HHHHHMMMM I like. i reckon it keeps the plastic hot the whole time? Does it run off of an air compressor? How hard is it to clean for your next color?

mo i do not know how hard it is to clean the machine. And I do not know if it runs off a air compressor these are questions you need to ask Rick or I will when I get a chance. From what I gather because there is a gauge in in-line I would assume that there is some type of air but I am not 100% sure I'm assuming that the machine does come apart for easy cleaning. I cannot see Rick building something that was not able to clean the machine, but I think it is awesome and I do like it I probably will order one. 1 February ?

mo I asked Jacob the questions that you asked me this afternoon and here is his reply on what he said about those questions, you do need a small air compressor like a pancake type like Rick said about 40 or 50 bucks for one of these he usually drains the pot to clean it into a bowl and then you can use air to clean out the, but it seems like it would not be any problem that I can see so cleanup is very easy. It takes about 5 min. to do this if anybody else has any questions please let me know we will pass them on and get back to you

Looks good but it probably gonna cost a bunch of money to get one

$999

I talked to Rick and he said it holds a quart of plastic hand stirred and adjustable for any mold with a 3/16 to 3/4 in fill sprue. He has some serious mechanical skills. For the price you get alot in my opinion. The one in that video is mine(just need to pay him) but he want to show his Buddys first and then I will get it. Unless he has seperation anxiety. Looks like I will need more mold though.

Frank this is the decision I have to make also. If I have enough molds to shoot at one time I do, but I do not have a place to put all these plastics in it's very hard for me on orders because their ordering 20 you this color and 20 of another so you would be changing plastics quite often, but for making up per thousand to stockpile a certain plastics. This machine would be ideal. I would say 100, 500 1000 . The machine would be ideal for this . Yes Rick doesn't fantastic job in his knowledge of machinery is fantastic. I just wish I had the tools to work with is I definitely like to work with machinery. I've done this kind of thing all my life and were I used to work we've done a lot of machine type stuff. I hope that Rick will come out with a 2 color machine . I think for the price also you are getting a hell of a by.

the machine looks great to me for sure. I do not have enough molds or money for it though. Hope you guys get one if it is in your budget.

someday you will have more molds are me and Frank put together and also mo . I think you'll be the one that will have the future in your hands. I kinda like see you in the future and doing plastics commercially so I think this machine would come in handy for you I hope when you get out of school that you will get one probably if you were doing it for a business you would probably definitely get a huge injection machine as you probably know the molds for them are completely different and they are definitely big-time money almost typo molds I had a chance about 20 years ago to buy a injection machine with about 20 molds . This is the part that's going to kill you the machine and all the molds for 3000 we are talking about a commercial grade machine one that's capable of producing thousands of plastic baits a day but at that time I was not working. Didn't have any money saved up and nobody would lonely a penny now that I am situated I will never find a deal like that again . I believe this was a company in Seattle. This was going through a friend of mine it was in the tackle industry.
