FACE MOULD

Decided to not make the face mould pretty on the outside and just focus on the inside. After all that's what counts when you make a cast. The rest just needs to work. ​

Took long enough but both halves of version 1 have finished printing. It was a bit tricky finding a good orientation at which to print these two pieces with minimum support structures. The back of the mould was printed with a rougher setting to speed up the process and the front part of the mould was printed at the finest setting my ender 3 could muster so the surface of the face is as smooth as possible out the box as it's hard surface finishing concave shapes like this.

Next up some magnets need to be glued into that alien looking back part of the mould so they can hold the encapsulated magnets prepared earlier in place inside the mould.

These magnet capsules will then fuse with with the face silicone when it's curing and hold the face in place on the skull understructure later on. ... At least that's the plan. We'll see how it works out.
