There is a video on youtube by a guy who goes by "myfordboy" amongst his videos he has a video of a similar process to cast a complex part, he 3d plastic filament prints the part, embeds it in casting plaster, melts the 3d printed plastic part out of the plaster which has now become a mold, and then casts into the mold using a regular sand casting process. It may not work for all parts as you obviously need the melted plastic to run out of the mold somewhere,

 
It looks good! Please post the rest of the build when you get to it!
