Adam Savage took on a similar style of project trying to make an exploded cellphone cast in resin - with the added challenge of making the screen work. It was evidently a sponsored project and some of the work was rushed a bit - the outcome feels more like a prototype rather than the display quality piece he was going for - but the same kind of problem solving and techniques were involved.

Still, if you’re interested in more of the same sort of thing, worth a look:

Thank you! That video somehow slipped by my feed, but I'll make sure to check it out.

I'd imagine Adam getting a kick out of my resin project, but I don't think he hangs out on HN.

Agree he’d love it (and likely have some solid tips for how to get that glass-mirror finish…)

I mean, given sufficient resin to attract and then encase him...

Well, if Bartosz doesn't reach out (I offered to send it to him), I'll consider sending it to Adam. My favorite builds of his are boxes that reflect their contents, and I'd love to see what he'd consider for something like this.

Plot twist, OP is Adam Savage and is throwing us off the trail!
