I'm am old guy who in the later stages taught himself machining and various other practical skills in woodworking etc - I have an interest/passion about all things industrial and related processes - Young man - do you have any idea how frikking talented you are - you start making RC vehicles and am now an expert die maker and injection moulder/operator - what the heck - you have an amazing future.
the most motivative comment i ve ever read
I am sure you've figured this out already, but I thought I'd mention it anyway. The reason that the track furthest from the sprue looked better on your second runt is the mold had been heated by the first run and now allowed the shot to flow better. A warm mold always works better than a cold one. Some molds are heated for this purpose, depending upon the material being injected. Those are my two cents worth of info. Hopefully of some use. Thank you for such a cool video! I am now considering doing this in my shop. Cheers!
I've learned more from this video than from the 100s of videos I have watched here on youtube on this topic. Thanks for posting this!
don't apologise for going deep into this it is VERY interesting what you have done!
You seem to know a lot for not being experienced with plastic injection molding. This was a great video, I watched all of it, full of information. You are a great teacher, very well explained, I understood everything and english is my second language. Greetings from Mexico.
Nice to see someone that talks your same language, I'm a field service engineer for a German injection Molding manufacturer been doing it for 25 years
Very interesting. I had no idea it was so involved. Thanks for taking the time to produce this video.
great job, I worked for years in the plastics industry and your machine and the impressive details, are of incredible manufacture congratulations
You planting great inspiration in peoples mind !!
The willingness to share hurdles as you go. on a high technical level !!
i work at a mold shop and we use ejector pins with caps on them, like bolts, you counter bore the ejector plate and then add another plate behind that to keep them from pulling out. just add a solid plate on the backside of your ejector plate and you should be good to go. hope that helps love the vid and ill look into buying one of these things to start a business of my own. very informative video thanks.
This is like top 10 of the best videos I have ever seen on CZcams. Good job
I think this video is very helpful to understand whole process of injection molding. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing with us this detailed video. We learned more about the injection machine. I must enjoy the video again later.
Dude, this is an awesome in depth look at injection!
Hi, I watched this all the way through and found it very informative. Excellent narrative
Nice Video Ryan, The way you modified the machine to get what you want out of it is really a super step. All the best for your future projects.
Wonderful work, you have covered a lot of stuff in detail. Really appreciable!! Thanks a lot...
Awesome, I'm impressed with the level of "home shop" manufacturing that's possible these days. Great work!
Awesome and enjoyable video. Thank you for sharing, and looking forward to seeing more of what you are doing with you injection molding machine.
Amazing video, very informative and definitely interesting to know how Injection molding works In and Out.
Man, this is intense! Super impressive for a home shop.
Pretty awesome. Not only can you machine stuff but you know a lot about electronics too. Great video.
You my friend are a complete geneous. Well done! I can't fathom everything you have accomplished here, it's quite amazing.
Great presentation, very informative, thank you for showing a great story.
Fascinating! You can make a second plate the same size as your ejector plate, use counter sunk fixings to secure it behind the ejector plate and it will keep your ejector pins in place as they cycle. You will need to use shorter ejector pins to account for thickness of the plate tho.
Great video, thanks for sharing!
On your flash this may be caused by mold deflection during injection if I could see your mold installation a bit better I could explain how to trouble shoot mold deflection during injection. Your a very bright young man and have went further then some individuals with 30 years under their belt. I'm an former injection molding processor in thin wall injection molding and I'd be willing to help you out any time. Keep up the good work.
Wow this is super impressive. Thank you for the super through video.
Thank you for showing all the little bits.
Great video mate! A lot of awesome insights and information, thanks a lot for sharing!
Excellent video. Making a plastic injection part from CAD to final part. Thank you.
I'm a rookie manufacturer. I've sorta been forced to do my own injection molding. This video was very helpful. Thanks!
Same here. Seen this video a few times. Trying to get myself taught in injection molding. Also like his DIY mill.
Awesome job! Keep posting more details of the project.
