Daniel Zhu Mold 3

This mold was designed to test a technique where the channels are achieved by dipping a texture in the mold by resting it on the top as it cures.

Unfortunately, the second half of the mold misprinted and the replacement didn’t come through in time so I was only able to test one side. The casting process was relatively successful but still need some refinement. I was able to have the channels rest at the right height and also have the fillet on the other side. However, because I had left the raft on the texture side of the mold, I did not realize that the mold did not fill completely up. I first poured silicone into the mold to fill the bottom, added the texture, then filled around the texture. However, I should have probably filled the mold with silicone first then added the texture in afterwards.
