Hello,
I’m Experimenting with laser engraving en pewter casting and i toughed you might be interested to see the results. I made a 3 part mold, and the results look promising.
I used MDF and also tested 3mm Triplex (what worked also fine, Some woodgrain visible though) I’m going to experiment some more, i want to try 3D depth carving to see how that is going to look.
If you have any questions, idea’s, concerns or want the project file. Feel free to ask me:)
Niet zo veel ben ik bang, de mal heeft vrij veel te lijden, en soms kreeg ik ze er niet goed uit. ik zou zeggen een stuk of 3-5.
Not to many i guess 3-5, the mold breaks quite easy (especially the mid section). i have to do some more test though. maybe i can engrave the negatives on a fatter piece of mdf and make the mid sections trow-away.
Also if you want to test this out, Use chalk/baby powder to dust the mold.
and if you made a positive that would fit inside the mold (suddenly one of the coins already ready), then put a piece of aluminum foil and press it to make a lining? I don’t know if it would, but it’s an idea.
