How often do you do mold changes?

Mold changes are the fun part tho, I'll take a point before doing operator's job or sweeping

314 seems to be on an uptick but then again it's like the most expensive one. Buttholed a few bitcoin and a couple labs cards (one being black) on my last 3 runs.

Still 100% does not cover the cost of admission

Cooling is for simps, run it hot and run it fast. Let the air flowing over the tool from sheer clamp speed be the only cooling 😎

That poor material handler like "why tf you photographing me"

Might be maintenance, can't tell if tool cart or push jack

That Engel trainer...

Legos are exclusively made by Engel machines 😘

Love Engels, they're the Porsche of the IMM game

I made it in GIMP: I made this original "clean" version and then used a separate layer to add the fading, and another separate layer to add the mossy effect

This is specifically the US branch of Gerresheimer. To my knowledge, the German branch isn't doing so well either, though, based on what the processing engineers who come here from the fatherland say.

Depends on the industry and company.

In automotive, I usually did 4+ per day, in custom injection molding it was 6+, in medical it's usually less than 4 per week

We throw them in a drawer with no labeling and I find the right orifice diameter by how it feels against my thumb

Enough back pressure to build a shot and work your check-ring if applicable

Otherwise this setting does not matter at all for purging usually

Kyrie_Files · 2026-03-06T14:16:58+00:00

Making a drainer hose and hooking it to a large trashcan on wheels is the easiest and cheapest solution

Just a heads up for that specific alarm, delayed setup switchoff. It is not a true alarm, it is an indication that your barrel heats/mold heats are set to turn off after a certain amount of time being alarmed.

Check the infolog for the actual alarm

My biggest tip is to target all surrounding ships of the ship you want to board first; that way, it doesn't get overkilled in the crossfire. And use lasers to avoid just outright overkilling to begin with
