Silicone dragon progress (Patreon)

Making some more progress on this big project.
I printed the head base in ABS. That was definitely a challenge, I haven't printed large objects in ABS before. It warps a lot while printing, even in a heated enclosure, took a lot of fiddling and a few tries to get it printing right.
Printed it on 4 pieces and acetone welded them together. Also my first time trying this, it takes a lot more acetone than I imagined. Had to soak the edges for a few minutes before squishing and holding them together until they set. Going to acetone smooth the teeth, so that saves sanding/filling at least.
And molds for all the horns on the face. Plaster molds because these will be cast in neoprene (creaturecast). Which is a lot like latex to use.
Got a few pics of the process of making the molds for the big horns. Same process as ever with making plaster molds.
