Awesome video! For everyone whose curious looks like mk1 is about $200 with mk2 coming in at about $350-$400. Much cheaper. Might have to give this a try thanks for the awesome video!
Thank you so much CrafsMan for putting this together! I'm so excited and honored to see this machine in your shop and can't wait to see the cool new things you are going to make with it.
I've never minded watching the Injection molding episodes because they're always funny and fascinating, but _this_ is the first time I've actually thought it's approching something I could try myself.
Garrett Teuscher, you're a blessing to those that have difficulty hearing. Whether that's due to age, health problems, ear problems, or that they're just chomping on chips when they're watching the video.
@@TheCrafsMan I could honestly spend all day heaping praise on your efforts, its the depth and richness you bring to every area of production, all I can say is please keep it up (as long as you enjoy doing it) and I'm sure I speak for most in saying THANK YOU!
Fantastic! This is exciting. One day I'm going to get off my butt and make one of these. Thanks for pointing us in Ryan's direction. Also, I'm so glad to see that you earned your Spring Safety badge in Cub Scouts. No whapping Crafsman in the head. GO SCOUTS! That mold that Justin made you is sweeeeeeet! I like the alignment offset on the edges. Seal. : ) One more thing... at the end, your downward drift/fade/slow-motion fall really rocked my world and definitely made me 'lol' as the kids say. : ) Incredible work my friend!
I bet y'all notice tons of stuff about each other's videos that the rest of us probably don't even directly see a lot of the time. We can't tell you exactly what it is specifically, but we just know good videos when we see them.
@@JasonP6339 : Oh mannn, I know I do study their videos and often times I see something that I think "That was a lot of effort for just a second of screentime."
Another awesome video Crafsman. Not for people looking for a "plug and play" solution, but for those of us with a little engineering skill, this is pretty rad.
I'm 22, studying and working in mechanical engineering, and a company I really like that makes some injection molded parts for Volkswagens recently went out of business. I'd considered messaging them to see if they had any remaining stock, but I think I'll just start producing my own now lol. Redesign the part in CATIA, design the molds in my mold design class, and start making them. Maybe I'll branch into other parts in the future too.
I have enough hobbies ($ sinks) already, but the joy he shares makes me want one too. They could do worse than have TCM as an unofficial official spokesman/salesman.
Craftsman, you always have the best vids. Always teaching something new at the same time sharing your positive, fun vibe. Thanks for sharing all that you do!!
Injecting molding is starting to look like a possibility in my near future! Thank you for showing us. I like to turn on your videos while I do my own crafts, sometimes when I'm not feeling so inspired but want to get crafting. You really help me feel inspired again!
Great video CrafsMan -- this is a big help to your audience, AND sends some well-deserved love toward Buster Beagle. Love how you use your platform to support others.
Super excited that he made a video about this. Ryan aka Buster Beagle is a super nice and knowledgeable guy, and if you like building your own tools, it's a great kit
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.
😂😂😂 Love from Mississippi! I just found your channel! And I’m cracking up at your personality, I’m enjoying the videos and the wisdom you provide! Thank you Sir you just earned a new subscriber! 🔥🔥
I absolutely love your videos good sir. Even the ones I won't end up trying. Your way of sharing information is awesome! This actually reminds me of the precious plastics injection molding machine, but smaller.
We love you too. While I would love to have one of these, my talents are in other areas, but I still thoroughly enjoy every one of your videos. Hope you have an awesome day!
Crafsman you might find precious plastic interesting they've got open source injection moulding machines and plastic shredders so you could recycle your own food packaging.
Precious Plastic is a really cool group... We had a semi local materials space near me but unfortunately they had to fold with the pandemic. My goal is to make a few action figures out of plastic shopping bags and give them some pill bottle carbonite blocks to nap in.
5:50 this is actually really cool! If you can get this effect but with white and red, get it looking all muscly you could then get a nice clear coating over it and it'd be a really cool little figure! Also great video as always!
