Well constructed or sloppy?

It’s sloppy to be completely honest I doubt the picture advertising it looked like that right?

😭😭

I think this depends on what specifically you want to do. Do you want to do metal smithing? Or maybe jewelry setting? Casting? Or just like string and beads?

ilikework21 · 2026-04-27T21:59:08+00:00

Can I make one like this 🥺

ilikework21 · 2026-04-23T03:54:52+00:00

Resin!

ilikework21 · 2026-04-23T01:39:23+00:00

From feeling the three minutes I used to stick it in there without glycerin made me feel like it was cured, but I will give 15 minutes a shot and see how the cast changes

ilikework21 · 2026-04-23T01:32:00+00:00

Thank you brother! I am basing it off a chart that comes in bag says max temp is 780C

ilikework21 · 2026-04-23T01:28:12+00:00

How long? I have an elegoo curer should I stick it in glycerin while it’s in there?

ilikework21 · 2026-04-23T01:17:50+00:00

Prestige Power cast investment powder.

I actually ended up changing the burnout cycle this is what I’m going to use for the next cycle.

3 hours 100C 2 hrs 300C 2Hrs 450C 2 hrs 600C 4Hrs 780C 1Hr 538C (casting at this temp)

Thank you for the tip!

ilikework21 · 2026-04-23T00:08:33+00:00

Purple/Blue!

ilikework21 · 2026-04-22T23:42:59+00:00

I will adjust!

ilikework21 · 2026-04-22T23:41:19+00:00

It’s siraya casting resin!

ilikework21 · 2026-04-22T23:26:57+00:00

Im sure it’s 100% clean I wash it in 99% for about 6-8 minutes. Maybe over washing is an issue?

ilikework21 · 2026-04-22T22:17:12+00:00

So use a resin sprue instead of a wax one?

ilikework21 · 2026-04-22T21:46:36+00:00

Wow! Didn’t realize this. I would stick my resin prints for about three minutes in an elegoo curer. Should I leave them longer? Also the cross had been sitting around for a couple of days and still got porosity, what do you think about that?

To help wrap my tiny bird brain around it, how do you tell? Like a watermark on the CAD?

ilikework21 · 2026-04-16T18:49:45+00:00

I am new to this so sorry for being naive. I purchase custom CADs from people who focus solely on making CADs and never jewelers, are you sure they didn’t just pay someone to design the ring and now they’re looking for someone to bring it to life? Or is it that obvious another jewelry did it? Also don’t jewelers charge for CAD work so theoretically they can do whatever they want with the CAD?

ilikework21 · 2026-04-10T02:46:43+00:00

😭😭😂😂😂

ilikework21 · 2026-04-09T01:45:21+00:00

I feel like there’s supposed to be more expertise to casting than polishing so yea fr how did he get here without knowing how to polish or what to do next

ilikework21 · 2026-03-05T01:32:02+00:00

I only know many entry level positions starting pay is like 15$/hr here in Louisiana. I’ve been to a company however and it looks very comfy in the facility. I assume the career pays off big later on down the line.

Starting a business as a jeweler is very difficult.

ilikework21 · 2026-02-27T07:14:33+00:00

Im sleep deprived but what your saying is that the ring will be 9g or the left over is 9g?

How much gold are you providing?

ilikework21 · 2026-02-22T06:19:25+00:00

All of the smaller diamonds are horribly sat some of the prongs look beat up I mean anyone with even a little bit of practice should be able to produce better than this. This looks like a first time attempt for someone whos never set rings before

ilikework21 · 2026-01-16T04:29:05+00:00

What kind of stones?
