I've been experimenting with mold-making and casting lately, and I kept finding myself needing molds that were almost the right size but never quite fit the project. So I ended up creating a Parametric Casting Mold that can be easily adjusted to different dimensions instead of redesigning the whole thing every time. The goal was to make something flexible enough for small casting projects while staying simple to print and use. After a lot of tweaking, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Being able to generate a custom mold in a few clicks has already saved me quite a bit of time on test pieces and prototypes. I'm curious to see what other makers use it for—resin, plaster, concrete, soap, wax, or anything else that benefits from a custom-sized mold. Parametric tools can be incredibly useful when you need a quick one-off solution without opening CAD and starting from scratch. Parametric mold designs are becoming increasingly popular in the MakerWorld community for exactly that reason. If you give it a try, I'd love to see your results and hear any suggestions for future improvements. Thanks for checking it out!

Mini Speed Bump Keychain – A Tiny Protest in PLA 😄 This little model started as a small protest idea. Here in the province of Siena, the local authorities have been installing tons of new speed bumps, many of them higher than the law actually allows. So I thought — if they love bumps so much, why not give them one they can carry in their pocket. I’m even thinking about adding a magnet and leaving one near the actual speed bumps — a tiny reminder to maybe calm down with the real ones. 😅

After a long time of watching videos about dye, I decided to give it a try and started creating some masters for making silicone molds. It’s probably more addictive pouring the silicone inside than the printing time. Anyway, I think it turned out pretty well for this. If you have any tips, I’m all ears 😁”
