Injection molding machine build

[twistedtools]

Hi everyone, I recently came up on a few TONS of thermoplastic rubber and polymer pellets. I am attempting to build an injection molding machine using various scraps from the massive collection of junk i have available. To start, i have multiple choices for the heating elements including electric kettles, curling irons, and basic clothes irons. I plan to utilize steel pipes and flat steel plates along with a hydrolic jack and air compressor tips for this project. If anyone has some ideas, advice, or basic blueprints for this type of machine build, i would be ever so grateful. Thanks in advance, i look forward to hearing your inputs! Shelley aka TwistedTools

Have a look on AliExpress. You can get a cheap injection molding machine for like $1000. I would recommend just buying that, but if not have a look at what they've got and try to duplicate it.
