Two of the big projects I've got happening at the moment.
I got the personal mask design pretty much done now, so now I've got to chop it up into bits and start printing it. I've also printed the first half of the base "skull" for it.
Second project is more experimenting with directly 3d printing molds for latex masks. It took a couple of weeks of printing to get all these mold bits done. Then a couple more weeks to actually cast the latex pieces. Since latex cures through moisture evaporation, the method to cast these is quite different than with using plaster molds. Have to pour in each layer, wait for it to cure, then continue this process until its built up a decent thickness. Took about 20 layers for the mask, and 2 weeks of drying time. And a lot longer for the hands, also had to stick a hair dryer in there or the ends of the fingers just wouldn't dry at all. It's definitely a lot more of a laborious process than with plaster molds, not sure if I'll continue to do it this way, but it's fun to try new things.
Still waiting for the ears and horns to cure, but once I've got this mask and hand set assembled it will be available for purchase to my patrons.
