In this video, I go over how I convert 3d prints into cold-cast keyrings. The video includes making the model more compatible with the casting process as well as adding a spout and ring loop. Then printing it, pouring the mould, and finally casting with polyurethane and metallic powder to create a cold cast keyring.
