+ +How to Use the Machine + +1. Activate the machine and fill the barrel with plastic. +2. For the initial injection, wait 25 minutes from the time the machine is activated and filled. +3. Position the mold over the jack surface and firmly press it against the nozzle. +4. Activate the motor to lower the piston, pushing the molten plastic into the mold until the belt slips on the pulley. +5. Deactivate the motor and maintain piston pressure for approximately 5 seconds. +6. Then, reverse the motor to move the piston upward. +7.

It’s an excellent low-tech method for creating larger, more intricate products. +## Steps +### Step 1: Consider pros and cons + +Before you begin, it is important to note that there are some drawbacks to using this method. Plaster molds are not durable, so this may not be suitable as a common method for processing plastic. + +However, it is an excellent way to create large, solid products and can be used as a prototyping technique. For instance, if you want to test the shape of a mold before it is milled into a block of aluminum. + +You will need: +- Extruder machine +- Shredded plastic +- Casting plaster +- Mold release +- A model or object to replicate +- Melamine or plywood +- Heat gun +- Paint, chopped fiberglass, shellac (optional) + + +![IMG_3710.jpg](./IMG_3710.jpg) + + +![IMG_3598.jpg](./IMG_3598.jpg) + +### Step 2: Make a model to replicate + +You will need a model or object to cast your plaster mold around. This could be anything, such as a model you made, a 3D print, or a toy. Consider how many parts your mold requires. Our product necessitated a two-part mold. + +In this instance, the desired shape was cut out of foam using a homemade hot wire and hand sanding. + +Pay close attention to the surface finish. Any small bumps or dents will be visible in the final product. If necessary, continue sanding, filling, and painting. + + +![IMG_3506.jpg](./IMG_3506.jpg) + + +![IMG_3587.jpg](./IMG_3587.jpg) + + +![IMG_3519.jpg](./IMG_3519.jpg) + +### Step 3: Make a box to cast your mould + +Construct a box around your model, ensuring everything is sealed and secure to prevent it from floating when pouring the plaster. Melamine is an effective material for the box, though plywood is also suitable. + +Consider using a mold release, such as petroleum jelly, to facilitate easier separation of the plaster mold. + +Incorporating reference pins can be useful for aligning the molds accurately in future stages. + + +![IMG_3594.jpg](./IMG_3594.jpg) + + +![IMG_3537.jpg](./IMG_3537.jpg) + + +![IMG_3529.jpg](./IMG_3529.jpg) + +### Step 4: Mix and pour the plaster + +Mix the casting plaster according to the manufacturer's specifications. In this instance, chopped fiberglass (fibreglass) is added to enhance the mold's durability. + +Pour the mixture into the box, generally aiming for a depth twice that of the model. + +Immediately after pouring, gently tap the box with a hammer for a few minutes to allow any air pockets to rise to the surface. + +Let the plaster cure for a couple of days before demolding. + + +![IMG_3541.jpg](./IMG_3541.jpg) + + +![IMG_3599.jpg](./IMG_3599.jpg) + +### Step 5: Air dry and seal + +Once you have both parts of your mold, it is advisable to let them air dry for a couple of days. You will notice when they are touch dry (and significantly lighter), indicating readiness to proceed. + +As an optional step, apply a layer of shellac on the plaster surfaces. Upon curing, you may then apply a mold release agent, such as silicone oil or petroleum jelly, to ensure that plastic does not adhere to your mold, allowing for repeated use. + + +![IMG_3599.jpg](./IMG_3599.jpg) + + +![IMG_3548.jpg](./IMG_3548.jpg) + + +![IMG_3654.jpg](./IMG_3654.jpg) + +### Step 6: Drill injection + relief holes + +Prepare the mold for your machine by clamping its parts together to ensure proper alignment. A large hole is required to connect to the extruder machine. + +Additional smaller holes are necessary in various locations to serve as indicators that the plastic has reached certain points, and they also help to prevent pressure build-up. + + +![IMG_3667 copy.jpg](./IMG_3667 copy.jpg) + + +![IMG_3677 copy.jpg](./IMG_3677 copy.jpg) + +### Step 7: Heat your mould + +Since this is a slow injection molding process, it is essential to ensure the inside of the mold remains consistently hot. This can be achieved in various ways; in this instance, large holes were drilled to circulate hot air through the mold from two heat guns. + + +![IMG_3666 copy.jpg](./IMG_3666 copy.jpg) + +### Step 8: Inject (using the extruder) + +Begin by heating your plaster mold. As it heats, activate your extruder and prepare the plastic. Once the mold is sufficiently heated, commence the injection process. The duration may vary, from several minutes to several hours, depending on the product's size. In this instance, it took approximately 2.5 hours to fill the mold. + +When the plastic reaches all reference points you've drilled, the product is fully injected. At this juncture, deactivate your heat guns and extruder. Ensure all holes are plugged to maintain pressure within the mold. + + +![IMG_3668 copy.jpg](./IMG_3668 copy.jpg) + +### Step 9: Demould + +You will need to allow sufficient time for everything to cool at room temperature. Due to the insulating properties of the plaster, this process can take up to 12 hours, depending on the dimensions of your product. + +Carefully remove your product from the mold, ensuring that the mold remains intact for future use. + + +![IMG_3706 copy.jpg](./IMG_3706 copy.jpg) + +### Step 10: Post processing + +If the process is executed correctly, only minimal post-processing should be necessary. This entails cutting off the injection point and the relief channels. + +Additionally, you may tidy up the part line. It is advisable to do this with a knife. + + +![IMG_3697.jpg](./IMG_3697.jpg) + + +![stool-detail.jpg](./stool-detail.jpg) + +### Step 11: That's it! + +This technique, though somewhat time-consuming, offers a straightforward approach to mold-making. It is not a substitute for machined molds but serves well in prototyping larger and more organic shapes. Here is the final product: a stool crafted from old polypropylene chairs, showcasing the vast potential of this method. + +An aspect to consider is the contrast between the plastics used in the extruder. In this example, the color choices were similar, resulting in minimal contrast. This element can be adjusted to achieve the desired appearance. + + +![michael-makes-stool-1.jpg](./michael-makes-stool-1.jpg) + + +![michael-makes-stool-2.jpg](./michael-makes-stool-2.jpg) diff --git a/howtos/make-plaster-moulds-for-large-products/air-dry-and-seal.md b/howtos/make-plaster-moulds-for-large-products/air-dry-and-seal.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..da3159473 --- /dev/null +++ b/howtos/make-plaster-moulds-for-large-products/air-dry-and-seal.md @@ -0,0 +1,18 @@ +--- +title: Air dry and seal +slug: air-dry-and-seal +step: 5 +howto: make-plaster-moulds-for-large-products +tags: ["product","injection","extrusion","mould"] +category: Moulds +difficulty: Medium +time: < 1 week +location: +--- +# Step 5: Air dry and seal +Once you have both parts of your mold, it is advisable to let them air dry for a couple of days.

