Modular Metal Casting Flasks (part5) - 3D printed modules - pattern updates

This is a quick update video to show the current stage of the Modular Flask project. Just a reminder these are 3D printed PLA patterns to assemble in a modular fashion that you can use (and reuse) make metal casting flasks of any size! At the end of the project i will release a whole set of designs (various sizes and modules) for people to print themselves or alter or do what they want with. These modular casting flask patterns can be used with green sand casting or petrobond casting to make a flask of any size you like. Special thanks have to go to my mate Perry (SwDweeb). Perry's idea and my subsequent rehashing of it, i think, has really been huge to the evolution of this latest flask design. It has made a HUGE difference. It's also really given me some much needed pep! you will see what i mean when you watch! War Grade (Andy) needs a special mention too, he's come up with a nice idea to remove some slots from the wings at the casting stage. I do have a feeling that some of you may have mentioned something similar but (as i said in my last video pinned comment) i have trouble understanding long technical worded stuff, and i'm not trying to detract from your awesome idea, i just maybe didn't get what you were trying to say at the time. If this is the case, i apologise. War Grade sent me an image and even I can understand that :) (links to Perry's and Andy's channel's below) Also i show my long wanted version of Perry's spin trap, i will put it in the drag then put the top part of the spin trap in the cope and hopefully it will mean a nice casting (and might even save me some time!). As before if you have an awesome idea i'd love to hear it. I'll read all the comments and comment when i can, but if you really want to get across that complicated 3D idea, an image will really help me out. To email me you ideas and/or images, go to the 'about' tab on my channels page, there is an email address there :) you guys have been so awesome as per usual, thank you for your comments thumbs ups and shares, they make a HUGE difference to the number of people that this video reaches. Also thank you for your lovely supportive comments too, you are all awesome! i really think this is going to be amazing!!! I am aware i've spelt at least three words wrong! after i've watched a video for the sixth time it's hard to notice these things (especially as the little screen to watch while editing is tiny and covered with lines all over it :) Links: SWDweeb's channel (Perry): (fairly sure you're already subscribed!) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAyW0r-deFC-GmzbuG3j3dQ War Grade's channel: (Andy): (go subscribe, he's great!) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIBl3O28PM7VnX8ljz1WVJg/videos The Modular flask series: Part 1: https://youtu.be/zXBs2Rge71U Part 2: https://youtu.be/xj7AWDzdx_E Part 3: https://youtu.be/NQhKtfiIxYE Part 4: https://youtu.be/qHVuOXh-fi4 Part 5: (this is part 5) https://youtu.be/VBDA9LyMaFY The Modular flask Playlist (all the videos in a playlist): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXBs2Rge71U&list=PLuA-gfv2vkCdYWejHY2vCy6zNX_icYAWp I will be releasing all the files for the design/modules once it's been shown to be "not terrible"! I'm not sure where yet but probably on https://www.thingiverse.com/JulianHG/designs So you will be able to modify, copy, alter or do anything with them :) PLEASE SHARE IF YOU CAN! - it makes a huge difference! thank you! #ModularFlasks #CastingMetalFlasks #CastingFlask
