I am learning … In order to cast the right way I need to build a casting tree. The pieces to be cast will be attached a kind of wax “stem” that acts as a channel for the liquid metal during the casting process. I couldn’t find a ready made wax stem to order. Only molds for the wax the create them myself. But they were around $100 which I find very expensive for the purpose. So I decided to design and print my own. Here is a picture of one side of the mold. If it works out I will be able to create lots of “stems” (sprues) and also use them for jewelry making. I will print it today and see if it works … Printing time will be around 10 hours for the top and bottom!!!! Luckily I can use it for a long time … Here is the Fusion 360 model in case you want to print it yourself: click here
