Fabrication (3d print, laser cut)¶
I started preparing the moldings, laser cut and 3d printing. First i stared with available designs
Molding & Casting with silicon robber¶
First, tried with silicon robber
Tried with these two moldings
Had some problem with silicone, it was probably outdated
Failed
I had a problem with silicone rubber(Ecoflex), i think it was outdated, but still tried and the result was expected, i will try with biosilicone
Molding & Casting with biosilicone¶
prep ingredients
Cooking
Cast
Glue the casted parts again
Vinyl Cut¶
Vinyl prep
Making using the irong to heat the vinly and seal it
result
Another try
