The problem most make is that it should be done in a vacuum and they cool it too fast. It should have conformed induction heaters next to conformed cooling lines in mold, to get optimal results.

Great video! Making part and tool design fun isn't easy. What tips would you say change when using magnesium instead of aluminum?
