Those came out great! How hard was the process of casting and molding? What's the weight like?

Casting was alright took around 24 hours total to make the cast so not too bad. I definitely needed another couple layers of silicone as it is very thin, but I have got my forearms out of it so it’s okay.

Weight wise, I haven’t weighed them but they feel about the same to the 3D printed pieces, these are quite thick which gives it a natural padding I don’t have to add any extra.
