what's happening here? stringing?

ok, thanks. however i think the whole printing epoxy mold experiment is a failure because the 3d prints leak like the titanic, so i have to use a lot of filler/primer spray paint to make watertight. the problem then is the epoxy cast parts pick up the primer and looks awful and i'm printing gears and high detail stuff so no easy way to sand it off.

looks like i'm stuck with printing positives and making rubber molds

Actually i could try spraying the inside of the mold with metallic bronze paint since that's the final look i'm going for on the finished epoxy parts

Also bear in mind that angus did NOT print his gears solid. he had infil. A totally soild slab of gear would be a lot stronger.
