3D Printing, Silicone Molds, & Craft Resin for #Locksport
Hope this video gets some minds going and some cool projects come from it!  I have personally had a great time with these projects.

Materials:
-15A silicone - The kit I buy comes with color dyes and lego bricks
-25A Platinum silicone - Needed for casting models from resin 3D printers
-Craft resin - I use a 1:1 ratio resin.  Follow the instructions on the resin you use
-Drill and different mixing heads for the different silicones and resin
-Vacuum chamber to suck out the bubbles from the silicone and especially the resin
