Egg Cup project by Mayku

cults3d

Fetch the egg cup template from your FormBox starter kit. Your egg cup template has a plug in it, which blocks the air from being sucked out of the centre. Add air holes to allow air to flow freely through your design to the vacuum plate. Remove the plug from your template - if you form the template with the plug in, there will be nowhere to put your egg! You’re now ready to use this template to create a whole set of egg cups. Take a Mayku Cast Sheet from the starter kit. Peel the protective film from the top of the sheet. Remember, you can put this into household recycling. Place the Cast sheet in the FormBox, and start to heat the plastic. Place the egg cup template in the centre of the vacuum plate. When the plastic is ready, you will see ripples at the edges of the sheet and a droop in the middle. Form the template with the Mayku Cast Sheet. Allow the plastic to cool and gently pop the template out. Prepare some Mayku Pour Plaster by mixing the powder with water, using the measuring scoops provided. Pour the plaster into the mold to just below the rim. Shake the mold to remove any air bubbles. You'll see them rise to the surface. Leave to set for 30 minutes. Pop the egg cup out of the mold by applying firm pressure to the top of the mold. Sand the edges with fine sandpaper for a professional finish. Eggcellent!
