nicely made man

please dont hurt yourself

you inventive alien you.

wow! Damn your good!

awesome

its gotta be a bitch though to have to tighten all those bolts to open and close that thing, but it works, right?

Yea it only takes a minute or two. Since I have a socket on the end of my drill that tightens everything up nicely :)

nice. . .whats the max pressure for that anyway? :3

Well I really don't need to exceed 60 psi to remove the bubbles.. but the guys at the propane tank place that a normal tank can hold up to 300 psi. in which I really don't want to find out how much does it take to see this thing explode. I used a 1/4" steel rim that goes all around the opening where all the bolts are at and its double welded. it probably could take 300 psi but really its not necessary. I'm going to play it safe and stay around the 60 psi mark

Oh very cool we were looking to buy one at the local fx place. Show me how to build one when u come and visit :D.

Do you have a local metal shop?

I will ask Adam to double check.

So are you making action figures or is this for fursuit stuff like claws and noses?

This will be for those. but also reproduction molds of figures and stuff made out of Resin

And who doesn't want a resin statue of their characters? I know I do. Paint that sucker up and put him on my desk.

Lol Yea, Its a lot of work to make the figures. but if I were to make a few it would be wise to make actual Resin figures as for the resin is much more durable than the original clay figure

woo... i like this ..

All fun and games till somebody takes out 5 city blocks...well then everyone has a blast don't they!? MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!

What kind of Psi do you plan to fill that thing to?

I'm recalling an episode of mythbusters here where they talked about, I think, 200psi as being "like a bomb". They then went on to fire chickens at an airplane using something like 50psi.

Also I found this page which may be useful:

Looks cools man, total steampunk. Id just hope for some power tool for them bolts. maybe ya can stick some more stuff on it from some
metal straps or somethin, maybe fake electronics, or turn it into a PC with an itx board.. :]

-Z

But blowing yourself up is FUN! Oh you mean the explosive kind. ;D

And like I said before. You look like you're making flubber. XD

Now I look like i am making flubber F5 the pic

Hooray! You're my hero! *Swoons into your arms* X3

Thats ballsy these days, you can get beat up by the police because they'd think its drug lab stuff, its rare but does happen, oh well you could sue then XD

Hell yeah, Ive been wanting to make one of these for some time now, Those are the best for workiung with Carbon Fiber

check out my sweet paint job. you may have to F5 the image

hot damn

Be careful dear :)

But can it make 1.21 jiggawatts??

Actually I'm surprised that this is using positive pressure! I have been looking around for a vacuum degasser for almost the exact same purposes (removing bubbles from potting compounds) as is suggested by the manufacturer of the resins I'm looking to use. Any thoughts as to positive vs negative pressure?

You can do either. I read a few reports that even some silicons don't need to even be put into a chamber. BUT to help out to make sure your nat wasting time and money is is recommended that the silicone mold is cured inside chamber in which either compresses the bubbles so they compact themselves or a vacuum chamber in which tend to get really expensive but does remove the bubbles. Either way you get the same good results

I'm actually looking to cure optically-clear resins, so pulling the bubbles completely out is more important in my application. I would assume that with the silicon, though, the importance emphasis is moreso just on making sure the surface is as flat as possible instead of necessarily removing the bubbles - hence compacting them would be fine?

1.21 gigawatts!?!

that is just neat. put a bit of fun into a functioning tank.
