iPod_girl, to asklemmy in How are these smartphone back covers made?

I was thinking maybe a silicone mould for casting resin could do the trick. I don’t have access to a 3D printer and won’t anytime soon unfortunately.

I just imagined Steve Jobs as Eorlund Gray-Mane for whatever reason.

Well first of all, I’m just really curious. I always had a thing for learning how things are made and if I could remake them at home. Second, I guess I’d like to go with my own design, while staying in the bounds of the same style. Third, I’m still looking for what I am good at.

I found that foil transfer like stamping or printing is more likely to be the method they used. Screen print metallic ink is either too flaky or too shimmery, not reflective smooth.

Oh yeah, injection moulding is definitely well outside of my scope of capabilities and budget, haha. I’ll look into diy screen printing! Thanks for the help <3
