Of course since I am also my foundry I'd have to pay attention to the colour in the first place. I take it the "to be machined" surfaces can have the gates and runners attached while as-cast should be left as is? > > But, in an odd coincidence, my own rotary axis pattern turned out > green as that was the colour of the Renshape I had. > https://photos.app.goo.gl/UwnouPFGRSfwfwDTA Here I thought I was following a good role model and it turns out he wasn't following standards. Oh the tragedy of it all. I'm so disappointed. What will I do? Now I'll have to grab all the castings that are for the mill conversion and repaint them.
