    As an engineer seeing your approach to problem solving is so wonderful, I love how you really live the "it's only a bad mistake if we don't learn" life and are sharing this with the world. I've personally never worked with injection molding and really appreciate your insights on all of this.

    I used to work in a job shop that made molds for injection molding and some progressive dies for stamping etc. Dont take what I say as gospel these are just things I am thinking about when watching your video.
    Firstly, in theory yes you could just drill that hole deeper with a long enough drill, its in aluminum so it shouldnt be too hard. BUT, you need to be careful that you arent going to damage your threads at the top of the hole when trying to drill it deeper. The perks of having deep holes and stuff like that drilled on CNC machines and drill presses is the downward force needed to get a good chip when drilling is a lot easier to achieve with mechanical advantage vs just trying to throw your weight behind a hand drill. Doing it by hand with a drill will be a challenge. If you can send it back and have them correct their mess up I would strongly recommend that. They didnt make it to print and thats their correction to make.
    2. If you dont have one already, invest in a borescope, they are rather inexpensive and will pay for itself in a short period of time. When dealing with water lines or cooling lines you dont want to risk having any metal chips or debris flowing through your pumps. A quick look down each hole and where intersecting holes are will give you peace of mind that there isnt any metal chips hung up. When you have 2 holes drilled to intersect you will often times get left with a nasty burr that is not easy to get rid of when its several inches deep in a block of aluminum. A lazy machinist may not catch it or be too lazy to spend the time to try and remove the burr. If the burr is weak enough the water pressure could cause it to break off and then flow through your system potentially causing issues.
    3. If you find yourself having to take apart your dies often, instead of beating the piss out of it with a mallet or deadblow, you can get small inflatable air bags that can make spreading the die apart along the guide pins evenly a whole heck of a lot easier.

    • @reallunacy
      @reallunacy 9 дней назад

      I really like that air bag idea.
      Do you think a drill press would be a good enough solution to drilling? I totally agree that in theory, returning it to the manufacturer is the best solution, but in practice time is money friend and sometimes it's better to resolve today instead of waiting a few weeks.

    • @iimditton
      @iimditton 8 дней назад +2

      @@reallunacy realistically yes a drill press would be enough, but the challenge is having a drill long enough to even reach that far in the hole. Extra length drills are a thing but I imagine most people don’t just have them laying around. You are correct though, time is money. You’d just hope that if they missed the ball on drilling a simple hole deep enough then hopefully they didn’t mess up anywhere else along the way. If he drills it himself he’s just gotta worry about properly deburring it, which isn’t hard. Plus it appears he tests it by flushing it so that should remove any debris from the system before it hits production. The big thing if I were in his shoes is to take a long enough drill, drop it in the hole that does go all the way through and mark its depth of the shank of the drill. The drill should center/locate itself at the bottom of the hole on the one that isn’t drilled all the way through. If he’s only gotta go like a 1/4 to 1/2 then it’d be super easy to probably just do with a hand drill. Being aluminum you’d just want to use wd40 or something when drilling and to go slow on the speed cuz it’s a larger diameter hole. Larger being 3/8+

    Seeing your molds and water-cooling setup are using aluminum and brass, I'm very curious how you're machinery prevents galvanic corrosion. When I do PC case mods, I have to be very careful not to mix metals because of the anodic index difference, especially in aluminum and brass/copper. Most of the time, PC components you don't have to worry about it since purpose built things have more or less settled on brass/copper/nickel, but when building more exotic stuff, I would have to very carefully watch what components touch the water and each other.
    In my industry (distribution pipelines) you have to use cathodic protection and a sacrificial anode.

    Jesse, we learn from our mistakes. Next time you are water testing and you are looking for flow use compressed air. It is a lot less mess. If your fittings are cut with NPT threads they are tapered to create the seal, you are wise to be gentle with the brass and aluminum. The teflon tape is not used for sealing but for a lubricant for the threads. Next time just use a light down the drill holes to see. and yes you should of just drilled out the incomplete hole. also good call on being cautious on the inner core mold, I have no idea how the got those push lock fittings to thread and tighten without a very narrow walled socket. Great content as always

    For future reference, instead of sticking something long and skinny down the hole and using the light to see the object. You could just shine the light down it and see if the light comes through the other side.

    Does the inside of the water fittings accept an Allen socket? I’ve used hydraulic/pneumatic fitting before that can be driven on the ID and OD. Another option may be using a thin wall socket.

    • @ryanmacy650
      @ryanmacy650 10 дней назад +1

      ^^this! The Allen keys are for sure possible, get T-handles for this, it makes life way easier! If that's not it, it looks like a deep well socket should work. If a regular socket clears and engages it would likely mean a regular deep well would clear also.

    So, now you should be free to mix-n-match the upper and lower parts of individual disc moulds, I think. If they're the same diameter, of course.
    In just the same way that a TL is the top of a Teebird and the bottom of a Leopard. :)
    That's gotta be a cool thing, because you can quite literally create new discs using existing inserts.
    If you're very proud of the top half of a particular disc's mould, then you can use that insert to halve the machining cost of a new disc mould.

    • @Sobo272
      @Sobo272 9 дней назад +1

      Definitely a great question. I wouldn't think they are far enough apart in galvanic series for it to be a major issue. However that being said, if so, the mould would be the annode which is not good. Buying a couple aluminum pipe nipples to start with and transitioning from there may be a good call.

