Xylem fly press

I cast one of my first 3D prints and used it as a fly press die. I think it is too big and it obviously needs to be reversed so that the pressed plate reads correctly instead of the die.

To get an impression that reads correctly I cast one of my second 3D prints and use it to redo my fly pressing. The fly pressing worked except the impression came out shallow due to the die being smaller. I chased around the impression to make it more prominent. It was interesting to learn about different types of mould making other than just silicone moulds.
