That polymer is thicc! BTW i think the key to melting down and reforming your plastics is that there is not only a bottom form, but a top as well, matched (like stacked cups). Then put a spacer in between around the edges somewhere, and a weight on the top form. So you fill the hollow space between the two forms with plastic, then heat, it melts, top form compresses down and squishes the melted plastic around to fill the hollow space and top form continues to drop until the spacer forces it to stay off the bottom form by whatever thickness you ultimately want.

Have you heard of a manufacturing process called vacuum forming? It's where you take a sheet of plastic and heat it in a frame untill it starts to droop. You then suck this shape over a form and voila you have a shape! It's a lot faster and simpler than 3d printing (it's easier to make a plastic sheet,heater and vacuum than it is to make a consistent diameter filament and a 3d printer) maybe it's worth a shot since you were halfway there with the sheet over a cup in an oven method.

I liked it. at 66 I am trying to get my head around basic chemistry and finding it fascinating as I veer off in all kinds of directions, The more I just watch stuff the more I pick up terminology and it was intriguing to have my own mind wandering around on what can be made from polysacharides and could we start with sugar(s)? then for me to see the rough experiments and also the lab guys using their tools to do various processes. So I was excited to see you starting with milk & kimchi. So the lumps of stinky stuff is about the level of my own culinary experiments that usually don't work. At school I didn't grasp chemistry and I don't understand why, because I liked it in the early years, then we did the elemental table and I must have missed something because after that nothing made any sense any more - so I'm back and I'm mad and, of course, what I am trying to pick up has no logical sequence of development - other than my own curiousity... yet that kind of works, because you see some basic principles and start to wonder what comes next and that sort of drives the direction in which you start to pick up on more aspects. Along the way you get to see some crazy explosions, so I very much doubt if I would dare to try anything "at home". Why more chemists don't have eye patches and hooks for hands I don't know. One of the bioplastics I was utterly intrigued with was Rayon - because I kind of branched off at ammonia & amines then into wosisname's reagent (the blue stuff) (Schweizer's reagent) and realised we could make viscose from from plants and make fabric from that - and that I probably have some in my wardrobe. How mad is that? Now I want to know if I can make a solution that will dissolve wood and have a liquid chain saw. LoL. Now, of course, I am wandering about the place picking things up and going "what stuff is this made of then?" coz everything's chemistry, isn't it - even me. I love the idea of "How to Make Everything", because one of the books suggested to me in a survival mag was "Henley's book of formulas" which had hundreds of examples of how to make everything from boot polish to teeth whitener from long ago when science was more primitive.

for the plastic molding you should look into vacuum forming, i think there's a video on it with Adam Savage. basically you'd try to melt the plastic into a sheet, then mount that sheet in a frame above a box with the mold in it. this box gets depressurized (with a household vacuum) and you heat the plastic, so it becomes soft and gets pulled inward onto the mold, creating a sort of envelope above it. Might work better than your attempts at what is basically injection molding, but I dunno

You need injection molding to make something with a plastic, coat the molding try in petroleum jelly or even olive oil then melt the plastic, and at the same time either vibrate the liquid plastic or you can just keep it at a high temperature for a while while the bubbles escape. connect the mold together then force hot liquid plastic into the mold. You can use a metal injector. (Make sure you draw a solvent into the injector so you dont ruin it) Wait till it hardens and melt the injection lines off the finished project.

People have to start realizing that even with the long degradation duration, synthetic plastics are still better for the environment than paper. Paper requires much more resource to create. You have to chop down trees, plant paper trees (these trees destroy habitats for flora and fauna), transport the trees, process the wood, create the paper, etc. The ecological impacts of making paper are awful. You can only recycle paper so many times before it becomes a useless pulp. Plastics take very little resource to make and were created to save the trees. Styrofoam takes even less resource to make. You can reuse plastics many more times and upcycle them into benches, mats, furniture and etc. I hear enzymes have been discovered to degrade the plastics into carbon and other constituents. It's because they last a long time is why they make such a good choice. For instance, reuse plastic bags rather than paper or "reusable" bags. You have to go grocery shopping every day to even come close to making up for the environmental impact of most reusable bags. Stop listening to what the news outlets say and just do a little digging of your own. You will be surprised by your findings. I love the concept of bioplastics, using plant parts that would otherwise be thrown away to make useful things. Avocado pits can be used to make a plastic. Avo pits are typically tossed away anyways, so why not put then to good use. However I'm sure there are some drawbacks.
