Maeghaan Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Is there anyone around here that's ever tinkered with Jewelry making (specifically with resin casting and lost wax/metal casting)? I'd love to get started with these techniques, but want to get some tips from people who've done it on starting out! I've got a set of supplies picked out from Amazon to get used to wax carving that I'm gonna grab with my next chunk of for-funsies cash.

ColoQ Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 I have been experimenting with 3DPrinting -> Silicon Mold -> Wax Positive -> Lost wax casting. My wax keeps breaking, though in demolding from the silicon. Following to see if you get any hits and or tips.

Lord Pakku, the Unhinged Posted December 25, 2016 Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 this is kinda an old thread.. but im new here, so whatever! ive done quite a bit of casting, both in jewellery scale and larger. ive casted quite a few different resins and plastics, glass, precious metals and copper alloys i do this semi professionally as a jeweler.. so, im no expert, but im always learning and willing to share what ive picked up.
