Handle For Casting - Match Plates

thingiverse

This handle is a direct result of a TinkerCAD tutorial I created, which outlines how to craft match plates for effortless metal casting. My handles were cast in aluminum using disposable molds. This process can also be achieved with traditional sand casting. I chose the mold method as the easiest way for someone new to casting to achieve reliable results on their very first try. I've posted a video of the tutorial, and it's available for viewing at https://youtu.be/VVYMFk1R-7w. In part two, I demonstrate how a mold is created and the part is cast in your preferred metal choice. You can watch that at https://youtu.be/EnFVBwVY8Xk.
