This is a basic mold for casting the Owl Statue Facing Left in low melting point
metals like Rose's Metal (208F), Field's Metal (144F), etc. Make sure to use
an alloy that won't exceed ABS tolerances. I recommend high quality "natural"
ABS with no dyes/colorants. You can soak off the ABS using hardware store
grade Acetone. Give the metal plenty of time to cool as it can take hours to
reach room temperature.
I recommend printing the mold with ~6 perimeters, 30% infill and print slowly
