## Steps
|
|
### Step 1: Get your materials and prepare the work:
|
|
|
|
Ensure all materials are prepared. Review the drawings and steps to understand the process fully. This will enhance efficiency and accuracy.

|
|
|
|
### Step 2: Cut the nozzle nipple:
|
|
|
|
### Instructions for Makers
|
|
|
|
Begin by cutting the steel pipe nipple (part no. 7) in half to create the mold nozzle. (Refer to Drawings, page 3).
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### Step 3: Make the nozzle flange:
|
|
|
|
Retrieve the steel disc (no. 3) and bore a central hole to snugly fit one half of the steel pipe nipple (part no. 7). Refer to drawings on page 4.

|
|
|
|
### Step 4: Turn the nozzle guide
|
|
|
|
Machine one side of the flange to a 3-inch (7.62 cm) diameter to fit mold body no. 1. (Refer to drawings on page 4)

|
|
|
|
### Step 5: Weld the nozzle
|
|
|
|
### Instructions for Fabrication
|
|
|
|
1. Weld components no. 3 and no. 7 together.
|
|
2. Chamfer the welded edge on the lathe. (Refer to drawings on page 5)
|
|

|
|
|
|
### Step 6: Drill the base center hole
|
|
|
|
Obtain disc no. 4 and drill a 9/32-inch (7 mm) hole in the center. Refer to drawings on page 6.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### Step 7: Drill and cut the screw holes
|
|
|
|
Drill four holes along the edge of discs 3 and 4, then trim the sides. (See drawings pp. 4-6)

|
|
|
|
### Step 8: Drill the base fixing holes
|
|
|
|
Drill four additional 3/16-inch (4.76 mm) holes in disc number 4. (Refer to drawings on page 6)
|

|
|
|
|
### Step 9: Get your CNC turned parts
|
|
|
|
To achieve a curved, smooth, and polished mold cavity surface, provide parts no. 1-2 and the 3D files to a reputable CNC lathe workshop. They can manage various file formats, and the accompanying drawings (pages 7-9) will clarify any uncertainties.

|
|
|
|
### Step 10: Make the mold base
|
|
|
|
Take part no. 5 and trim its corners tangent to a 3-inch (7.6 cm) circle, matching the diameter of part no. 2. Refer to drawings on page 10.

### Step 11: Cut the metal sheet
|
|
|
|
### Instructions for Sheet Metal Cutting
|
|
|
|
1. **Cutting and Safety Prep:**
|
|
- Cut part no. 6 from a thin metal sheet.
|
|
- Trim the corners to avoid sharp edges.
|
|
|
|
2. **Assembly:**
|
|
- Center part no. 6 on part no. 5.
|
|
- Secure with four nails.
|
|
|
|
(Refer to drawings on pages 11-12 for guidance)

|
|
|
|
### Step 12: Drill the screw holder hole
|
|
|
|
Drill a ⅛" (3.175 mm) hole in the center of parts no. 5 and 6. Insert a screw to thread the wood. (Refer to drawings on pages 10-12)

<Image src={import('./image045.jpg')} alt="image045.jpg" />
|
|
|
|
### Step 13: Done!
|
|
|
|
Your Wall Peg mold is complete. Insert a new screw into the wooden mold base before each injection to prevent filling the hole with plastic. If it happens, simply drill it out.
|
|
|
|
To open the mold, remove the bolts, cut the plastic at the entrance, and separate the mold parts. Unscrew the peg from the wooden section to retrieve your peg.
|
|
|
|
Allow time for cooling due to the plug's volume and ensure the soft screw is positioned correctly to avoid tilting.
|
|
|
|
The mold accommodates all types of plastic and allows smooth injection.

### Step 14: Happy hanging :)
|
|
|
|
To install the peg on the wall, drill a hole and secure it with a wall plug.
