It's time for Modela to work! i used Modela Player4 as a windows software because i had some issues with installing ubuntu on the pc and i was running out of time, with 3mm endmill for roughing and 1.5r ball nose for finishing i had my successful mold.

i had to isolate the wax with dish cleaner liquid to make easier to get out the mold, then i poured the silicon rubber which i have got from a local store in the wax.
15 minutes later i got out my mold.

For the casting part i used the default one in the Fab Lab Inventory "Smooth-Cast 305"
