Turn on the machine and fill the barrel with plastic.\n2. For the first injection, wait 25 minutes since the machine was turned on and filled.\n3. Place the mould over the jack surface and press it against the nozzle tightly.\n4. Turn on the motor to move down the piston, pushing the molten plastic inside the mold until the belt starts slipping in the pulley.\n5. Turn off the motor and wait around 5 seconds maintaining the piston pressure.\n6. Then turn the motor backwards to move the piston up\n7. For continuous injections refill the barrel before removing the mold from the nozzle\n8. Remove the mold by lowering the jack \n9. Open the mold and take out the injected part\n10. Close the mold and repeat the process from step 3\n\nRecommendations\nFor this machine, you will need molds that have a connical nozzle connection or create an adapter to fit with you mold nozzle. This machine can create a lot of pressure so you will be able to inject products with very thin walls." _animationKey: "uniquerpgzq" images: - size: 81647 type: "image/jpeg" updated: "2023-04-20T16:23:19.906Z" timeCreated: "2023-04-20T16:23:19.906Z" contentType: "image/jpeg" fullPath: "uploads/howtos/0jahBYgJtpDadwhU58lf/WhatsApp Image 2023-04-14 at 9.05.51 AM-1879f335ab6.jpeg" name: "WhatsApp Image 2023-04-14 at 9.05.51 AM-1879f335ab6.jpeg" downloadUrl: "https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Fhowtos%2F0jahBYgJtpDadwhU58lf%2FWhatsApp%20Image%202023-04-14%20at%209.05.51%20AM-1879f335ab6.jpeg?alt=media&token=021b7cd3-2679-49bf-81da-669480b545bb" - text: "So this is how you make a Motor Injection Machine!\n\nIf you cannot replicate the machine or simply want to buy some of the other machines or moulds I create, make sure to visit my Bazar shop 🤑 !\n\nhttps://bazar.preciousplastic.com/machines/injection/injection-fully-built/motor-injection-machine/" images: - downloadUrl: "https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Fhowtos%2FBUtuBo6lqjVIKmby3jrh%2FScreenshot%202023-04-19%20at%2010.20.30-1879a1a7e0e.png?alt=media&token=dff80485-61c4-4175-b6db-f837d97b414f" contentType: "image/png" timeCreated: "2023-04-19T15:26:51.416Z" type: "image/png" fullPath: "uploads/howtos/BUtuBo6lqjVIKmby3jrh/Screenshot 2023-04-19 at 10.20.30-1879a1a7e0e.png" updated: "2023-04-19T15:26:51.416Z" size: 68691 name: "Screenshot 2023-04-19 at 10.20.30-1879a1a7e0e.png" _animationKey: "unique2gnw9l" title: "Buy on the Bazar" cover_image: updated: "2023-04-19T15:34:52.518Z" size: 60074 type: "image/jpeg" downloadUrl: "https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Fhowtos%2F0jahBYgJtpDadwhU58lf%2FIMG_5422-1879a27155c.jpg?alt=media&token=64128d5e-1b74-44fd-8f6a-8893249b6efc" contentType: "image/jpeg" name: "IMG_5422-1879a27155c.jpg" fullPath: "uploads/howtos/0jahBYgJtpDadwhU58lf/IMG_5422-1879a27155c.jpg" timeCreated: "2023-04-19T15:34:52.518Z" files: [] time: "3-4 weeks" _createdBy: "el-tornillo-taller" category: _modified: "2022-05-09T21:18:09.659Z" _created: "2022-05-09T21:18:09.659Z" _id: "bD7i9YjwOa4yTlLdYUnw" label: "Machines" _deleted: false user: _created: "2020-03-16T16:39:26.602Z" _modified: "2020-03-16T17:10:14.721Z" moderation: "accepted" location: lng: -74.0762 lat: 4.598 detail: heroImageUrl: "https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Fv3_users%2Fel-tornillo-taller%2FIMG_2802.JPG?alt=media&token=277ce03c-dfd1-4353-b482-4e82c90d1ceb" profilePicUrl: "https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/avatars%2Fel-tornillo-taller.jpg?alt=media" lastActive: "2020-03-16T16:39:25.941Z" name: "el-tornillo-taller" profileUrl: "https://community.preciousplastic.com/u/el-tornillo-taller" shortDescription: "Injection workshop in Bogotá" type: "workspace" _deleted: false _id: "el-tornillo-taller" subType: "injection" images: []
