sabi54 Posted July 15 Report Share Posted July 15 hi I'm trying to make this kind of mold for thin pieces from 3D printed objects. i wonder if anyone knows where to get mold duct tubing in europe, since i can't find any supplier. Maybe there is another term ? maybe i can replace it with a knitted cotton tube ? If anyone has an idea, it will be highly appreciated ❤️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Longtin Posted July 15 Report Share Posted July 15 Hello Sabi54. Nice link. The gal describes the process well. Two differences in my experience: 1) I let the mold purge a full 60 minutes at the end. (50-70 lbs. depending upon the pressure setting of the hydraulic press.) 2) I usually poured in a rigid mold casing made of steel or pvc. (That protected the molds from cracking when the press brought the two molds together.) Mold duct tubing - the first time I ordered it, without knowing its proper name, I called it "hollow cloth rope". If the rope highlighted, holds its round shape, then I think it might work. sabi54 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterH Posted July 21 Report Share Posted July 21 I expect that the UPS charge could be prohibitive, but 1/8" * 1/4" Molduct is available from https://www.axner.com/search.aspx?find=molduct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
