Projet 1200 - FTX Cast Burnout Tests

[bford903]

Second test:
Plasticast Investment
6hr burnout
Heavy Castings Mix

Result: Unusable. Same result as before but less severity. Failure.


I still think this is a curing issue. I believe there is still uncured resin inside the model causing the temperature differential which causes the model to expand which is damaging the investment.

I have a few more models in various stages of curing and I'm starting to notice a significant color change as the model cures. The initial color is a light yellowish-green and changes to a almost white color with a tinge of purple (this is noticeable on the first prints). The color change is occurring throughout the model from the outside in. I think curing time should be measured in days not hours.

Next test will be with Plasticast and mucho extended curing time.

Anyone know if there's a patron saint of jewelry casting?
