Best way to make a mold for glasses

So I'm still new with resin and mold making. One of the things I really want to do is make a a mold of my husband's glasses frames(each leg and then the middle frame). He breaks them constantly. Currently he gets a new pair and keeps them good for awhile then breaks them and glues them over and over until they are trash and I buy a new pair. Either that or I'd have to buy him 10pairs a year

I've been going over it in my head the last week or two trying to figure out the best way to design the mold. They are a weird shape. I was thinking of having a pour spot by the end, and also have it split in half to get it out. If thought about having the end by the ear be the only opening, but not sure if I'd be able to get the leg out when done. Will doing it either of these ways cause issue pouring where resin won't get all the way to the end and bubbles will get trapped? I don't have a pressure to remove bubbles. I really don't care about small bubbles, he isn't picky.

I just started with resin. I've been practicing with bought molds and just made my first mold yesterday. When I do the dice mold I'm getting bubbles like crazy. How do I get rid of them. I get a couple with other molds but the last set I tried was just ridiculous with bubbles

So I just realized that when you get the gold bucket $10 credit thing in farmland, it stays open for the three days that you are claiming the credit. During that time, you can still order stuff through that page. It gives you no minimum to order through the Temu warehouse while you are in the gold bucket page

So I've seen a few posts and it's happened to me. It seems like all new farmlands only get 60days to complete. You start with 30days and you get two 15day extensions. Which is just not enough time. So unless you're spending a bunch of money and doing it strategically, it's impossible to win. There's at least some free gift/credit perks, but that's the only reason to do farmland.
