Frequently
Asked Questions
Can you make machines
for 110V operation?
Yes, and they are tested
here in the UK with our mains power converter before shipping.
Can you make me the injector
barrel only?
Yes, but it's where most
of the work is, so you may not save as much money as you hoped. The
barrel and funnel parts, drilled & tapped for M8 support rods
and an M6 thermocouple, is £350 plus P&P
Do you sell plans for
your injector?
No.
Is a vice included with
the injector?
No, but you can buy a cheap
one on the likes of EBay if you do not have one.
Why can't I just 3D print
things?
You can - for the most
part. 3D printing is great for very low volumes and prototyping but
it's slow. Iinjecting is thousands of times faster, more flexible
and parts tend to be stronger.
What is the maximum mould
height?
About 15cm. If you need
more height a custom modification can be made.
Can you make a machine
with a larger capacity?
Yes. However, this machine
is based around an off-the-shelf drill press. The "throw"
of this machine is 60mm. The only way to increase capacity it to make
the barrel wider. This lowers the injection pressure available through
the handle. It is not safe to compensate by fitting a handle extender,
because the frame contains plastic parts which might at some point
break from the increased forces. If you are planning to make "short
round" parts, then a lower injection pressure will not be a problem.
If you plan to make "tall thin" parts, then it may be. I
cannot guarantee injection pressures nor frame durability in these
circumstances. The risk would need to be yours.
What about adjusting
the machine's height?
The bottom of the injector
barrel is approximately 15cm from the base plate. This cannot be increased
in the standard configuration but custom machines can be made. You
can effectively make this height smaller by raising your mold clamp
on a pedestal of your own devising. A second, excellent option, is
to bolt your base plate to the bench and drill a hole in it, allowing
the column to drop through it to the height you require. You can lock
it off using the tightening bolt.
A final option is to cut the bottom of the column down to the length
required, but obviously, this is permanent.
What about a warranty?
The machine is sold as
new, and comes with a one year guarantee, as long as the machine is
used as intended, and in "hobbyist" mode. You should not
see problems, but if they do arise, I'll provide replacement parts
and assistance as needed. I am assuming you're "handy" and
can use simple tools. Please don't purchase if you're not.
How is payment made?
Electronic banking (BACS
transfer) is the easiest way.
Other methods can be used, but the buyer must pay for all costs (e.g.
Paypal commission).
50% payment on commissioning secures the machine and allows me to
purchase the parts.
The balance is payable just before dispatch. P&P is charged at
cost and is location-dependent.
The package weighs 6.5Kg. Mainland
USA costs £113, for example.
