Fans of Star Wars will like this tutorial. It’s to make a cast glass Hans Solo trapped in that stuff he gets trapped in…you know what I’m talking about. Anyway, this is from the web site Instructables and the tutorial is rather amusing and involves a 3D printer. That seems a bit complicated but one never knows…I know I do want one of those 3D printers for exactly this kind of project. There are many steps but when you get over to the mold making and casting part the info’s pretty good. I get the feeling this person may not really be a glass person, but it’s cool since this is a very amusing tutorial. Enjoy!!
