How to turn a 3D PRINT into BRONZE │ Lost PLA Metal Casting │ ASMR

Welcome to Robinson Foundry. In this video I will be using the lost PLA method to turn a 3d print into an awesome and colorful bronze casting. I started by printing the model on my 3d printer and then coated it with a ceramic material. I then fired the shell in my kiln and then poured brass into the shell. This is similar to the lost wax casting process.

this turned out amazing!! Zane is a really fantastic artist and to see his model transform into your metal casting was out of this world. every time i look at this metal sculpture and the previous ones, i wonder if people years from now finding and studying it like those sci-fi movies haha.

The end result is breathtaking...
I've been 3d-printing for 3 years now, and I can only hope to have the possibility to do this soon.

Every new design and mold created is more captivating than the last. I'm so glad I subscribed early when I did, this gives me hope for getting back into smelting again. Much love from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

Not a fan of the models, but the skill of the artist and your work bringing them to life! Amazing!

Covering ceramic with wire was a good intervention 👍

I think it may be a good idea to get a threaded rod (printed, wood, metal, doesn't matter) that threads into the sprue (print threads into the sprue hole). Then you can have an easily removed handle for dipping while avoiding having to burn out the wooden handle each time.

Couldn't the kiln reach the temps to melt the bronze?

Didn't you make this exact video a month ago? But with another model

Hey man i really Love your videos and i learned so much from your channel. I Want to ask you, what proportions do you use in your casting sands? I Want to idé a combination of petro and bentonite but im not sure what ratio to use and what oil work with the clay. Could really use some guidens. Keep Up your great work! Best regards from Sweden!

[ClamZ]

Super casting - all these details just come out soo good when using this technique!! Sweeet!! :) As the bronze objects that I do get bigger nowadays the cruciple also needs to grow now - this tool you use looks super handy - Can you give me hints for building this „casting device “? Greetings from germany !!! 🥳

[Dave-wvvc]

Any reason you usually use hot glue instead of something like gorilla glue super glue?

[Mistertbones]

Investment casting (lost wax or lost PLA) produce some amazing results. Great job!

[Jotato_Tube]
