Scubapro MK10 SPEC Boot Molds - Free if you'll use them!

[Wiznutaggie]

I have acquired Couv's collection of stuff that he left behind and amongst it were two molds for casting Mk10 SPEC boots. One 3d printed and one machined mold. You'll need a vacuum chamber to cast them without voids (which I don't have - if I did, I would keep them and cast myself). If you're interested in them and are willing to give me a hand full of boots in return, you can have the molds for free.

Congratulations on the acquisition, having things from couv is an honor, it must be fantastic to see the inventions and projects of a regulator DIY master

Ah, I built the aluminium mold a couple of years ago and sent it to Couv as a gift.
Happy to see that it ended in good hands!
I had sent to Couv also a special black liquid rubber which fills perfectly the mold without bubbles. So no need of a vacuum chamber...
I do not know if you also got it...
If not, here is it: sintagom gomma liquida per modellismo

Here the drawing of the aluminium mold which I gave to the workshop technician for building it. Measurements are in mm, of course...

That is an understatement! The adjustable micro vacuum he made for measuring cracking effort has been a particularly cool tool that I've enjoyed.

Post some photos when you can, it would be fantastic to see their stuff. Greetings

This thread shows how these molds were born...
It was Covid lockdown time, so I had a lot of spare time...

SPEC Boots for MK10 and MK15 primary regs

I'm finishing up a huge project that has to do with mask cleaning. All but done, AFAIC. Just a write-up is needed. Turning the guns onto another stalled project, SPEC boots. @raftingtigger sent me a GORGEOUS hard polymer form: Let's give this the attention that it deserves. So, Tigger is...

Ditto.
Anyone have a spare boot for it ?
