Part 2: • How I Make My Molds-Pa...
Part 1 of 2 were I show you how I make my molds!
A lot of mold makers don't like to share their secrets, but im not afraid! lol
My uniqueness comes from my designs not the silicone I use.
So imma gonna show you all the secrets so you can make all the things!!!
These videos are meant to be informative so there is a lot of text. I thought it best to split them in 2.
Part 2 will be out soon!
Any question feel free to ask!

☽FAQ☾
★What 3d Printer do you have?
I have a JGAurora A5 (they have since rebranded to JGMaker)
★Were do you get your designs for your blanks?
I make them! I use Paint Tool SAI to draw with my Wacom tablet.
I then send my designs off to get cut out of acrylic with a laser cutter.
( I plan on making a video on this at some point)
✦Terminology✦
"Blank"- What ever you are molding, whether it be made of acrylic or 3d printed its called a blank.
"Housing"- What ever you are placing your blank into to keep the silicone around it
"IPA"- Isopropyl alcohol
Resin is not a craft intended for children. Please protect yourself and wear proper PPE while using resin. Your safety is important to me!

How do you make your blanks?
What program do you use to make the design
I usually draw in paint tool SAI and convert the images to SVGs in Inkscape. I also use clipstudio to add a border around the images and also to make the housing shapes.
Enjoyed the video. The white lettering was a struggle for me . Still great content!
Just watched this video because I am trying to decide about molds for what I want to make. The 3D printing and plexiglass (?) design are very interesting. I can't see how the detail shows up in the mold. No link to part 2 here. I am wondering if the designs are copyrighted material... or if you create them.
All the designs in my video (with the exception of the sophie and toffee review) are all my designs. I draw then myself and get them cut out on acrylic
HI, i have a little question
Why acrylic? 3D impressions does'nt work?
I don't always use acrylic. I have both a resin printer and FDM printer and use them both from time to time. Acrylic is really nice for pieces with small find details that might get loss on a FDM printer and doesn't require any kind of prep for molding like a FDM or resin printer need.
What vacuum chamber would you recommend
It doesn't really matter. I've had a cheap 1.5 gallon one and I'm currently using a 5 gallon one with the same compressor that was for my 1.5 gallon one. They pretty much all work the same.
Awesome information. So you have a 3D printer and a lazer printer?
Just a 3d printer. I send designs off to get cut by someone else. Working on getting my own laser cutter tho. They are just to dang expensive lol
@@seyfertdoe where do you get cut ?
@@seyfertdoe and you should sell you mold housings you would make a killing
@@Brandistill I get my blanks cut from goodeystudio.
Also my 3d printer isn't the best so my housings really aren't up to the standard that I would want to sell them.
Can I ask, what is the brand of vacuum chamber that you’re using?
it is a Lab1st pot, the pump is from another vacuum chamber that i have (just a cheep one) i got it from amazon
Thank you 😊
Does the person you use to Lazer cut your mold design have an online business website I could check out?
Yes they do! The also sell molds as well
goodeystudio.com/
@@seyfertdoe thank you!
Hello. I need your help. Can we maybe chat directly somewhere. I just got a 3D printer and would love to make my mold casings like you are but have no clue how to design it. Would you be open to helping me. Please.
You can message me on Instagram I'm much faster at responding over there @GalaxyDoeDesigns
I'm no expert but I can do my best to help you lol
If your using a resin printer printer ensure you completely seal your mold housing using "XTC Seal Coating or Inhibit X Seal Coating". The reason why is because UV Resin Inhibits silicone curing. This is extremely important, when I first started I had no idea and wasted so much time and money. But I wish you the best of luck and happy crafting. 😊
