While working from home over the course of last year, a few friends and I designed some Magical Mushrooms. Injection molding was not really an option for something this complex so I dove into resin casting and a process called vacuum casting. After inventing a mold box unlike I've ever seen before, a short run was started. Throughout that process, this video was filmed.
