First BatchI had to fit making these in between 9 hour shifts, I am exhausted, frustrated, stressed, annoyed but slightly relieved I made something that resembles a key cap. So please go easy on me guys constructive criticism and tips are greatly appreciated!
Some things I should have done different.
- Spend more time creating the silicone mold, as in make sure there are no gaps when making the second half where it can slip down the sides
- Make sure the silicone gets into the stem of the cap when pouring as for some reason my first attempt at a second half of the mold ended up with a terrible stem that was not going to work
- Start with a less detailed design as you can see the details did not come out so well also the bubbles ruined a lot of them
- Pour the resin into the stem side before pressing together to make sure the stem will properly form
- Buy sandpaper, lol (and I might have to invest in a vacuum)
