Orb and sphere mold for miniature scale helmets, bowls, and vases

<p>A quick tool I made the other day to help make those bubble-style helmets popular in retro science fiction and the Jetsons.</p> <p>The intended use is as follows:</p> <ol> <li>Spray or brush both halves of the mold with your preferred mold release agent</li> <li>Fit the two halves tightly together, and apply an elastic or some such to keep them so</li> <li>Pour or inject your resin or other transparent compound into the space through the hole on the one side</li> <li><p>Once cured, pull halves apart and remove orb casting The hole should also allow you to place an object in the middle of the mold, if you so dare.</p> <p>Note: Scale to 125% for a bubble that should tightly fit the space of a 28 mm miniature's head. I encourage you to play around in your slicer or other 3D software to make sure that it will work for your needs.</p> </li> </ol> Category: 3D Printing
