I have designed this mold to add weight to the owl.
I've modified the bottom of the owl so it should fit seamlessly with the cast base.
scale and print all parts to your desired size. (I went with: 152.5% as it was a good safe height, close to max on my Prusa i3)
put anchor pin in bottom of owl
bolt/tape/clamp the mold together with owl, caulk/hot glue/plumbers puddy the connecting point of the base of the owl and mold. (allow to dry) [it only fits together one way, there is a dot to indicated which mold (Mold02) goes on the front side of the owl, so the feathers line up with the stabilizers]
I think how I am going to approach this is by cutting a round hole in a cardboard box so I can put the owl upside down and keep everything stable. While I pour the concrete in to the big hole on the bottom of the mold. Then allow ample time to dry.
take apart, paint, glue in eyes, clear coat, and enjoy!
i ended up with some air bubbles... i was using up some leftover construction concrete with fairly large aggregate... i suggest using the floor level kind it's much smoother and you shouldn't have my issue... otherwise i think it turned out quite spanking and I have it out on my deck.
a big thank you to christopher-auer, this is a very fun print! hope you enjoy my remix :)
