The end is in sight (975)

Well 974, I'm not using the original core design, I'll be using a more stable design.

I'll need to make a few more parts to make jigs but for the most part I'm moving on to putting it all together.

Mass production

Well I think I've finally gotten it all down, good clean molds, good parts and mass production. I can make about 150 at a time. I'd like to be able to make about 250 at a time to cover bad parts, still get one or two each run.

The heat is on

I thought I was having issues with the plastic. I've been using the Oomoo Onyx but the parts have been turning out really bad. Lots of bubbles and sticky parts, a real mess.

Turns out it's not the plastic, it's the temperature and the humidity. It's much easier in the summer time in NC to get good parts then in the winter time.

I've been outside mostly so early morning dew and dusk also make a difference.

New oomoo

I think I've finally gotten the molding down but I'm switching to the Oomoo 30. It takes a lot longer to set, 6 hours for the 30, 75 min for the 25, but it has far fewer air bubbles and a stiffer final mold.

4 Sale!

02/02/10 - I have a set of 19 pieces / Masters for $99.00 if anyone is interested.

Their not perfect but they don't need nearly as much work as the prefab printer version.

I use 19 because I use a 2" ball as the core.

Anyone interested, email me at sales at petaminx.net
