it takes quite a while for it to cure, ok modern tech all well and good costs a fortune for the programs if you want the top drawer ones my be even a new computer to handle all the modern tech piece of paper 2 pence, if you enjoy making jewellery either for a client or for your self in the end it dont matter a fig how you do it, i like hands on sawing cutting soldering al that really enjoy it and if you enjoy sitting at a computer pushing buttons fair enough to each there own, you my friend take care keep well keep safe.

And really most imperfections in the actual casted piece can be filed down/polished anyway. Depends on how much you care. If you wanted to get into this, I would get everything BUT the vacuum chamber and see how it does for your personal taste, then upgrade to the vacuum chamber if you're dissatisfied. That's with a lot of this maker/diyer stuff, most people can't afford all this crap at once, you've gotta piecemeal it. You can even make your own furnace for the metal as a diy project (probably potentially even way larger) just with less granular control. Many possibilities.
Hello ! Did the prints shrink with x10 and elegoo mars 2p ?
how long for the burnout ?
Sir reply please what's is this reflectorial meterial 18:42
Can anyone with the same set up help with getting the correct printer settings for this?
What is this white liquid 18:42
What if u need to make like 20 of the same thing would u recommend something else vs having this melt away casting?
If you are only going to make 20 one time then yes this would work fine but if you plan on making more in the future I would make a mold and use a wax infection system. You can make a lot of wax parts like this really fast.

Very nice, is that a dentist work station you are using?
Thanks and what do you mean by "dentist work station"?
@@GomeowCreations thought it looked like the desk area used in a dentist office, no offence if I was wrong.
Lol no offense taken but no. This is just my work jewelry work area 😁
@@GomeowCreations Ok, my mistake!
Let your investment set up longer, I let mine set up for a minimum of 6 hours, It will help with the minor surface issues.
Thanks for the suggestion but the one that I used in this video sat around for about 10-14 hours before I was able to start the burnout 😅
@@GomeowCreations gotcha I've heard great stuff about the x10 but I use the solus pro and solus wax and have had great results so never felt the need to switch but good luck!
I have some other resin that I will be trying out soon so we will see how that turns out 😁
12 sec exposure is almost 4 times the recommended exposure
Yeah, I think I said in the video that I couldn't get the prints to work right unless I printed them at the standard Mars settings. I think this might be due to me living in a colder area so in my work area it's like 60-65f at any give time right now. I will have to check on the more in the summer.
I didn't watch the video till the end. In case you didn't preheat your resin, put your X10 bottle in a hot water (40° Celsius) bucket before pouring the resin in your tank.
Currently using Novafab’s Power Resin Dark, if you’ve had any experience with it how does it compare?
I have some along with some Burn and I will be testing it out in the next week
@@GomeowCreations Thanks, I’ll be tuned in
Hello yes a quick question how long you live it in the kiln thank you
It was in there for a little over 5 hours
@@GomeowCreations thank you
where did you get your primer file? I have been looking for one to see if it would help.
I just made it in Fusion 360 and scaled it in my slicer to fit whatever printer I need it to. 😁👍
Can you please help
The latex gloves you are using are ineffective protection against both the IPA and the resins. Please switch to nitrile :)
I use vinyl gloves not latex so they should be fine but thank you for your concern. Nitrile would be better seeing that the vinyl ones are kind of thin and can rip over time.
@@GomeowCreations Ah phew, with them been white, I'd assumed they were the latex variety, I've not seen white/transparent nitrile in use before lol Good to know you've got that covered :)
If only it was cheaper to use.
I think it was like $2 or $3 in materials to print all the rings in this video 😅
@@GomeowCreations including silver?! Now you're just being greedy! Lol
Oh of course not. Just the large skull ring on it's own is $40+ in just scrap silver value. I thought you were just talking about the resin. 😅
@@GomeowCreations maybe I need to double check the cost of investment material..... it has always stopped me from trying it(I've always played with sand casting)
It's a bad resin.. My experience
And what was you experience with it? What problems did you have?
20 mins wasted
K
Why aren’t u married
😅
i am sorry but all this casting stuff printing lark carry on its twice the work just make the ring draw it on a piece of paper its worked for centuries, a load of very expensive gear instead of a two pence piece of paper stupid.
But then how do you than take that drawing on paper and turn it into a piece of metal jewelry? What you're comparing aren't the same at all.
If you would have compared it to wax carving that has been used for centuries, than you would have a much better point.
Wax caving is still used today by a lot of people and takes a lot of time to learn and master. 3D design is very similar and takes a lot of time to master. Both can make awesome castings but 3D print allows you to make the same thing over an over in small batches. You can also scale your work in seconds or have files made for you anywhere in the world and send to you to make real.
Both 3D prints and wax carvings can be made into molds so if you need the same thing over and over you can make them in bulk.
Please if you disagree let me know. 😁👍
@@GomeowCreations i do strongly disagree, if you are making an exclusive piece of jewellery for a client and make a mould of it or do it in three d that means anyone in the world can get your pattern, on paper tear the pattern up that s one exclusive piece of jewellery one happy client
I think you are still miss understanding how this all works. I can make a 3D file and it will only be on my computer. No one will have access to it just like if it was a drawing.
Also I'm still wanting to know how a drawing could be made into metal? Do you mean you design it on paper and then what, transfer it into flat metals fabricate it and solder it together? Yeah this can be done and still is done.
Let's go with your one off thing for a client, this can be done in 3D, wax or fabrication work. Yes you can draw it out and show the client and see what they think of it. You can also show them the wax model and make changes as needed or you can make a 3D model show it on a pc and print it out for them to hold and see if they like it.
Just because something is new doesn't me the old thing is better and not all new ways are better. This is about options. I'm happy that there are more than one way to make things.
@@GomeowCreations ok you make a wax model client comes along huh dont like that you make another one this could go on for weeks or until you shoot the client, same with the three d model and from what you have told that stuff aint cheap and it takes quite a while for it to cure, ok modern tech all well and good costs a fortune for the programs if you want the top drawer ones my be even a new computer to handle all the modern tech piece of paper 2 pence, if you enjoy making jewellery either for a client or for your self in the end it dont matter a fig how you do it, i like hands on sawing cutting soldering al that really enjoy it and if you enjoy sitting at a computer pushing buttons fair enough to each there own, you my friend take care keep well keep safe.
@@albertpartridge6716 what the heck are going yo. I'm trying so hard to wrap my head on what your point is
I was waiting the polishing process, I hope you can share how you polish post cast pieces, Thanks.
