Today I made my first object with this injection molding machine! It's just a big blob of plastic but it's progress!
The clamp arrived and went on so easy! It stopped the leak from a huge hole in that pipe.
There are a few loose ends I need to tie up before I start making parts.
-I have some more programming to do to get the controller working smoothly.
-I need to install a pressure transducer on the injection unit to trigger the second phase of injection
(the old control used a timer but that doesn't seem like the best way to do it)
-Oil cooling controller
-One of the barrel heaters is giving me problems
-And of course! I NEED A MOLD!!! For this I will be building a knock off of a MUD quick change
I plan on making mine compatible with their 0809 size mold bases.
My first mold is going to be something awesome! Just wait and see!
