Injection molding
--Well I finally finished the die I've been working on sporadically.
Trouble was I didn't have my injection molding machine dialled in yet but I reeeally wanted to see if the die produced a decent part. I could have used casting resin but that stuff's pretty brittle. In a moment of inspiration I thot why not use hot glue? I did and it works! Crummy photos he http://www.flickr.com/photos/steambo...7613636548203/ --Will try to do better close-ups with more contrasty background later today. -- "Steamboat Ed" Haas : Blue Cross socks us Hacking the Trailing Edge! : $23,000/yr!! ... www.nmpproducts.com ---Decks a-wash in a sea of words--- |

Injection molding
--Latest photos he
http://www.flickr.com/photos/steambo...7613636548203/ --See bottom 3 photos. Succeeded yesterday for first time making parts out of plastic rather than hot glue. Have a problem with flash but I think I can fix that today. The awful coloring is due to switch from Nylatron to Nylon 6; not sure how many parts I'll have to run B4 they come out lookin' good. -- "Steamboat Ed" Haas : Blue Cross socks us Hacking the Trailing Edge! : $23,000/yr!! ... www.nmpproducts.com ---Decks a-wash in a sea of words--- |
