Make Metal Parts with a 3D Printer (lost polymer casting tutorial)

lost polymer casting is one of my favorite activities.  the ability to design and make metal parts is intriguing...  i may not have completely mastered it yet, but i've learned a lot of painful lessons, and i've developed a method that should help you get started.

in answer to numerous questions:

* the electric melting pot i use is a Do-It Molds Hot Pot-2: https://www.amazon.com/Do-It-Molds-18...

* the specific plaster of paris i used is: https://www.amazon.com/Plaster-Paris-...

good luck, and let me know how your experiments turn out!  :-)
