How to turn a 3D PRINT into BRONZE │ Lost PLA Metal Casting │ ASMR

Welcome to Robinson Foundry. In this video I will be using the lost PLA method to turn a 3d print into an awesome and colorful bronze casting. I started by printing the model on my 3d printer and then coated it with a ceramic material. I then fired the shell in my kiln and then poured brass into the shell. This is similar to the lost wax casting process.

this turned out amazing!! Zane is a really fantastic artist and to see his model transform into your metal casting was out of this world. every time i look at this metal sculpture and the previous ones, i wonder if people years from now finding and studying it like those sci-fi movies haha.

The end result is breathtaking... I've been 3d-printing for 3 years now, and I can only hope to have the possibility to do this soon.

Every new design and mold created is more captivating than the last. I'm so glad I subscribed early when I did, this gives me hope for getting back into smelting again. Much love from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

Great work! Usually fine sand is used for a first layer and coarser sand for the rest. You may also consider building a "sand boiling bath" for even coating. This is what used in industry.

The patina really turned out great! Awesome job! I am really hoping to see more of your projects and I am hoping you'd make a championship belt plate, more specifically the "Big Gold" world heavyweight championship 'coz I've always wondered how belt makers cast bronze or brass in such a huge size. Hope you'll notice 😁

Amazing work! Have you considered trying to print an internal shell that is filled with casting sand and plaster to achieve a thin wall of bronze. Similar to lost wax casting of sculptures. This would use much less bronze.

A simple way to tell how much metal you need is probably filling the cast up with water weighing said water and converting the weight / density into whatever metal your using

Seems like when you coat the print with wax it doesn't crack during burn out. It might be the wax melting first and giving the PLA some space to expand and cot crack the coating.

@Felix111ize Жыл бұрын

Awesome work as usual. I use plaster instead of ceramic for the mold and it works for me. Would you recommend plaster if artists can't get access to the ceramic?

@Ronayne015 2 жыл бұрын

Maybe you could use ABS filament, lightly spray with acetone to smooth the print lines, cast the mold, then use more acetone to dissolve the filament completely.

I was always curious... how do you clean the crucible to make sure there is no metal left in it that would mess up the composition of the metal you want to melt next?

@mattcoates8648 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for these awesome videos! These are always really great to watch. Could I ask you, is there a limit to how thick you can cast something? I am really impressed that you were able to pull this one off without getting any shrinkage or pitting. I did not know this was possible at that size. Do you have some method for this other than adding a really big sprue? Do you cast the metal at a lower temperature or something?

@Imhotep397 3 жыл бұрын

Definitely A+, although I wish you’d left it shiny. I am wondering whether quenching a bit after the pour would help with cleanup by cracking up the coating would work with this or whether it would warp some things?

Use fiberglass cloth between the ceramic shell layers, it wont crack anymore

Did you not use vents for air to escape because the entry hole was so big it could just swap places with the molten metal ?

Might be a stupid question but why didn't you add vents? I thought they were an absolute must to ensure complete filling of the mold and avoiding bubbles

@JaggiSpaceProgram 3 жыл бұрын

I think it may be a good idea to get a threaded rod (printed, wood, metal, doesn't matter) that threads into the sprue (print threads into the sprue hole). Then you can have an easily removed handle for dipping while avoiding having to burn out the wooden handle each time.

I think that is a good idea. I may do that. Thanks!

Your casts look amazing, one small problem that ive noticed is that you can see the layers from the print. Maybe with a DLP printer you could get even better results?

There are print settings on ordinary 3d printers that can get the quality to be quite fine, but I guess 13 hours was a lot already.
