It will not hold injection pressure, so skip that path for INJEKTO-style molding.\n\n For dice, minis, gears, and hinges that should not look printed, soft aluminum usually beats a resin mold. Printed cavities transfer layer lines, and life is short once temps climb.\n\n If you do not have CNC, have a small mold shop cut a simple A/B pair. Benchtop machines are",

You can use 3D printed but will have to stick to lower temps materials like PET and use higher temp materials for 3D prints. They do offer backers for reducing flex.\n\n Molding isn't as easy as 3D printing. I would look into mold design explenations on like youtube",

I have a wide variety of applications in mind and was wondering what mold materials work best. I see that it takes aluminum and 3D Printed molds, but are there other materials? I like the low-cost and ease of a 3D printed mold but I don't like the printed lines. I am intimidated by aluminum and do not have a CNC machine. Has anyone used this machine or something similar to make:\n\n-dice-miniatures [1:16 scale furniture, Warhammer figure accessories, diorama fillers]-ball joints-gears-hinges-tools\n\n-pieces to assemble larger objects[jointed toys, fidget toys, assembled figures]\n\nWhat types of molds can make sturdy, fine-detailed items that don't look 3D Printed? Is there any possibility of a firm silicone mold inside an aluminum mother mold for at-home injection molding?\n\nI am open to suggestions for other machines as well!",
