sorry folks -been tinkering with the file.

Settings are now as good as I can get them for hinge placement.
Last three have no discernible gaps once assembled.
40mm skull mould is available for ordering.
At some point I'll work out why I can't resize it without things going all to hell - actually, the last tweak I made to the glande mould about 10 mins ago - could be the culprit - we'll see.
But for me it's the ideal size anyway
I might make it in 30 and 50mm.
Any smaller or larger would seem daft.
Although a 20-25mm one would make great sling shot/catapult ammo
Given that the metal hinges are 40mm wide - smaller moulds will look pretty strange anyway.

I could spend a bunch of time  fiddling around and maybe save a few grams  - but Honestly, who cares lol

The first test mould (50x30) is now out in the wild and I will be hassling cairo till he makes  a bunch of glandes and sends me pictures

Vetryan - your's will start printing overnight.
Going to be a 60x30

The body of the moulds are made from PLA (polylactic acid) this is an enviromentally friendly bioplastic. Made from renewable vegetable matter - cornstarch mainly.
While strong and durable it is also biodegradable - in the right conditions: IE: a hot compost heap. 
Hinges and bolts are made from stainless steel.
No petrochemicals used.

Moulds are washable, but not necessarily 100% watertight.
So drain well after washing.

I'll get pics and usage video up as soon as cairo's given it a thorough testing.
I never managed to break the original printed hinges - so I need someone a bit more heavy handed to do the thorough testing  

Short of the actual mould breaking - and I'm printing these with settings that take a lot longer than my usual settings and are a lot stronger - I don't foresee any issues.

But, unforeseen issues apart - they are ready to be released into the wild

I'll sort pricing out shortly.

snow glandes
get them really dense and leave outside to freeze !

We had about half an inch of snow fall yesterday afternoon. Was gone by evening.
That could be it for this year !

So, when are you going to make an igloo ?

the clean ones look like this.

The big one is going to Christian in Austria, the one in the middle is going to Vetryan in america.
Not sure what size to send you yet jaegoor. But it won't be big enough to hit the 180gm mark. That kind of size just isn't practical.

And the skull, hmmm

Raffle ?

Thats an idea, would be fun.


I did, its buried under all the snow, and its camouflaged. 

Alex, ich nehm einen großen. 😁

well yeah the igloos would be temporary - 'cos this time next year - you'll be in the log cabin !!!!!!!!


well I haven't posted anything yet...

I wish, i havent started on the cabin, it has been put on the back burner for a couple years. Looking at getting more land with more trees that i can use.  But the current living situation,  off grid dry tiny house is doing very well for us.
