Hey, the new mold worked! It only took about two days of printing, pouring, and curing.

I still have a couple days of drying before I can actually use this mold. And there’s two more parts to pour, but moving forward feels good.

When de-molding this mold it had a preference to turn as it slid out, which meant the very tip of cone was forced to push against the very thin wings and it broke them.

I’m printing up a new positive mold that softens these wings at the end but since that’s going to take 10 hours I might pour this one again and try to de-mold it more gently.

Speaking of work: I’m making a ceramic V60 dripper! Here’s the 3d printed cone (there’ll be a base and handle)

It’s a small, single-cup, cone filter dripper that I’m hoping to have a few of in the next couple of weeks. If you have opinions about single-cup drippers and their handles, let me know!
