WHAT will COME OUT from THAT ??
In my spare time i love to design objects that
solve daily problem.... Today, i decided to create
a mould for an Hair Dryer Adapter.
The project looks complex, due to geometry and
small tolerances, but i decided to give it a try
eitherway.
I started modeling the adapter with Fusion 360

360/students-teachers-educators (now offers a non
commercial use license)
Soon after i moved to the 3d Printing which took
around 6 h in total. To proceed with the casting i
needed to prepare the mould with some tape (to
avoid leaking of the resin), and some abrasive
paste acting as detaching agent.
After everything was in place i did the casting,
and waited for the resin to cure completely.
Last step was to open the mould, taking care of
drafts and difficult parts to open. The object came
out in good conditions (not perfect, but ok).
I saw straight away that the fitting was perfect on
both sides, and gave it to my wife to test it.
Sadly, after 2/3 days it started detaching from the
hair dryer side, due to the small interference
points, and for the simple fact that the resin was
warping due to the High temperature.
Was a good project from the design point of view,
but poorly studied from the material side, probably
a heat resistent resin was needed.

Thanks for watching, stay tuned and sub for more
projects!