Nice Machine. Good Walkthrough. I hope to see more of your molding machine.
this is a great video with a great explanation. loved it! thanks for sharing it.
Thanks so much bro!! Please make more informative vids like this one!! Much respect
Great Video with very good explanation. Thanks for sharing.
your machine and knowledge of the operation very,very, good thanks for sharring
That was an awesome video! Not an easy feat to learn so that makes it all that much more impressive!
Nice introduction from design to mold design, milling and injection. you done great to make such mold the slider for the holes in this setup.
If a press fit hole is too loose, it can be tightened by using a large ball bearing. Place a large ball bearing, (1/2" diameter or so), center it on the hole and give it a whack with a hammer. This will evenly compress the metal around the hole re-tightening the press fit. Loctite also makes a press fit adhesive.
Also, use a hardened steel backer plate behind your ejector pins and use ejector pins with a shoulder so that they can be inserted from the back of the plate in a slip fit hole. The pins can then easily be replaced and the hardened steel plate prevents any wear. This type of ejector pin can be bought from various suppliers like McMaster-Carr.
Thank you for your video, i am watching it, it's super clear.
Excellent video! Thanks for sharing this :)
I can't believe i finished the video. That is super cool. keep it coming.
Excellent video, thank you for all the insight on this!
Extremely talented & intelligent! Keep up the great work! Very inspiring
Great machine and great walkthrough, thanks a lot.
Thanks you for making this detailed video!!
Great presentation with brilliant explanation. Thanks👍
great video. very informative and very detailed. And you have a great speaking voice. Thank you for your video.
Thanks a lot. I learned a lot about mold, miling and injection.
Legit so cool! Thank you for sharing such an in depth video.
mate I'm reading through these comments and it's honestly painful. I don't know what's going on with these people, but I congratulate you on this. I haven't done it so to me it's also very inspiring.
I don't know whether you have a lathe (I'd assume so if you have a CNC), but if you do maybe consider going hydraulic, you could make most of the pistons and whatnot yourself and just use smaller pistons actuated by screws instead of a pump. So essentially you could make an entire machine yourself. Hell that's what I plan on doing in a distant future. You could also add some water cooling to the molds to make the process quicker perhaps. Also you could lap the surface of the molds, that way you'd completely eliminate flashing provided you had enough support (not worth much if the mold just bends). Then compound that with a release valve on the plastic side of things so nothing blows up.
Just some ideas, again I've never done this but I do wish to and do give it some thought every once in a while.
Thank you for the video, and thank you for going so in-depth! Anyone leaving non-constructive comments is not worth listening to, especially in topics like these and people like you who put so much effort in.
spiral point tap is what you used, if you are doing blind holes use a spiral flute which ejects the chips up and out of a hole that does not go through the material. brilliant work and problem solving.
Very cool!!! I'm interested in doing something like this myself.... Thanks for sharing. Great explanations too!!!
Very helpful. Love the long format. For example, I wasn't very interested in the mold machining part so I just skipped over it. Might come back to it if I need to, so it's good to have it all in one place. You could add timestamps to the description where the various phases begin, but that's not important.
If you need help getting these plastic or metal parts made, this guy can help:

Hope this helps
The world needs more people like you.
This is really good video. Very well explained
Thanks man, it's a great video. Thanks for sharing you knowledge
I do have an interest in manufacturing plastic models from digital sculpts. This helps a great deal thanks!
If you don’t mind, I think I can provide you with the latest video, if you need it anytime, can you? please tell me. Thank you.
I really want to go down the same road of making my own molds... was really frustrated and had no plan whatsoever. At the moment I get my parts manufactured but this is way to expensive for me so thank you man for this awesome video.
That's fascinating. Thanks for sharing!
THANK YOU MAN.KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
Wow amazing video. I absolutely loved it. Ideal saturday night viewing, at least imo ;-)
Awesome, detailed information, thank you
Amazing work, great job 👍
it is so helpfull to understand. thousend thanks to you. good work!
Very nice!! I see this everyday in my factory~
Brilliant work man.
