Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Small Injection molding unit?

I've got an idea Dan. Want to try an experiment for me?

Try using that little plastic injection machine you built as a wax injector.
I just visited a MaxNC dealer's site who sells a desktop size $9000 plastic
injection machine. He tells me they use it for wax injection as well. If
your little machine will inject wax into those molds you made, we can
redesign it to make it stronger and better and be built by the hobbyist for
a lot less than $9000!
