  * 3d print a part
  * Make a mold container (out of a plastic cup) and hot glue it to a support surface
  * Hot glue the part inside the container
  * Mix the two part resin in proper proportions
  * Pour it evenly and gently in the container to make the cast
  * Spray the mold with mold release
  * Mix iron powder with proper resin (ventilate, protect eyes and lungs) and add catalyst (dangerous)
  * Pour metal/resin mix gently and evenly in mold
  * When set, unmold
  * Tarnish and apply quick-rust
  * Tarnish again so the rust is only in the recessed details
