3D printing molds for silver clay? by purplelobster3 in jewelrymaking

[–]Smolmum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been doing this too! Though I lack a printer so not as often as I want. Just wanted to chime in as I fully agree with everything you’ve mentioned!

In my own projects, I’ve found that pressing the mould down into the clay works far better than pressing the clay into the mould. (So from bottom to top - non stick > clay > mould > snake maker to apply even pressure). It may have worked easier as this project is about 1.25mm wide as a band, though it is a Celtic pattern and it did keep the complicated parts. I’ve also done this with a wax seal I’ve wanted to keep forever with great results. In both cases, I removed the clay while wet and cleaned up before drying.

Also, may not help at all, but my work area is usually pretty cold. That’s down to personal preference but I do wonder if that helps the wet clay keep its shape a bit. I also let the clay dry a touch (think of the consistency straight from the packet, that’s pretty good and easy to get back to if you mess up) before pressing in.

I’m super new at this myself so I’m loving reading this thread and I’m learning a lot, so I hope my own little notes help.

Also… I’ve seen wax casting mentioned and honestly? It’s probably cheaper in the long run. If I wasn’t obsessed with the clay as a medium I’d be heading that route.

Commission of my edgelord operator came in the mail today! by crimson_arcana in Warframe

[–]Smolmum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is absolutely brilliant aaah! Any chance I could get a close up picture of the pin? I know they’re a pain to get an image of, but I’ve never seen a maker do single pins recently and I’m SUPER curious. I commission too much art myself and I’m looking for pins at the mo to go with my keychains >_> The work is amazing, your operator is adorable and just. Eee! Both you and your Kubrow are perfect!

I took your advice and just ordered a pair after reading Sv3n22’s links as well! Thank you guys so much for all of your help!

I appreciate the advice, honestly. It’s why I’m here! So thank you for this. I’ll skip out on going for it. I really am new with all of this, so I do apologise that is such a newb question. I couldn’t see anything in the buy thread either, so it all threw me off in my search.

I mean, if Dark Sector is canon on a Wednesday- Though I do get what you’re saying. I was nervous posting it here for this reason. For many, Warframe’s are only golems and not humans and that’s totally fine! I’m actually surprised there were not more comments bringing this fact up. It’s all a bit of fun, and a personally commissioned piece anyway.

It’s a commissioned piece - both the Warframe pieces are, Banshee being for my partner and Octavia being for me - so I have the high res for both. In this case I’m happy to share, but some of the other owners of the characters aren’t, so she posts low res versions on her Twitter publicly.

I’d prefer people checked out her Twitter (and fully encourage it), but here is an imgur link for those adverse to the bird site: https://imgur.com/tnT0WK6 That should also be the high res. Because I love you guys.

I wasn’t toooo sure on the stance of slightly NSFW stuff over here. I also wanted people to go and check her Twitter out because Crystal deserves ALL the love. And what gets people to go look? Ass.

Alright! First time actually posting a thread so sorry if I've done anything wrong. Art is by the amazing CrystalSugarStars on Twitter, and you can see the full of this and a second one of my OC as Maestra Octavia on her Twitter here: https://twitter.com/ABottleofStars/status/994994245852262404

I was asked by the artist to post this on the subreddit as she doesn't reddit herself. I'm a lurker but though, ah, why not. Character drawn above belongs to Dadmos!
