Pewter cast in ABS mold
thingiverse
Casting metals like pewter into 3D printed ABS molds is possible due to their lower melting points, providing great detail and ease in casting. Pewter, with its melting point of 466F, was successfully cast without any issues, while lead and zinc faced challenges such as shrinkage and brittleness. Mold design plays a crucial role, as the cavity must not have any internal support to avoid trapping plastic within the finished piece. ABS can be removed using sharp nippers or acetone for parts that cannot be safely removed. For best results, use pewter for casting due to its beauty, strength, and ease of tooling and polishing.
