You'll learn, you'll laugh, you'll want to know more :)

We’re always trying to find ways to create teaching tools using our printers to show our material processes. So last week we made a quick illustrative video using a F2 printed Batman Bust from Thingiverse. First we made a quick silicone mold and then cast some clear polyurethane in to show how to deal with trapped air bubbles. You might notice a cameo of another releated item made with our materials that likes to pop up from time-to-time. Anyway, enjoy and let me know if you have any questions on the topic. https://bjbenterprises.com/index.php/wc-786-a-b/

Oh, and if you’re wondering why the frosted appearance vs a shiny clear… this is entirely dependent on the finish of the piece you molded off of. If we were to have painted a glossy clear coat over the model, the part would look more like a glass or ice sculpture. Having said that, a frosted finish reflects light much better and works good for this purpose.

Now can you name which Batman movie that cowl is from? The mold was taken from the original so no artistic influences added.
