Rotating casting machine

(1/2) > >>

Geboom:
[font=\'Times New Roman]Since I have this whole week off I finally started to make my Rotating Casting Machine for larger resin objects.[/font]
[font=\'Times New Roman]I designed the machine last Sunday and started working on it this Monday and Tuesday.[/font]
[font=\'Times New Roman]The whole idea is to make larger 1 piece resin casts in one go.[/font]
[font=\'Times New Roman]Making this machine was already a lot of fun. Now the big question is: [/font]

[font=\'Times New Roman]Will it Work?[/font]

[font=\'Times New Roman]I am afraid I can\'t give you the answer yet. I am currently making the form of the Gatehouse.[/font]
[font=\'Times New Roman]A project that, without the casting machine, is cast in 5 pieces.[/font]
[font=\'Times New Roman]If this setup works I can make it in one session and will save on resin as well so fingers crossed.[/font]

Down side as I can see now is the fact that I have to rotate the machine during the potlife time of
10 minutes or so. But if it works then the next step is adding a little motor to it.

[font=\'Times New Roman]I [/font][font=\'Times New Roman]will write an article on the machine and the casting process on my website later, if the machine works that is.[/font]
[font=\'Times New Roman]Hopefully I can make my first rotating cast this weekend so I will let you know how it went.[/font]

P.S. comments, suggestions, ideas are most welcome

The machine can be setup sideways at an angle of 45 degrees left and right.
This in order to get liquid resin in all the right places.

Flipping the machine over from one side to another also means I have to flip over the handlebar.
Just a fun detail as is the fact that the handlebar is made out of a paintroller.
All part of the creative process I guess.

Tankred:
That is very interesting and I wonder if this will work. Please share your efforts!

NetTerrain:
we want a video documentation, Geboom :)

Poliorketes:
I guess with only a little reworking you can use it as a gatling gun :D
No pun intended, I think it\'s a great idea and I hope it\'ll work.

WCT:
clever idea want to see it in action !!
