    Home foundry, Ceramic shell, generally lost-PLA though I'm starting to play around with wax a bit. I've got a mate who helps with resin printing and he has some burnable casting resin to try out so that's the next mission. 

    Most my stuff is intake manifolds for my own product line but can do anything really, as long as I can get into internal cavities to remove the ceramic. 

    Pumps and blower would be a good use case for investment casting for sure!

    Nice to see ya on Ivans shed! Keep up the good work! If you need anything investment cast let me know, I'd be happy to help. 

    What type of investment casting have you done?

    Do you do it at home or work at a foundry?

    Im considering doing it for parts like the water pump, oil pump and maybe even supercharger.

    Keep going, I have nothing to add of actual value aside from encouragement.


    Thanks!

    Encouragement, discussion, questions, ideas from you guys is motivating. 
     

    I’ve made the call to find more time to do this so I hope to have updates more often.

    I buy from search results and haven't had any issues with various sellers.

    Have found the coatings on Ali carbide is not as good as legit stuff but who's pricing tool changes at home?

    Yeah especially when they’re 1/10th the price! To be fair I’ll chip a tip well before Ill wear off the coating!😅

    Looking good! I love a nice detailed 3D model.

    Thanks. Doing a proper 'functional' detailed CAD takes a lot of time. I think what I have now will keep me going for a while once I can start making things again!
