Hi everyone!
This is another interesting twist on my 2-in-1 mould design. It is a hi resolution pokeball that makessmall silicone pokebouncyballs.It is a spin off from my Broom Buddy silicone broom handle mould & Apollo spacecraft in one.See that video here - https://youtu.be/x_w8o-u4QrI

Note! There are now two different moulds. One is an easy release, and the other is split along the natural seam of the ball (but creates undercuts) Choose a version and print it twice as each side is a clone. The mould pieces are a tight fit and will probably need sanding.
To make a Pokebouncyball, follow these steps:1 - Mix up a batch of proto-putty (silicone with food coloring as a curing agent and corn starch as a filler/anti-sticky....stuff) See Grant Thompson's video on how to make proto-putty here - https://youtu.be/7fwytA5r2Mw
2 - Roll proto-putty into a ball the size of the mould cavity. Place it in the mould, avoiding getting it between the mating surfaces.
3- Assemble the mould and fit the alignment ring and cap.
3 - Place a small ball of protoputty in the hole and locate and push the plunger all the way in. Do not block the vent hole. Excess putty should ooze out of the centre hole.
4 - wait 20-30 min and dissasemble. A flat screwdriver may be necessary.
