Crow he/him Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 Just found out my school’s engineering department has a crucible and stuff to make silicone molds so I am going to try to cast some Terris rings and bracers for fun! Gonna post updates here. (For reference sake I have never done anything like this before so we’ll see how it goes) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crow he/him Posted February 25 Author Report Share Posted February 25 Version 1 of my zincmind (obviously I have to cut out part of the back so it is wearable) personally I am thinking of pivoting a bit and making it 1/2 the length of my arm instead of full length and making the zinc glyph an engraving instead of a cut out also making the zinc glyph a bit bigger. Looking for any feedback on how I could improve this. Did a small update like this one much more but still think I am gonna make a smaller one 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trusk'our he/him Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 It looks amazing! I hope you'll show us the end product once it's done! Also, I'm guessing that Feruchemical zinc is your favorite power? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine favorites are steel, pewter, iron, nicrosil, and duralumin. For now, anyway; it usually changes based on which hacks I can think up of for a metal at any given time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you cast in pure Zinc? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crow he/him Posted February 26 Author Report Share Posted February 26 Not to expensive I think. I can get 5lbs of basically pure (+99.99%) zinc for $40 USD but everything I am finding has trace amounts of cadmium (>0.0004%) and as someone who is not very familiar with all of this I am trying to find out how much is considered dangerous. (If anyone know the answer to this please tell me) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crow he/him Posted March 2 Author Report Share Posted March 2 Just a quick update the bracer are proving difficult but the test fitting should be done soon. V1 was wayyyyyy off, V2 fit kind of but there were some issues with movement/range of motion restriction so I am upping the height for V3 but I have a suspicion I may need to do a bit more height adjustment later 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
