Hobby Injection Molding The Machine

So. This seems like the culmination of a maker’s hobby. Getting a machine to produce high quality and strong parts quickly is a dream for anyone who makes products.

Well, that definitely is the dream, but I cannot afford a $25,000 machine. BUT, I can afford over time to get a $600 machine. It is sort of janky and unprecise, but it is very much usable for what I want to do.

I discovered this sort of machine by Buster Beagle. Here is the model I chose to build.

My version is pretty much identical, and i works fairly well. I do need to continue to modify it to be more precise, but it is nice.
