I picked up some bulk Composimold on Amazon the other day. So far, seem impressive. As much as I like silicone for molding parts, it’s expensive. Composimold is about the same price but is re-usable. You toss it in a microwave safe bowl, nuke it, and pour it. Then you clean it up, nuke it, and re-used it. Pretty sweet!

I also got to test out my Lego box. Seems to work great. I tossed some plastilina on the bottom to hold it to my glass plate. I used the glass out of an old picture frame as my work area.

First test is a click-on roll bar clamp.

What’s the plan for removing the positive from the mold? Are you planning to just cut it out?

The mold is flexible. It just popped out. The clay isn’t hard anyways so it was super easy.

The resin has been poured. It's a slow resin so it will be tomorrow before I can pop the part out.
