Making Molds and Breaking Molds

March 2, 2026

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.
