Week 3- PLA Casting Outcome
I took out the casting glass from the mould made last time.
Before starting to take out the casting glass, I checked the bottom of the mould. The melted glass overflowed, and it did not seem to enter into the hole correctly.
Due to the defect of the bottom of the glass, I was afraid it would be damaged; however, I just tried smashing the PLA casting mould to take out my casting glass.
The plaster mould was too firm; hence I was quite struggling while I separated the mould and casting glass.
Finally, I took out the cat from the mould. The upper part of the glass was manufactured quite well, however, the lower part of the cat seemed to have been failed to take a form. Maybe, the temperature of the kiln was a little high for my casting glass. Moreover, there was a glass lump between legs and body and the reason of that could be that the inside of the mould was not clean.
Would I obtain a satisfying result if I put the casting glass in a low-temperature kiln?
Could I get a satisfactory result if I cleaned the dust inside of the mould more clearly?
I should try more experiments to find an accurate method for my glass, indeed.
