One thing i would like to do is convert this to a 3d printable mold where each half could slide into food sealer vacuum bags. I have had an idea to try where the back side of the molds are hollow so that you could backfill with a fine cement to give it strength. I need to figure out how to use onshape to make molds though.

you could make a positive 3D print model.
then, use it to make a negative mold, from where the actual positive models are made.

In onshape you can subtract or remove from a solid another solid without problem ( boolean operation if I recall correctly )
 
Yes i think your right. I am guessing i could place two seperate blocks together, slide the model right into that area and subtract it. Im sure someone has some videos on it. I think there is even a mold making function somewhere
 
Been working on the internal rib structure for this project the last couple days. Getting close but not sure how much strength it will need. Planning to use a 4mm carbon tube that will run from tip to tip through all the ribs.
