A guy at work set about making me a mould using a 3D Printer .. I tested it Saturday morning knowing i would have issues getting the silicone from the mould as i had no way of releasing it as it was made solid .. He is now on with Prototype 2 so that i can remove the sides to release the silicone .. But i did manage to get this one out though .. :wink:

Nice Jim. I was thinking about moulds over the weekend, something I'm going to have to source/learn about in the coming months.