    Jesse, please wrap your Teflon tape the other direction.
    Idk if you have a consistent method down, or just kind of do it however since I only saw it in one clip. It's a little hard to explain best practice since CW/CCW depends on your point of reference. If you're holding the piece with the threads pointed away and it's a RH thread. You want to wrap CCW from your point of view. Imagine it getting caught on the thing you're wrapping it on, which way would it pull it?

    Do you run an 'Antifreeze' to prevent the cooling water from boiling or at least causing hotspots, and it would also help prevent corrosion of the alloy due to electrolysis due to the dissimilar metals in the mold, piping, pump etc?
    You could even go Eco Friendly there with something like ECO2 "a vegetable based antifreeze is based on sustainable refined vegetable extracts" oooo warm fuzzies...
    (I have no link to that product, Dr Stoopid (the interweb) was the pusher there)...
    q8D
    The cooling channels... You have the map.. the 2 main ducts should be deep enough to pass the cross duct (that is later plugged...
    There appears to be plenty of meat beyond the cross duct so drilling both main tubes another 10mm etc should be fine (I don't think the turbulence caused by a cavity if you drill beyond the cross tube will make any difference (the fact that the water hits a right angle is causing just as much.. and it's only water cooling, not lubrication etc.
    Sometimes cost rules the roost but I always try to make anything 'future expandable' when I can, especially if I need to change something that doesn't quite work.
    Oh and I'm sure you know but...
    PTFE...
    2-3 turns only.
    Put the tape on a thread the same direction you would wind a nut onto that thread. (More than 3 turns can expand the outside piece and crack it, and can be so thick that winding it in just pushes the PTFE into a lump ring on the face leaving no PTFE in the threads)...
    Winding it on in the direction of the nut (generally clockwise but when looking at thread from the side 'Clockwise' can b confusing) ensures the end last laid down lays away from the oncoming outside thread, otherwise it picks up on that thread and unwinds as you wind it in.
    (Maintenance engineer on (among other things) Pressure washers up to 10000PSI for 15 years...
    after IT for 20+...
    ok odd direction but I'm a jack of all trades, master of ... not even throwing plastic at trees!)

    • @Sobo272
      @Sobo272 9 дней назад +1

      Lots of good points, but water has better thermal conductivity and less viscosity than your typical antifreeze options like glycol. If you're boiling water in your loop your whole setup should probably be rethought a bit.

    • @TheButlerNZ
      @TheButlerNZ 9 дней назад +1

      @@Sobo272 Funny thing about water and alloy... Throw in a few other metals like brass fittings (as shown), stainless and zinc (most (but not all) pumps, and the slightest bit of mineral in the water... and you have a battery... and that battery EATS the alloy... (at a tiny rate)...
      The result is a white powder (Aluminium oxide).
      This then migrates through the circuit, and jamming things like those fittings etc.
      A good example is the consumer range of Nilfisk pumps with alloy pump heads and output tube.
      If you don't remove the HP hose and give the pump a quick second of run without any hose attached, the outlet corrodes onto the brass (or other) fitting on the hose and it jams.. also Nilfisk pumps have a nylon piston that when over pressured presses a microswitch to turn it off... the nylon piston jams from the oxide, the machine doesn't shut off when you let the trigger go... hilarity ensues.
      As viscosity is important in mold cooling... you could look at working on as pure water supply as possible...
      Also increasing turbulence...
      I wonder if rifling the cooling lines in the mold would be enough...

  • @derrickdigiulio4027
    @derrickdigiulio4027 10 дней назад

    you could try to use doubled up nuts to remove those water lines. Tighten the nuts against themselves, and try to brace the closer one while you unscrew the line from the further. You should be able to find videos about that technique online. However with your space constraints Im not entirely sure it would help.

    • @derrickdigiulio4027
      @derrickdigiulio4027 10 дней назад +1

  • @fanwlkr
    @fanwlkr 8 дней назад

    I definitely love trash in the same way. For those threads and fittings, I would recommend you talk to a mechanical engineer that can calculate you a range of torque specs that are suited for the application. Then you can just get a torque wrench to make sure you will get it tight enough without wearing out the parts over time. Maybe you can find tables online for like thread sizes and materials, however torque specs for aluminum threads might be a bit out there, and I would guess that it's the softest of the 2, however that is just my feeling not something I have checked

    • @fanwlkr
      @fanwlkr 8 дней назад

      Like as for just sending it with a long drillbit should be fine, still there are 2 factors to note. 1 there is no way of deburring down there, and aluminum get these razer sharp edges, not that you could ever stick you finger down there and get a papercut, however, if there is a burr after drilling the hole, it might fall off and damage the cooling system unless there is like a filter before the pump and radiator. You might be able to just get a filter to hook into the water line. 2 is super related, the size of the hole. Like I would generally just get a 1mm smaller drillbit, so I would not mess up the machined hole by just jamming on with a hand drill or even a drillpress. Like if the system is super sensitive, this might be a problem with like pressure and stuff. Still if you do, you can just get an accurate size drillbit to deburr. Like if you bring this to a good machine shop, they will probably spend an hour waving responsebilities and 2 minutes drilling, however then you can go down there an complain for 2 hours if they mess it up somehow ;)

  • @ChrisLitteljohn
    @ChrisLitteljohn 9 дней назад +2

    Hey, I want to mention of the quality difference in Teflon tapes. The white tape you are using is the cheapest and it is going to give you real headaches. You might want to consider using yellow or pink as it is going to keep you from wrenching down fittings too tightly and stressing out the aluminum threads. The yellow and pink tape are meant for oil and gas fittings, and are thicker and of much better quality material than the white which is full of holes and thin. Never buy the white stuff, even for simple plumbing. You can thank me later.