For instance, if you want to test the shape of a mold before it is milled into a block of aluminum.\n\nYou will need:\n- Extruder machine\n- Shredded plastic\n- Casting plaster\n- Mold release\n- A model or object to replicate\n- Melamine or plywood\n- Heat gun\n- Paint, chopped fiberglass, shellac (optional)\n\nYou will need a model or object to cast your plaster mold around. This could be anything, such as a model you made, a 3D print, or a toy. Consider how many parts your mold requires.

Any small bumps or dents will be visible in the final product. If necessary, continue sanding, filling, and painting.\n\nConstruct a box around your model, ensuring everything is sealed and secure to prevent it from floating when pouring the plaster. Melamine is an effective material for the box, though plywood is also suitable.\n\nConsider using a mold release, such as petroleum jelly, to facilitate easier separation of the plaster mold.\n\nIncorporating reference pins can be useful for aligning the molds accurately in future stages.\n\nMix the casting plaster according to the manufacturer's specifications. In this instance, chopped fiberglass (fibreglass) is added to enhance the mold's durability.\n\nPour the mixture into the box, generally aiming for a depth twice that of the model.\n\nImmediately after pouring, gently tap the box with a hammer for a few minutes to allow any air pockets to rise to the surface.\n\nLet the plaster cure for a couple of days before demolding.\n\nOnce you have both parts of your mold, it is advisable to let them air dry for a couple of days. You will notice when they are touch dry (and significantly lighter), indicating readiness to proceed.\n\nAs an optional step, apply a layer of shellac on the plaster surfaces. Upon curing, you may then apply a mold release agent, such as silicone oil or petroleum jelly, to ensure that plastic does not adhere to your mold, allowing for repeated use.\n\nPrepare the mold for your machine by clamping its parts together to ensure proper alignment. A large hole is required to connect to the extruder machine.\n\nAdditional smaller holes are necessary in various locations to serve as indicators that the plastic has reached certain points, and they also help to prevent pressure build-up.\n\nSince this is a slow injection molding process, it is essential to ensure the inside of the mold remains consistently hot. This can be achieved in various ways; in this instance, large holes were drilled to circulate hot air through the mold from two heat guns.\n\nBegin by heating your plaster mold. As it heats, activate your extruder and prepare the plastic. Once the mold is sufficiently heated, commence the injection process. The duration may vary, from several minutes to several hours, depending on the product's size. In this instance, it took approximately 2.5 hours to fill the mold.\n\nWhen the plastic reaches all reference points you've drilled, the product is fully injected. At this juncture, deactivate your heat guns and extruder. Ensure all holes are plugged to maintain pressure within the mold.\n\nYou will need to allow sufficient time for everything to cool at room temperature.

This preparation will enable you to work with greater efficiency and precision.\n\nWith all the parts gathered, begin by cutting the steel pipe nipple (number 7) in half to create the mold nozzle. (Refer to drawings on page 3).\n\nObtain the steel disc (item no. 3) and create a central hole with a diameter suitable for a snug fit of one half of the steel pipe nipple (item no. 7). (Refer to drawings on page 4)\n\nTurn one face of the flange to create a 3-inch (7.62 cm) diameter guide to fit the mold body no. 1. (See drawings page 4)\n\nJoin weld number 3 and number 7. Subsequently, chamfer the welded edge using a lathe. (Refer to drawings on page 5)\n\nObtain disc number 4 and drill a 7.14 millimeter (9/32 inch) hole in the center. (Refer to drawings on page 6)\n\nDrill four holes at the edge of discs numbered 3 and 4, then cut the sides. Refer to drawings on pages 4 to 6.\n\nDrill four additional 3/16-inch (4.76 mm) holes in disc number 4. (Refer to drawings on page 6)\n\nTo achieve a curved, smooth, and glossy surface for the mold cavity, obtain parts no. 1-2 and the 3D files and bring them to a competent CNC lathe workshop. They will manage the various file formats, and any uncertainties can be clarified with the drawings. (Refer to drawings on pages 7-8-9)\n\nObtain part no. 5 and cut its corners tangent to a 3-inch (7.62 cm) circle, which is the diameter of part no. 2. (Refer to drawings on page 10)\n\nFrom a thin metal sheet, cut part no. 6 and trim its corners to prevent injuries. With four nails, hammer it in the center of no. 5. (See drawings pages 11-12)\n\nDrill a 3.2 mm (⅛\") hole in the center of parts no. 5 and 6. Insert a screw to create the thread in the wood. (See drawings pages 10-11-12)\n\nAnd you’re done!
