3Dator foot silicone mold

This is a simple mold to make a foot for the 3Dator Puring the Silicone Step 0 - Print the mold Important: Use at least 20% infill and at least 6 top layers with 0.1mm layer height. Try to print as clean as you can, since this effects the result 1:1. Step 1 - Prepare the mold Make sure that the print is clean and has no strings, since everything wrong with the mold gets transfered to the Foot. In my experience the mold doesn't need mold release, since pla or petg is slippery enough. Step 2 - Mix the silicone Depending on your choice of silicone mix it accordingly to the instructions. You will need about 6-7g per foot (x4 if you want to fill all 4 molds). Tipp: Transfer the mixed silicone to a second container and mix it again, this makes sure that its really mixed I used a silicone with a hardnes of around 20 Shore. Harder silicones dont dampen the vibrations as much. Step 3 - Pour the silicone in all molds Simply pour the silicone into the mold. And wait for it to harden Step 4 - Wait for the silicone to cure Wait for the silicone to cure. It is better to wait longer since the hardened silicone has to be strong enough to be pulled out of the mold.
