Epic insane 3D printing vacuum forming mutant adventure- Part 2

 Okay, so I re printed the lamp head. This time I will be using a different method to vacuum forming though...


 I sanded, smoothed and painted the 3D lamp shade...

Then I made a mould. I made a watertight acrylic housing. I inserted the 3D lamp shade into the housing and poured dental alginate (a rubbery moulding substance) into the negative space (the space between the housing and the 3D printed part.

This resulted in a outer mould. I used the same process to form an inner mould...
Then I was able to cast clear casting resin into the negative space (space between outer and inner mould).
