## Steps
### Step 1: Download the file and adapt the parameters

The opener is designed to accommodate a 10 Swiss cent piece. 

Adjust the parameters to match your coin's dimensions carefully. Incorrect measurements may cause the mold to leak, as it will not close properly, leaving a gap (if the coin is too wide) or allowing material to cover the coin (if the coin is too thin).

Modify the necessary parameters for CNC milling.

### Step 2: CNC milling

Adjust the parameters for the CNC milling process. Consult a knowledgeable individual in your community or order the mold from a workshop.

Material: aluminum/steel

### Step 3: Feedback from our experience

### Mould Material and Usage

- **Material**: Aluminum  
  - *Longevity*: Used for 5 years, shows scratches but remains effective.
  - *Alternative*: Steel for extended durability.

### Plastic and Color Recommendations

- **Plastic**: Polypropylene
  - *Performance*: Optimal results.
  
- **Color Mixing**: 
  - *Preference*: Mixed colors, especially transparent.
  - *Popularity*: Black/white combinations are favored.

### Injection Process

- **Ease of Use**: Mould design allows straightforward injection.
- **Heating**: Rarely needed due to the mould's compact shape.
- **Key Consideration**: Ensure adequate pressure; insufficient pressure may cause plastic not to adhere properly at the base, resulting in an incomplete finish.