Thanks for sharing man. very awesome of you. Wish you the best brotha
That's a beautiful setup
Really interesting. Thanks for showing.
Good video, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for share your work.Great job!!
wow ... that awesome. First time seeing something like this.
Great job on this video.
Pretty brilliant dood
This is amazing man great job
Great video , good explanation thanks
thanks to much. very complete how is made tutorial to understand complexity of your machine. thanks to share your experience.
for machine design what software did you use?
This video is comprehensive to the Digg Injection Molding Machine from us :-)👍
huh? what do you mean?
Thanks, very nice explanation!
Super interesting video. My mind is kinda blown by how much time and effort you've put into this.
neotoy Yea I put so much into this cause I want to make TONS of fifferent tracks, Im working on my Spyker KAT trzck mold right now
Try a star/spider array instead of linear. Arrange parts around sprue at compass points (N,E,S,W).
Injection molding works best when mold is balanced - 2,4,8,16... parts per runner.
I've been out of the game for a while, but your vid is comprehensive enough to trip a memory dump.
Good work and good luck!
Really Good!!!! Thank´s for the video
amazing video, really great
Very nice material for easy understanding what is Micro Injection and how it run, althoug it's not perfect as you have already said that you are studying also. It's okay , great~ wow I would like sharing our molding workshop ASAP, our company also doing INJECTION MACHINE and METAL STAMPING ect ,but we are now tring to add more micro way, it's a very good material that I know what's the differ as our normal injection mould now.Thanks any way.
This kids a freaking genius!
its an amazing piece of engenerin
On your pins you can add a Teflon coating to reduce the amount of pressure needed to pull them out of the tool.
no water water on mould? a simple water channel in u shape through the tool bothsides set at 80 degc for delrin/acetal/P.a will make a much stronger part. this is because delrin is a crystalline material.
Nice set up. ive been a moulding tech for 27 years.your the first person ive seen make there own IMM.
Keep going.
amazing video ,so nice
Love it man.
nice video, and nice sound
You need to reduce the size of the gate to the single impression side to enable an even fill.
I need more friends like you man.
Probably this guy has no time for friends
Wow. Very interesting!
great video , i am a mold ,tool & die maker for over 30 years with plastic and aluminum parts . you need waterlines in the cover and ejector halfs or the mold will flash crazy as it heats up over 1/2 hour ,plus the mould will distort permanately after 200 hr .
John Pauels hi , do you own a shop for your services? I am looking to produce an invention ; however ; I am looking for production on demand meaning that I would create a website and for every paid order the manufacturer will recieve each order along with the payment instantly from my portal. I am in Panama Central America and have no plans to travel to the US anytime soon with the covid19 ; can you suggest a serious company that could be willing to do something like this ? In china its common but would rather do this in the US thanks !
Hi John, exactly, he needs waterlines inside of tool to cool down the tool and plastic part, if the part has flash crazy, then the tool needs to shut better and improve the injection settings such as increase injection pressure/speed etc.
@@ojoaereo241 hello ,yes i have my own shop ,youtube ,,,trinidad boring mill ,trinidad milling , trinidad lathe ,,etc , worldwide tooling working out of north america ,china and mexico
John Pauels great what is your email address? or contact info
@@ojoaereo241 jogopa123@hotmail.com
awesome and inspiring
I am former truck driver, and one of the jobs we did was haul for company that were plastic compounders. These folks added fiberglass, colour, mixed stuff, cut and bagged or put it in big totes, we would back into their docks and deliver it to all kinds of injection moulders. To kick something out of a mould, the easiest way is run 2 small bars, mounted permanently to back of the mould. When the mould is closed, these bars sit just bit behind the moulded product and when the mould opens, these rods kick the product out
Gaylord's?
Wow! I was under the impression you needed a giant one to make anything larger than fishing lure.
that is cool ideas. One thing i thought of, you may like to implement is an if statement to your arduino, if the ir beam hasnt been broken for x amount of time, signal a sound to alert you to unblock the machine ;). very awesome by the way
