DIY Injection Molding with Resin Printed Mold

[@svsv9]

If I need my molding in steel or alloy with a high precision of um(micrometer) where can I order it but not cost a fortune?

[@ata3150]

Hi there, would you share me about the dimension of heat chamber that you made yourself? (Not the buster beagle one) thankyou in advance!

[@PlatingPulse23]

So dope !!. I need to try this

[@Resource.group_]

How to make machine?

[@spendymcspendy]

Awesome! Are you going to make the filament pelletizer available? Thank you!

[@jintat87]

Not yet. I’m thinking of it. It’s still in progress. I’m making another adapter for it to use motors instead of drill. Because drill is not designed to work in long duration. It will overheat

[@Arek_R.]

@@jintat87 No no leave the drill, it's a good idea, regarding the overheating you just need go slower or use stronger drill. Good drill can run for long time . Also a lot of people already have drills.

Where did you get the nozzle set? Thanks.

[@jintat87]

You can get it from the original designer in the link below: www.busterbeagle3d.com/product/injection-molding-machine-stainless-steel-parts/1

[@trioakyard5480]

@@jintat87 Thanks for the reply. But I meant the tip you picked from the package with 4 different styles and attached to the heat chamber (Buster Beagle 3D), not the heat chamber itself. I know the heat chamber is from the Buster Beagle 3D. 🙂

@@trioakyard5480 ah, that I bought from aliexpress: www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001456406442.html

[@jintat87]

@@trioakyard5480 but this nozzle is not compatible with buster beagle’s chamber. His nozzle type is different. The chamber i used in my video, I re-designed for this purpose.

[@trioakyard5480]

@@jintat87 I see. You made your own heating chamber. Was it stainless steel?

[@Logiser]

How did you build the injection machine?

[@jintat87]

There’s a link in the description to the original video tutorial

[@Arek_R.]

You need microscopic air vents around your molding area (usually on sharpest features). You also need to get hold of the aluminium shell (just like the one dude from busterbeagle3d has) for the resin mold to provide even distribution of force to avoid flashing.

[@RTCDigitalS]

I've seen those shells seems impossible to find them in bigger sizes, What did you mean by sharpest features? Thanks!

[@nepotycznysuperbohater9140]

Good job. Im building a machine on the same principle. What diameters do you have a nozzle hole ?

[@jintat87]

Im using 4mm nozzle

[@nepotycznysuperbohater9140]

​@@jintat87 Thanks. I have one question. What are the most frequently use? I have plenty of PVC granules, but I can not do anything sensible. There is probably a calcium-zinc stabilizer. And so hard to get and dispense in such an amateur device. I will depend on the material for eg handles, enclosures, etc. Have a nice day.

[@jintat87]

@@nepotycznysuperbohater9140 This build is MK1. For your case I suggest you to proceed with MK3 version. Check out the link below. If MK3 is too much, you can go to his channel and check out MK2 which is bigger version of MK1 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqe0hmaHbdyqhbc

[@thewolfofswingthat2035]

broooo!! where did you get mini plastic injection machine? i thought these machines are super big and super expensive??? edit : just saw the description ,its a BUSTER BEAGLE MKII INJECTION MOLDING MACHINE ? where did you buy that?

[@jintat87]

The one i did was MKl. He have a latest ver MKIII. He have his own website as well as etsy store if you’re outside US

[@КостянтинДзюба]

Did you tried to heat the mold before an injection? Is there any difference in a result?

[@jintat87]

After a few try, the mold is getting hot. And seems like the flow is getting better after that

[@nepotycznysuperbohater9140]

@@jintat87 A good way is the location of the mold on the slot in which we pour a filament. Through the heating of the chamber, a little also mold heated.

[@st-iw8je]

How we can get it

[@jintat87]

There’s a link to the tutorial of the original inventor where he teaches step by step how to build this

Me gustaría saber donde pudiera comprar una máquina inyectora como la de el final del video

[@jintat87]

The injection mold machine is DIY machine following a youtube tutorial. You can check out the link of the tutorial in the video description. The creator is selling the parts as well.

[@georgemoua]

Right on man.

[@Botmatrix]

I like that we have a lot of the same ideas! Likely inspired from Craftman as well :D I'm injection molding with resin molds too. I found that the top of the resin tends to crack a bunch when you put a hot nozzle on it. To compensate for this I used a tiny aluminum funnel from amazon to protect the resin. I also used silicon spray for mold release agent. I used the strongest resin I could find to make my mold but it still kept chipping. I feel like the mold needs a bit of flex to it. I think I'll try the resin you used and see how it works. Thanks for the video. Message me if you want to trade ideas!

[@jintat87]

I’m not quite sure if the seller ship outside of my country but you can try to chat with the seller to ask. Generally I see others using Siraya sculpt ultra without issue. I bought my resin cos I can’t find Siraya seller in my country. Have u tried that?

[@LukRider]

do you have a YT channel where your process is shown?

[@emperorhadrian6011]

Nice.

[@charlesk7623]

Nice, is that 210 celsius? What resin are you using for the mold?

[@jintat87]

Yes its 210 celsius. I'm using PP material. The temperature i'm following TheCrafsMan's video. Updated links in the description. At about 7:20. For the resin I'm using Fabbxible High Temp Mold specialized for mold printing. But I can only find this on my local online store. Link in the description as well

[@nepotycznysuperbohater9140]

If you live in the US or EU, you can use Siraya Gray. It's cheap and durable.
