Hi all,
So this is my first mould, it's not overly complex, however attempt number one was a failure.
The products worked brilliantly, and the detail was really good.
Sadly I had to break the mould as there was no way of getting a grip on the pattern to release it
Below are pictures of the part, it sadly I isn't flat so I built flanges around the edges last time.
The part is made from aluminium as well.
Any tips on how to mould this would be great.
