- On a related question, has anyone tried acrylic casting to make
- mechanical parts? While I have access to a source of various
- gears and such I can never find the ones I want to build the
- subsystems I want. Having seen some of the cool things that
- people have made out of acrylic it seemed a natural for building
- custom parts. (Yes, I've read the PlaStock catalog :-))
-
- Anyway, to make a short story long, I'm trying to track down some
- useful (ie non-generic, more specific) information on making
- molds for acrylic and casting it.
