Hello everyone, I was so very lucky to get to meet Wayne Knight in person. I gave him one of my cryocans and he commented how awesome it was that I did all the work to reproduce it. It was a wonderful feeling to show my project to him and get a photo of me and him together with my cryocan. I...

Thank you for the comment. I actually thought about this and I knew that they just glued the cut off barbasol can to the bottom of the housing. This always seemed like a quick short cut to me and trying to reproduce that wasn't what I wanted to do. So I machined the aluminum base to have the...

I have said before that I am willing to do what it takes to show I am not a theif and that as I have said I had some health issues and things just didnt turn out as expected. This is the first time I did a project run like this and honestly it was a bigger job than I expected. So if anyone wants...

I understand your comments and have replied and addressed them as best as I can. I respect your opinion even if I dont agree with you. Im not a scammer or a theif. Several people posted that they recieved their orders. I explained why it took me longer and what happened. I can't change the past...

I had some time over the holidays so I decided to build up some more cryocans so they are ready to ship. If anyone is interested I have 19 that are ready to go. You can get it with or with the barbasol can. Just DM me.

Well I made some more progress this week. I got ordered some more polypropalene plastic pellets from Ebay to use. There are not many vendors that will sell injection molding plastics in low volumes. The best place I have found so far is on ebay. I was able to buy a ten pound bag of white and a...

Oh I forgot to post the best photo. I trimmed the flash off with a razor knife and tested the fit on the mating part. It actually fit very well. I think the latches need to be slightly longer for it to really fit, but all in all I count this as a success. I was able to design the mold, machine...

After about 10 parts the TPU material was out and the PP material was in. Sadly since they are both black it really isn't possible to tell by looking at the parts. But the PP ones are much more rigid. They also stuck to the other side of the mold. So that was an interesting difference. I...

Sprayed the mold with some mold release. Then I shot the first part in the mold and it only filled the mold about halfway. I was a bit worried but I removed the part and shot another part. To my surprise the second part came out pretty good. I guess it is a little like pancakes, the first one...

I had another productive couple of days. I finished up machining mold yesterday and today I shot it for the first time. I got a bit excited so I didnt take many pictures of the mold before I installed it. I machined a core to go into the mold. I left it a little big and then hand sanded it down...

Can't you buy the MPP shroud and the Exatra bubble strip from WannaWanga? I think those are already have a good sources. They also sell the T track which I mentioned wanting to do. So I can understand your suggestions. I think the Obi-Wan Grenade lightsaber part should be machined from aluminum...

I can work with just about anything. For 3d models .stp / .step or .iges are easy to use. For 2d models .svg or .dxf would be easy to use.

Molds can be made from many different materials. An aluminum mold typically will last between 3000 and 10,000 injections. But it really depends on the mold and the details needed. Steel molds last up to 100,000 injection depending on the mold design and the tolerances of the part needed. Since...

You are absolutely correct. I know where the ejector pins were on the original part and I am planning on adding those into the design later. So far we have used this small machine to make 2 parts and those released from the mold without the need for ejector pins. But this design is significantly...

I think CultTV Man is already working on a reproduction of the Sealab III model.
