Description

Adding this to Makerworld since I recently had success casting a pen blank with filament “poop” and because the HF TPU is awesome. 

 

I recently started getting into pen turning and needed a mold to make my own blanks. I initially intended to make a typical silicone mold but screwed that up. Being impatient, I decided to see if a TPU mold would work. Good news, it does! So far I've pulled multiple blanks out of the same mold and have another one curing right now!

You can find a full writeup on my instructable page here: https://www.instructables.com/id/Simple-Reusable-3D-Printed-Mold/  Thanks!

I have zero intentions on making pen blanks, but learning that resin doesn't stick to TPU...that's worth five stars! thank you!
