I love watching this man, he always looks genuinely happy on his lil projects
-
Can't tell you how much I LOVE this little robot. So cute!!
-
ohhhhhhhhhh heck yes! Did you make this for me? I feel like this was made for me... I will pretend this was made for me. Always looking forward to your videos!
-
Awesome! Glad to see you are working with the 3D printer. I’ve been thinking about printing a mold and this will prove very helpful. And I’m working on my own 3D robot as well. Love your PullBot design. Hope all is well with you. See you next Friday!

We've recently started using a fleixble 3d printable rubber at work and have had success using it to cast silicone parts for product design students - I'll be messing with it over the next few weeks to see how else we can use it in teaching sculpture, and resin moulding for fine parts if on my list
-
Amazing work Robert, I started modeling and figuring this all out a couple years ago. Awesome to see you evolve your processes using a 3d printer and sharing your experiences !
-
I like the way these molds are made. Thanks for you input and showing us.
-
never thought about printing molds, gotta try that out soon. Love to see the passion in the craft.
-
What you could do is print up a version of your mould with the positive of your object, and make a silicone mold from it. And cast that.
-
Very nice! Blender is amazing - it's hard to believe it's completely free and open source.
-
I’m going try this! I’ve been 3D printing the part and making a rubber cut mold from it. Which I learned from watching your amazing videos.
-
When a friend's making resin moulds, he prints the positive on a resin printer, then casts a silicon mould around it. It's soft enough to make part extraction a lot easier, but stiff enough to keep its shape.
-
0.025 or 0.05mm tolerance works like a charm with mold locking spheres. Great video as always 😃
-
Wonderful! You just keep cranking out relevant videos relevant for my prototyping.
-
Great experiments, Robert!
-
Great teaching! I don’t think I’ll ever forget what PULL means in this context.
-
Really cool project. Enjoyed your video. Looking forward to watching more of your content.
-
Rob! Love your videos! You tell it like it is in this casting world! Like you say it's to make you happy!
-
My friend was talking about your video yesterday, and I didn’t believe him. This is awesome, I’m going to try this too.
-
This used to only be possible in an industiral setting and now we are doing it at home. Pretty cool!
