How to Make Unique Soap Molds, Trump Soap on a Rope

Soap Molds that you make yourself.

Experiment!  Today we are going to show you how to make a unique soap mold using a 3D printer and ComposiMold. We downloaded a design of the Bust of President Trump from Thingiverse that was designed by CU 3D and threefer. It took several tries to print before we were ready with our Master shape. To make the surface smoother than what you get with the 3D printer we washed the shape in acetone.

To make the soap mold: we hot glued the Trump Bust to the bottom of a cup and then sprayed it with Bubble Buster.

We melted the ComposiMold-Flex  Re-usable Mold Making Material  in the microwave for about 1 minute using a 40 oz. container to obtain enough melted molding material. This was poured over the master part.

The mold solidified in about 30 minutes in the freezer. The original part was extracted from the mold, and we now have a unique soap mold.

In this project, we are making a Soap on a rope, so a piece of rope is placed into the mold. The soap is melted in the microwave and then poured into the chilled ComposiMold Mold.

Be sure the soap is cool prior to pouring into the mold.

We then extract the soap from the mold by peeling the ComposiMold away from the soap and then pressing the shape out. If necessary, use scissors to cut a parting line.

While 3D printing the bust, we had a print that did not complete, which gave us another idea for
adding a sponge to the top of the bust. So here is another mold and soap we
made of President Trump. The mold making process is the same.

You will notice that the head was facing to opposite way in the mold because we wanted his head to be open when we poured in the soap.

The sponge is cut to fit the shape of his head.

We added a piece of rope to the sponge so it will stay on his head better.

We then poured in the melted soap and placed the sponge on to his head.

This mold was placed in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before pulling the soap out of the mold.

We carefully pulled the ComposiMold away from the soap, and we had our very own soap of the President of the United States.

"Oogoo", ComposiMold-Flex, and The 3D Printer

"Oogoo", ComposiMold-Flex, and The 3D Printer....a trifecta of endless creative possibilities! Watch our video today to see how we 3D printed a frog figurine, molded it with ComposiMold-Flex, and duplicated it in an "oogoo" silicone rubber material.

We love using ComposiMold to duplicate parts printed with a 3D Printer. Using the CAD program is not our favorite part, so we visit www.thingiverse.com to order parts designed by other creative people. Then we can get to the mold making part!

Supplies Needed for this Project:
ComposiMold-Flex, 20oz.
A 3D Printed Master Object
100% Silicone Caulking
Mineral Spirits

Odorless Mineral Spirits

ComposiMold in Conjunction with the 3-D Printer

Rapid Prototyping using 3-D printing to Make Masters

The ability to make parts fast and inexpensive is the essence of ComposiMold products. By using a 3-D printer to make your original prototype, it is then possible to make duplicates of your design quickly and cost effective. ComposiMold and the 3-D Printer are a match made in heaven!

The process for Rapid Prototyping:

Design your part or product. Get as much detail as possible. 

Make a prototype. With a 3-D printer, it takes knowing how to make a drawing in a 3-D CAD program. Their are a number of 3-D CAD programs available. Wizbe Innovations (ComposiMold) has used Solidworks, Rhino3D, and Alibre. Lots of others are also available. Some provide free versions. The most important part is the software must be able to handle STL files.

Print your 3-D part. We have used http://www.zoomrp.com/ and with success. We have also used parts from Shapeway.com.

Typically, the 3-D parts will be hollow to reduce cost of the printing, so keeping the part from floating is a challenge. Add sand inside the 3-D printed part with a piece of clay to keep it in.

Make your mold as you would for any ComposiMold part. 

Rapid Prototyping by Hand/Sculpting:

Rapid prototyping using polymer clay (such as Sculpey, FIMO, etc.) is a good way to make your original master for casting. If you are using polymer clay, the process takes artistic skill but the ComposiMold process is the same.

Happy Mold Making! Michelle
