Just for fun!
Made a shape out of gray self-drying hobby clay, took a (very clumsy) silicon mold of it, and now I have a fun shape to pour excess soap into if I make too much for the main mold.
On the left: clay thing. On the right: lavender soap.
Thats amazing! Ive seen some stone soaps but I had no idea thats how it was done, thanks for sharing and beautiful work!
A new hand touches the beacon!
Genius! I’m getting some olive oil right now. About out of soap.
I have a question — is there any way to smoothe out the grooves made by the 3d printing prpcess? Is there any good site I can look at that catalogs these techniques?
The lines are from sandpaper when I flattened and sharpened the edges :)
Only had very coarse sandpaper lying around. Finer paper would make it smoother.
?
nothing in that photo is 3d printed
Oh, whoops
OP meant, “if I made a 3d printed mold for soap”. Didn’t seem completely stated.
You could spray paint the printed model with sandable primer. Then you can sand and spray it repeatedly until you get the finish you are looking for.
