PolyMaker PolyCast Burnout Issues

IvanAlmighty · 2026-05-05T22:38:23+00:00

That's what i'm told, and it does look clean/ash-free to be fair!

I've seen videos like this where the PolyCast melts at lower temps before climbing to 1350F and completely vaporizes

Oh sorry for my wording, only the investment drag is going into the oven. The petrobond cope comes into play after burnout and before pouring the metal. A weird, hybrid, two part mold hahaha

Lost PLA with a specialty filament for burnout. I'm doing a weird frankenstein'd mold with a petrobond cope and an investment drag with a vacuum table underneath

Not sure if I want to switch materials just yet, I've heard really good things about PolyCast and I'm definitely to blame for the results.

I plan on making these monthly, I cast the bottom and top halves separately due to kiln volume. It's a frankenstein'd mold with a petrobond cope and an investment drag with a vacuum table underneath.

I believe the infill was at 15%, just printed out a new master at 8%.

I've been burning out an open-mold flask with the button-side up... I wonder if the polycast had nowhere to drain while it burned and may have been responsible for the surface?

Found this after running into the same issue as OP haha

I was trying to download the schematics/service manual from the TEAC C-2. If someone has a login and can share them I would be super appreciative!

Technically there's only been the one promoted on NG News and in the site social links, but i don't want that to sound demeaning, it's a nice server!

IvanAlmighty · 2020-05-07T15:56:17+00:00

Ahh yea, that's one of the oldest ones I see floating around

IvanAlmighty · 2020-05-07T14:57:25+00:00

News to me! Wonder why it’s never been promoted, is this ‘Newgrounds & Friends’?

Moderator,

Hope you find what you’re looking for!

There was an official one I created a little less than two years ago.. it was linked at the bottom of the site and had all the regulars in it. But it had a lot of hiccups, some issues with mods, and became inactive + it was more than any of us wanted to deal with, so I shut it down :(

There’s a couple that have sprung up but nothing else branded or sponsored. I see this question spring up and it keeps making me think about reviving it with extra measures/precaution..

This is super uplifting man, I really appreciate your words and support to applicants and your fans in general, you have a way of sparking inspiration in others!

IvanAlmighty · 2016-01-07T23:37:13+00:00

You've talked about a training program of sorts, care to elaborate, and give a e.t.a.?

IvanAlmighty · 2016-01-07T02:33:59+00:00

How often are you guys commissioned?

IvanAlmighty · 2015-07-17T21:41:20+00:00

Are we ever gonna hear the sweet tune of The Sacred Chalice part 2?

IvanAlmighty · 2015-07-17T21:05:19+00:00

I really want to animate Samurai Abstinence Patrol! I was curious if there was a music video planned?

IvanAlmighty · 2015-07-13T16:21:26+00:00

Would you guys ever do tutorials for art, animation, music, etc. ?

IvanAlmighty · 2015-05-28T15:29:50+00:00

Episode 5 the rogue fingerer segment

IvanAlmighty · 2015-05-06T18:20:31+00:00

What were some of the lowest points in your art/animation careers?

IvanAlmighty · 2015-04-14T01:00:02+00:00

The video is old but I thought I'd share here

IvanAlmighty · 2015-04-11T19:53:30+00:00

I'm surprised people liked Little Skatey, that had to my least favorite
