The last 7 parts cannot be cast using the jewelry process due to geometry that requires a very heavy custom flask and tons of investment. The weight of the finished piece makes it nearly impossible to manipulate fast enough to insert into a vacuum chamber and pour metal in 20 seconds, before shell-shock.

I am going back to shell casting after some advice from The Home Foundry forums, and I will post a video after the first failed experiments.
