Dyskusja o Aluminium Casting Styrofoam Cups and Heat Sinks
- Opinie i zdania tu macie
- As the hot metal entered the mold, it melted the lower portion of the foam and the sand then collapsed inward. Casting sand will do you....
- use wetter sand you want it wet enough to stick together abd you want to pack the sand down
- Ps one thing doing a pour in your slippers is not recommended lol not if you like your feet and toes anyway
- You are a very clever boy when I wAs that age I was no where near as switched on as you now @ 38 I've got a masters degree in mech engineering and I'm an applications engineer for a massive Austrian machine tool maker........ What I'm saying is the sky is basically the limits for you I don't think there is nothing that you can't achieve I work with 16 to 22 year olds in the UK everyday and a guarantee if you put all of them together they would not be as capable as you credit where and when it's due I tip my hat in your direction I would wish you look but I don't think you need it Good look
- you are really good at this, im amazed and cant wait to start doing this.

6:04wow dude, congratulations!
This is so fucking exciting.
If I could live through two childhoods, this stuff would be a major part of the other one.
"I not actually going to use it, I just want to see if it works." FUCK YEAH! You bring a tear to my eye, even though I'm only 24.
Also, that cup you made was kinda cool as it was just after casting, with the foot. It was like a goblet.
- We
Learn more from our failures than our wins. I admire your energy and enthusiasm. Well done!
- What if you tried channeling the molten aluminium to flow through the bottom to the top? That may get rid of some of the gas getting stuck.
- You are using the wrong sand for one thing. Also you pour too quickly
- Use green sand and it won't collapse in when pouring. That's your problem not temp.
- For those primitive methods the result is actually very good! Lost foam castings are usually filled bottom up and the sand has some epoxy binder in it so that it does not collapse in the second the styrofoam goes off...
- Those experimental heatsinks turned out excellent brethren!!! Just refer to them as Art Pieces and you're golden!
- Your cup looked purple at about
6:10 was that because of the heat or just a purple can?
- you shouldent have cut the sprew on the cup it made it look like a cool gobblet
- I have a large number of soda can;s and was thinking i could melt them down into ingots and take them to the recycling center and sell them/ Have ever sold ingots at the recycling center or would they be suspicious they have a steel or lead core?
Thanks for sharing your videos and tip,s on the process.
- Looks like you made a pair of nice candle holders on the first pour.
- You should find a video for making green sand or buy some . Your castings don't work because the sand doesn't hold its form. Green sand will hold its form.
- you need a vent
- crazy russian hacker did an experiment a long time ago when he took a bunch of Styrofoam cups and fused them together, so maybe chek it out and try it (maybe search crazy russian hacker Styrofoam cups or something like that...)
