Final Results For My Latest Batch Of 3D Printed 45 Caliber Bullet Molds

This is the final video for this latest batch of 3D printed single cavity bullet 
molds.

I hope that my explanations and closeup photo/video-presentation will give you all a good idea of what I've been working with in terms of printing and then casting with these 3D printed molds.

It is my plan to print some further upgraded or improved molds until I again run out of resin.  After that I'll have to start saving up my nickles and dimes to buy another bottle. 

Hopefully the next bottle of Siraya Tech Ultra White Resin will be the last bottle dedicated to the completion of this specific project.

I can then move on to using this same resin for other upcoming projects.

I fully intend to reload and shoot the bullets I've already cast and powder coated but,  I'm going to wait till I have a few more than just the handful of cast bullets I've successfully cast thus far.

It's a long drive to the shooting range and going there with just twenty-five or thirty bullets is less than productive in my mind.

I'm afraid that posting videos of me shooting these finished bullets is beyond the scope of those  Facebook 3D printing groups I'm a member of.  

The individuals that run these particular 3D print-related groups may not take kindly to me posting what can easily be considered as "Guns and Shooting" related content; even though it was all brought about by using 3D resin printing techniques and subject matter.

When I upload those videos that further document my success with this 3D print project,  I'll be uploading them to my obscure YouTube channel.  

From there I can link the videos onto the updates  I post on the cast bullet groups here on the Facebook group site.  

If any of you are interested in viewing them you can do so by visiting the cast bullets groups here on the Facebook  site or you can do a YouTube search for those videos by searching for the Tim Montano YouTube channel.

I want to draw your attention to some of the text captions I've inserted in certain parts of this video.  Please take the time to pause the video when you see those texts appear. 

I inserted this text in this manner to clarify some of things I'm speaking of.  Also, doing it this way allows me to not have to add any more length to the video itself.

Something else I'd like to clarify about a certain section of the video.   Near the tail end of this video I'll be showing you the bullet weights I ended up with for the individual bullets.

When I get to the 9MM bullet weights,  I'm afraid my Dyslexia kicks in and I start rattling off some obviously incorrect bullet weights.  The scale clearly reads the correct weights but my brain is registering and reading off incorrect weights.

Sorry about that.   I really am Dyslexic.   This happens to me when I get into to much of a darn hurry.

Someone requested that I show the print settings I used in the printing of my bullet molds.  I've  included those print settings at the tail end of this video.  

You can pause the video here too if you'd like to see the exact settings I've been using to print the altered formulation of the Siraya Tech Ultra White Resin.

A note of importance regarding these print settings:  They are set up for my specific printer.   If you are using a different brand or model of printer, you may need to make adjustments to these setting in order to get your prints to come out how you want them to.

Lastly, I don't want to forget to give a big shout out to a guy by the name of, Bill Pennigton.  He's the fellow 3D resin print enthusiast who donated the bottle of Ultra White resin I used for printing up this latest batch of bullet molds.  You can find him on YouTube at Gulfstream Outdoors channel

Also,  for the moral support given to me by the good folks over at Siraya Tech, I am grateful.

I'll be back after I've had the chance to print up the next batch of further improved bullet molds.

Thanks again for sticking around.
