Description

Tire Pencil Cup Injection Molding Instructions

FDM Slicing Settings

  • Material: PETG/PC
  • Nozzle Diameter: 0.4 mm
  • Wall Thickness: 8 layers (≈3.2 mm, high compressive strength, resistant to multiple injections)
  • Top Layer Thickness: 3 mm
  • Bottom Layer Thickness: 2 mm
  • Infill Density: 25% (balance between strength and material saving)
  • Infill Pattern: Recommended Grid
  • Layer Height: 0.2 mm

Preparation Materials

  1. PVC stock solution
  2. PVC special color paste (yellow, milky white)
  3. Release agent (recommended: PTFE-based release agent; edible oil can also be used, but the release effect is not as good)
  4. Fast-drying PVC soft glue adhesive
  5. 3D printed mold
  6. SALTGATOR injection molding machine

Injection Molding Steps

  1. Evenly spray release agent (release oil) on the mold surface.
  2. Assemble the mold according to the exploded view.

  1. Add an appropriate amount of PVC stock solution and PVC special color paste into the injection machine, and start heating.
  2. After heating is completed, use the injection machine to inject material into the mold's injection port (push the plunger until it cannot be pushed further and hold for 3-5 seconds to remove larger bubbles).
  3. After injection, wait 6-8 minutes to allow the PVC soft gel to cool.
  4. Remove burrs and any excess softgel produced at the exhaust port and injection port.
