Wanted: Small one-time odd job metal casting pendants

I do them for $20. Each no problem. Minimum quantity of 50 plus $20.00 an hour for cad modeling, 3d printed master pattern fee, and a mold fee of $45.00 for the silicon mold that will ship along with the castings.
Hell considering the original one sold for $1,100 bucks, it's a bargain.

Did a quick cad model in alibre and rendered it. Im thinking that this is the coin as it was new. Next step is to move the model into Z brush and beat it up some to put the age on it... Well after a quick test print to make sure it looks ok...

 

first edition didnt look quite right when printed.. I went back and reduced the edge fillet and enlarged the eye at the top.. printing second go round now....

 

Yea, I went back and traced it off the original picture this time...also made the center boss not so high on it, but you cant really see it on the renders...

 

Should be good enough to move into Z brush now.. although I could just beat up the wax prior to casting and keep from having to do the extra cad model time and making a second mold.
Then again maybe I can get perish4 to send me a bottle of the blue cast resin for my printer to try out. Then I wouldn't need to make any molds and could go right from print to casting...
Hit the fdm prints with a bit of blue lacquer, think the second one is pretty good...

 

These were just for getting a rough idea. Ill be printing them on the resin printer when I go to make the master pattern....

 

Actually I though of cuddlefish bone casting....

 

After one try you wont try it again!! It stinks!!

 

It wouldn't be for me doing it. It would be so the original poster could do them himself...
Not everyone has 200 lbs of petro bond and foundry equipment in their shop.
This they could carve out and just melt the pewter on the stove in a spoon...
