Ah, YouTube, purveyor of all that is, well, let’s just say all things video. One short film on the Google unit features Injekto, a device said to be a desktop injection press.
A few clicks sends the curious to the website of Action Box, and a quick perusal of its online presence leads to a description of the machine. But alas, the Mark 1 version is only a prototype, according to the webpage. “We are working on developing an enhanced second version of this DIY desktop injection moulding machine and can’t wait to share it with all of you!”
The initial version has shown promise, the website said, “We tested it using moulds created on our DIY CNC machine and it worked perfectly.”
Wait, they have a homemade CNC machine too?
