Casting silicone around the daisy wheel mould buck (if that's the right term)

Daisy wheel 3D printed buck sitting in a 3D printed tub, with a mixed tub of silicone sitting next to it

Using a toothpick with silicone on it to manually apply silicone to the finely detailed letters - to make sure there are no air bubbles clinging to them

Silicone pouring in on top of the buck, filling up the tub around it to form a mould

Wow the important bits of the mould turned out great!

The pink silicone mould flipped over to show the 3D printed buck still inside

The buck removed from the mould - showing the shape of the buck perfectly preserved in the mould

Close up of the letters in the mould - they seem to be perfectly formed but there are some bubbles visible in the hub area where I wasn't paying attention
