So I built an injection molder based on the plans in Vincent R. ItвЂ™s a great way to make many copies of a part quickly, and what I like best is that itвЂ™s easy to reuse old plastic objects to make new ones. Plastic injection molding has been around since thermoplastics were invented. I considered making a 3D printer, but for the few plastic parts I envisioned needing, it wasnвЂ™t worth the time and money. Vacuum forming works well for making things out of thin sheets of plastic ( see вЂњ Kitchen Floor Vacuum Former,вЂќ Make: Volume 11). Some plastics can be cast by pouring a liquid resin with hardener into a mold ( see вЂњ DIY Rotocaster,вЂќ Make: Volume 41). Often just cutting raw material to the desired shape works best. There are a number of ways to make things out of plastic, each with its advantages and disadvantages. I wanted to make solid plastic parts for some of my amateur science experiments. In that case, why not make it? For me, a plastic injection molding machine fell into that category - and it turns out theyвЂ™re not hard to make. Sometimes thereвЂ™s a tool you want to buy, but you canвЂ™t justify the cost.
