You don't have your own CNC milling machine and the software to run it to hand by chance???

Just for you guys, heres how to do the rest of it without a CNC machine.

I superglued the photopolymer versions onto some discs of MDF the right size and cut round them then wrapped some electrical tape around to give a clean edge.



Put them in some molding forms and poured silicone onto them, left it to cure and demolded.

Perfect copies, a lot less finishing needed on casts from these molds as they are flat, my CNC one had a slight dome to it.

The larger one is for my wheel centre caps.

Heres the first casts out of the molds.



Cheers

Here my first attempt at colour infill. I filled with coloured gelcoat up the edges.



Its really thick so hasn't really settled in the recesses. I'm going to try and overfill and sand down on the next ones.

Cheers
