      This is amazing and I hope Craftsman reads this because it's literally his dream to not only do it himself, but to inspire others to do the same thing. He took something that was unreachable and unattainable for almost every one of us viewers and made it reachable and attainable for almost every one of his viewers... Genius.

    Now we just need a source for affordable molds. Molds are the bigger obstacle being that a mold usually runs about $100 by itself.
    To get consistent results with your current mold you need some way to measure the pressure you are applying with that handle.

    • @JasonP6339
      @JasonP6339 Před 2 lety +1

      Yea, but generally if you're going all the way into injection molding your goal is to make multiples of stuff and that requires a very strong high quality mold. If you were only making one or a couple of something you would be better off doing it by hand anyway.

    • @TheCrafsMan
      @TheCrafsMan  Před 2 lety +1

      Molds are DEFINITELY an expensive part. I didn't actually buy my first injection mold machine until I saw that it was possible to use metal mold frames and epoxy (and later, 3D printed inserts) to make your own injection molds. Once I saw that I wouldn't *HAVE* to have a mold CNC'd, I was sold. I'm glad to say I've since made my own molds and they've held up. (Siraya resin has become my go-to for this.) :)

    I ran a million-dollar 3D printer for a major oil company 6 or 7 years ago and had to learn Creo3 to open and prepare engineering models to print. The only problem was that the 3D prints had shrinkage, as all plastics do, so I went down a rabbit hole for months learning about designing 3D models with shrinkage accounting. Long story short, there's a ton of documentation on how to design for that, including creating wells and "bellies" to get your mold to shrink to the desired final shape. It's about how thick a part is, knowing how much shrink to expect in any given area, and then I remembered I'm an artist and not an engineer, so I passed the problem back to them.

    I don't think you'll have much trouble clamping it down or mounting the vice, after all the whole frame is t-slots! Put a nut in the slot and bolt stuff to it. Great video!

      Yessir, I think you're right! That's what I'm thinking (hoping) too! Really neat format, and my first time to "build" with it. I've only ever used stuff made from the extruded aluminum.

    That first mold where it was uneven, looked like a tastey caramel candy. Crafs man, if you ever make candies, I will definitely buy some! 🙏

    I wish he'd come out and do a visual seminar here in Vegas. It would sell out in a heartbeat!
