Hi Im a newbie into metal casting. And AI recommended this model to me for a better flow. These are my circumstances:

-I dont have that much experience doing this and Im still learning to be able to cast stuff at home
-I dont have any expensive equipment only at home stuff.

Im trying to cast this in beeswax or paraffin+glue sticks first in silicone then casting them in metal after I mold them in plaster. Lost wax method I believe is what its called. But again I dont have that much experience and any instructions from start to finish would be of great help. Ive tried these before but the metal casting always came out unfinished when I try casting it straight to a 1-part silicone mold. Im using Zamak 3 btw.

If yall are familiar this is a fusion wheel from the metal fight beyblade series. Im a hobbyist that would like to be able to produce these at home. Thanks!

Hi! I am absolutely knew to molding and casting. I am trying to melt and reshape my old Metal Fight Beyblades, if ya'll are familiar, Into new designs I did myself. But casting is proving to be a challenge, they always come out to have missing parts. I dont know where Im going wrong and what to do, as all I know about casting came from a collection of youtube videos. So any advise would really be great! by the way I am using High-temp Silicone as a mold.

First image is the pour hole/vent set up I used, second image is the object Im casting. and last are the casted metals with missing parts.

Is it a venting problem maybe? What yall thoughts? Thanks!
