An educational look at injection molding. Casting plays a critical role in our everyday lives, whether we realise or not. Works for all materials with a melting point of <2500c. Includes ready-made molds and a blank for cutting.

you should make a knife mold

guthrmad001: i tend towards using 'non-magic' materials, although i realise it'd make things a lot easier; the idea is to push the limits of what is possible with breakable materials. for example, if you set to high heat and fill the crucible with titanium, you can actually cast in titanium without melting the vessels. i just figure that's impressive

SentinelDuality: Have you thought of using another heating method other than a SPRK based heater? I assume you have given how well planed out the system is but thought I might mention it anyway.

guthrmad001: yeah, bothers me too. in early versions i had three heating elements on all sides but this eventually proved difficult to implement with the dual sensor system so i ended up just not doing it. if you prefer, you can always use HEAT, saves me a bit of circuitbending :]

It's good, but a little slow to heat. +1 from me regardless...

Dep: in the crucible :] just put some BRMT or something in there and turn on the heat

SentinelDuality, where is the meltable material supposed to go?

how do you make it work

docRoboRobert: thanks! i'm not sure i quite understand your reasoning though, could you elaborate?
