Master-model molding preparation
from Cast It
The required amount of Elastic resin ≈15-20 gr. The required amount of Flash resin ≈20 gr. Total cure time for both resins was ≈20 hours.
It was dyed with glitter and luminophore.
All samples made with Test 2 form. Unfortunately, the sensor has not turned on. The elastic part was too thick.
Overall, the idea to mix both resins was interesting and gave good result. The top surface is touchable, but the bottom is solid.
It was definitely better to put rivet into the first layer (elastic) of casting.
TEST 8. MG-EPOX-ELASTIC
The required amount ≈40 gr. Cure time was ≈18 hours.
It was dyed to blue with glitter and luminophore.
The sample made with Test 3 form. Tests 7 & 8 were made simultaneously. Test 8 was finished before this one. There was no room for extra resin in this form to make the surface solid from bottom side.
The most successful experiment which shows well developed touchable texture that connected to the sensor and switches the light correctly.
