Injection molding
steamer
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 here:

--Will try to do better close-ups with more contrasty background
later today.

OK. Good save. <g>
YOU might be interested in this little jobber, although you don't et

From long experience myself, I can only say, "You betcha."

--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.
