## Steps
### Step 1: Download the file and adapt the parameters
The opener is designed to accommodate a 10 Swiss cent piece.
Adjust the parameters to match your coin's dimensions carefully. Incorrect measurements may cause the mold to leak, as it will not close properly, leaving a gap (if the coin is too wide) or allowing material to cover the coin (if the coin is too thin).
Modify the necessary parameters for CNC milling.

### Step 2: CNC milling
Adjust the parameters for the CNC milling process. Consult a knowledgeable individual in your community or order the mold from a workshop.
Material: aluminum/steel

### Step 3: Feedback from our experience
### Mould Material and Usage
- **Material**: Aluminum
- *Longevity*: Used for 5 years, shows scratches but remains effective.
- *Alternative*: Steel for extended durability.
### Plastic and Color Recommendations
- **Plastic**: Polypropylene
- *Performance*: Optimal results.
- **Color Mixing**:
- *Preference*: Mixed colors, especially transparent.
- *Popularity*: Black/white combinations are favored.
### Injection Process
- **Ease of Use**: Mould design allows straightforward injection.
- **Heating**: Rarely needed due to the mould's compact shape.
- **Key Consideration**: Ensure adequate pressure; insufficient pressure may cause plastic not to adhere properly at the base, resulting in an incomplete finish.