This is super interesting, if I ever have the space I'd be tempted to give this a go, the things that can be achieved with an injection molder are just so neat. Great video CrafsMan!
I made the MK I earlier this year and recently got parts for the MK II. I'm also coming from resin casting, and I'm hoping to have success 3d printing molds. The part about thickness and sink is a new concept for me. It may be too niche for your audience, but I'd love to find other design tips for successful injection molds.
I come from resin casting as well (along with metal casting and pigmented silicone). I put the Mk II together, but I've yet to dip my toe into fabricating molds for the injector. Even with motor upgrades to desktop CNC kits, I've yet to see really smooth mold finishes achieved in aluminum, and I'm dreading hours of hand finishing because the parts need to be precise fits. I also want to avoid striation and don't have access to a UV resin printer. Looks like lots of R&D ahead for me or just hiring it out. The most counter intuitive part for me has been remembering the 1.5 degree draft angle for part removal from the mold. PS the same frame supplier Ryan suggests offers ball bearing roller fittings as well as the T-bracket attachments that come with the Mk II frame kit, so I will likely be using the spare set of metric tubes from those drill press kits as center support / slide arms for a new vacuum former once I find a suitable heating element.
@@robertmartin2936 You're probably very aware of this, but UV printing is as affordable as building an MK I. The resin adds up over time but the precision is very worth it. I've made silicone molds with resin printing that achieved bonkers detail. Building an MK II now and resin molds will certainly be the first thing I try.
Uncle Ryan! :) Mannn, we were out there yesterday trying to settle on a "permanent" place for the new unit. Definitely have to juggle stuff around lately.
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.
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.
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.) :)
@@TheCrafsMan I saw your video about the 3D resin mold with the metal frame but in this video you say that your presses were not coming out consistent with a resin mold.
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.
I like to think when it's been a minute since Crafsman posts a video it's just cause he's busy making some action figures. The injection molders look awesome. I can't wait to see what you do with all of them. Keep on steady crafting, Crafsman. :)
It looks to me like you could probably build frame for the MKII with scrap wood that is still be plenty rigid, so you can save $100 right there. Also, the 25mm linear rail that Ryan used is a bit of an overkill. Some standard 25mm, cold-rolled, low carbon steel rod will work just fine, and cost a lot less. The hardening and precision grinding of a linear rail won't do anything to improve the final product.
@@MyCobaltTech You can order it from various places online, but if you live near any major city, there will be industrial metal supply places where you can get a few feet a lot cheaper. There might be a small cutting fee, but that will still be less than shipping. You might also see if there are any machine shops around that will sell you an offcut, although this is a bit long to be just scrap. Not everyone carries metric stock, though, so call around, first.
Nice, i made this about a year ago. The main issue I have is with finding molds. I have made a couple from 3d prints, but I'll i have is fdm and its a pain cleaning up the lines. Then making a silicone reverse mold, and then a resin cast mold is another headache. I have a small CNC, so I made some wood molds, which did okay. Sanding was a lot easier. I started looking at bulking up my cnc for aluminum, but after just looking at 1/2 -3/4 aluminum stock for the mold, made me pause for now
I do injection molding processing and setup for job so if you ever need help or anything, maybe I can help. I've never used one of these types of presses, but if you are able to inject the plastic quicker it will help fill the mold out better. Obviously it's going to be harder to pull the faster you go, but if it's doable then it will help.
Yeah, def gonna get one around the holidays for myself, this way I'll only need to print prototypes to have molds made instead of reprinting the same model over and over if it fails even a tiny bit.
OKAY CRAFSMAN! I already got me a 3D printer or 4. Once I find out how to make box molds (with that resin printer) of my Batman articulated action figure I am going to do this.

Hats off to the designers for repurposing off-the-shelf parts.
Next thing to do is find a way to preheat the mould in its clamp.
Maybe using a heat gun on the mold while you are injecting will allow the plastic more time to settle in the mold.

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.
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.
