So I finally got to the actual silicone casting part of this project.
For a first try of a really complicated process, it turned out pretty well I think. I really wasn't sure if it would work out but it went pretty smoothly! There's a few bubbles and it cast a bit thin in some places but I should be able to touch it up okay.
Cast in dragonskin silicone, with some bits of power mesh embedded in the silicone in parts where it might be more prone to tearing, like the edges of the mouth.
Vacuum pump and chamber to degas the silicone before casting to keep bubbles to a minimum.
So next up is trimming and patching it up, and attaching it to the ABS head base I printed a while back. Still lots of work to go.
