Hey guys. I'm new to this world and was looking for some advice. I just go myself a 3d printer for some projects I've been wanting to do for a while. I think they will also lend themselves to casting. Basically I want to print one part and then cast the same part over and over.
Check out this project (not mine but i'm going to do it).
My question is some of these parts look like the might have some edges that will be tough to get them out of the mold, but I don't know for sure. Each tile is pretty small so the overhanges/edges aren't huge but relative to the size of the model they are kind of big. I will have to make some changes as there are parts that the liquid mold will flow through and I won't be able to get it out. Mostly the trees. But how about some of the others?
How much of an overhang is ok before I can't demold this. Any other thoughts you guys have?
