The file '12 Pt Type-caster Mould 3D Printer Model' is (makerbot,skp,stl,thing,blend) file type, size is 1.3MB.
This piece is one half of a French style type mould. I suspect it might be possible to Print two of these cold cast them in a heat resistant ceramic, and use this for casting a 12 pt font of type. Image taken from:
Also thanks for the feedback, I was informed that the mouth piece does not properly overlap the Mould carriage as seen in illustration, so I would suggest everyone wait before pouring molten metal into this thing. Its still a work in progress
