Thomas mold
It's been a while since I've done any mold making. I knocked this one up to make soap bars for my son, but couldn't find the soap base right away so I cast it in plaster as a test: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1570441

Cool!

Re: Thomas mold
Wow, that came out great. Did you do any finishing on the mold, or just use it as it came off the machine?

Re: Thomas mold
No finishing other than a generous layer of Johnson paste wax as a mold release. Tape around the outside seam just to insure against leaks.
Here it is in soap. Much easier to "finish".
