Build an epic sand structure one brick at a time! All without the hassle of shaking or slamming the mold to get the sand to release. Get a perfect brick every time!
Enjoy a poorly filmed video from my cellphone demonstrating how to use the molds:
Print parts as oriented. Whatever your standard settings are should work for most of the parts. The parts to be mindful of are the ‘screw’ and ‘ejector’. I have printed them with my standard settings (0.2mm layer, 80mm/s perimeters, 200mm/s infill) and they work fine, but are much smoother on the sets I printed at 0.12mm layers (without changing the speeds).
I have not attempted to print them scaled in either direction, I would be wary of the screw, especially if scaling down. But by all means, throw caution to the wind and print it however you want.
Assemble as shown below:
I'm planning to add more shapes, but no promises!
*** 07.05.23 EDIT - Added looser fit versions of each of the ejector handles per feedback. The regular files have 0.3mm clearance between the handle and the ejector, the ‘looser’ varieties have 0.6mm clearance. Also added test prints for the threads in the folder ‘Thread test’.
