I got some cheap silicone molds as a gift, along with a heat gun. I've also got a bunch of failed 3D prints and filament scraps. So, i took a shot at melting that stuff into the molds with the heat gun
Not a very successful attempt. Heat control all over the place. Seemed like I couldn't get the material flowing into the mold - or I went straight to burning it. Everything stinks.
I might give it another try, but could be better off if I got an old toaster oven from a thrift store
RETVRN (to a lack of handwashing and massive fecal contamination)

Behold: I managed to make an Artifact with printer scraps, a heat gun, and a silicone cup. Progress? Sorta. Not really. Still stinks
Hey remember when I bought that boom box off ebay? Because it was the same model I had growing up? I took it apart.
Believe it or not, it's working better now. At least the FM radio part. Haven't tried the cassette decks yet. Did spray contact cleaner into all the pots and they're working great now. Considering replacing capacitors on the amplifier and power boards
Tempted to liberate the rest of the electronics from the casing and literally hose off all the plastic
Now the problem is it sounds pretty good and I found an FM station playing stuff I like, so I don't want to mess with it. Might swap over to a different project for a bit
