I demolded my papercrete Lack a bit early and lost most of it. I think it was likely more water on that side since it was from a new paper pulp bucket.

The Keywork actually came out okay, at least enough to try some concrete discs in.

Starting to get a rhythm with processing the stuff as well.

working on this raven skull cast with air dry clay, came out pretty nicely. Some of the more delicate areas broke a bit, but I am going to lean into that. I think the other half will be mostly resin, maybe some minerals or something.

It fell apart very quickly, no surprise there. So I glued together a little cardboard enclosure and a very sloppy foam padding around the cable to prevent it from getting moved a ton. Hopefully this holds up until I get the printer fixed

Reusing filament cardboard for mold making, worked pretty great minus my own mistakes (not following directions.)
Alumilite (?) had a video calling cardboard tubes essentially mold dispensers, and it reminded me I had a few empty wheels to recycle

I have some ideas for a little enclosure and mechanism. Once I fix my 3d printer maybe I’ll design something more clever and compact, but this was something I’ve been meaning to do for ages which didn’t take too long at all once I actually tried. Many such cases

I have a flimsy little USB foot pedal which I use for push to talk in Discord. I always end up kicking it somewhere I can’t reach, and it tends to move just with cable pulling. So I took it apart and stuck it on my Vox wah guitar pedal. Much heavier and more sturdy.

The cast turned out decent. The plaster is extremely crumbly and soft, I don’t know why I was expecting something tougher and heavier. So not really what I’m after, but a useful learning experience. Not sure what material would actually be best here.

Plaster poured, though I forgot to get footage

First mold complete! Time to figure out how to plaster. it’s getting so real.

You can’t make something this delicious looking and smelling and not let people eat it #silinot

One of my favorite prints so far, just decoratively. I, obviously, enjoy birds, I think this will be my next plasterizing project after the fossil. They'll make for great Halloween decorations!

I have a small scale I've printed out (~13x15cm), and plan to go through the process above with it, despite the obvious 3d printing issues here. Just to see what it's like.
