My family and I are so grateful that I get to do this.
Where can you get that grinder from? I checked LNS' website and could not find it
Puppet Crafsman shrugging so cleanly is everything I need in the world
no kidding, i want to know how he did it like that though
For real! So cute :)
He aint a puppet man... dont u ruin it for me
I know that's right !!!!
The craftsman meta just increased 25%
“My wife told me not to do that joke” hahahaha Ain’t nothin wrong with a little pp joke.
Unless you have one!
I don’t like my girlfriend’s little pp jokes tho..
Had me rollin😂
😂😂😂😂😂
I think I missed something.
Seeing those pill bottles turn into delicious looking robots was incredibly satisfying. I might need to... Get one of these injection molding machines... 🤔
Glad you enjoyed it! :D
I just noticed they went from $1,800 to $2,200. :/ I'm guessing it was a supply-and-demand thing for LNS maybe.
Still a really big fan of the 150A. But you being a maker, consider the Precious Plastics design. ANNND there's a gentlemen called "Buster Beagle" who makes a really neat injection mold press here on TH-cam. :D
@@TheCrafsMan It is very cool to see the recycling movement enter into more toys from makers, that's something I've wanted to do for a long while. I just built up a Buster machine and while it's half the price of LNS, the shot size is also larger... so that's all around a good thing. Great that LNS has started offering a grinder since one of those has been difficult for me to source. Hopefully a more cost effective entry level solution presents itself (maybe a variation on that paper shredder Precious Plastics build - I've been a fan of them for a few years too!)
One day soon hopefully we'll see plastic grocery bags turned around into lovely AND functional ROBOTIX pilot figures for the Crafsman space station.
Love the Maker's Muse videos!!!! The buster Beagle 3D kit costs a lot less... a pneumatic conversion of these manual ones is pretty easy too, im doing it right now on my LNS150A. I did buy the BB3D 2 cu in kit recently too to play with, its really well made, but I'm concerned the 3/8" bolt may not hold up to the pneumatic pressure
@@AaronVanTassle Looking forward to building the Buster Beagle one, I think he came out with a newer version with better support...
@@TheCrafsMan Thanks for the plug! I have been a big fan of your videos for a while now and this is another great one. The response to my machine has been so great that I just sold out. I do have more on a ship headed to my right now so they should be back in stock very soon. Thanks again and keep it up the great work!
I'm 48 years old in the middle of Australia and I'm watching a puppet with a Southern American swampy accent this is brilliant 👏
Brilliant indeed. On Curaçao Island. 47.
There might be channels with higher budgets, but this is the highest *quality* content on TH-cam.
Indeed
It's the sentimentality
I'll take quality over quantity any day.
I love this sock, it has taught me a lot and its videos are relaxing
Look at mine.
Crafsman shrugging his shoulders got me. Love the subtle things like that.
Love that orange colour. Know i will probably never be able to do the injection moulding but I found the plastics description part very educational. Thank you crafsman.
Glad to hear it, buddy! Thank you for keepin' on watching!
(P.S. As far as you getting an injection molder, I will quote Samwise Gamgee: "You may yet, Mr. Frodo. You may." Except imagine Frodo is Bill.
"(Mumbling) My wife told me not to use that joke" had me laughing out loud!
I just want to encourage you… I don’t ever intend to get into injection molding, but I do like your injection molding videos! Your creativity and the results you get are very satisfying to watch. You do you Craftsman and us silent supportive types will try to speak out the encouragement a bit more.
Same - I really enjoy learning about things even if I'm not expecting to do them myself. Resin, silicone, injection moulding, all these sorts of things are fascinating to me. I regard it as expanding my future potential options - if I come up with a project in the future that would really benefit from one of these techniques then I'll recognise it and re-watch some videos to remind myself how it's done.
@@MattFowlerBTR My husband says I must be a crafting expert because I've spent the last several years just watching craft and DIY videos lol I just love learning and listening to people talk about stuff they're passionate about. Will I ever do injection molding? Probably not. Do I love hearing him talk about it? Absolutely
"My wife told me not to do that joke."
I'm glad you didn't listen!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Your channel helped me when I was making a few thousand life-long reusable respirators for hospitals. Thanks man. I liked your walkthroughs and tricks to do creative things with Moldstar. They were just what I needed. The soap trick and the really down to earth experiments are just what we need. Your channel sped me up probably 10-20%! Statistically, you have more likely than not saved the life of a doctor or nurse. Crafsman ftw! Who knows who else you've helped.
Wow
In case you needed more encouragement, I'll say this again.
Even though I don't plan to ever buy or make an injection molding machine, I still find these videos interesting. So please keep them coming.
“My wife told me not to do that joke” LOL 😂
Laughed so hard, tears rolled down my pants. (LSHTRDMP) :)

"The Solution" is at 9:28, btw ;)
NOTES:
The little MakerBot robot figures are not for sale - those are FREEbies with enamel pin orders. (Or any order thicker than an envelope.)

The Buster Beagle DIY Injection Molder video can be found here:

Translucent orange pill bottles can be found on sites like eBay or Amazon by searching for "translucent orange pill bottles".

NOTE: Polystyrene (PS) can be used in the LNS 150A and probably most any benchtop injection mold press, but be aware that the fumes are not as favorable as Polypropylene (PP) and Polyethylene (HDPE/LDPE).
Also crafsman, contrary to your wife, do more jokes like the pp joke, it crosses everyone's mind the instant they see it, and makin the joke just follows through on the swing! Until next time!
Please print and paint one of your Crafsman figures; watching you select colors and apply the paint would be edutaining indeed!
Great stuff man! Hey, random question. I'm pretty sure I've seen you do metal casting before, and if I'm thinking right you've done lead and tin. But have you ever worked with copper and/or bronze? If so, by chance you have any tips on making good molds that aren't green sand, relatively easy? Big thanks, and keep having fun!🍻
How fun!! Thanks for sharing
Pls crafsman dont ever apologize for making what you feel like making, we are just lucky to be part of the journey❤️
You are 100% a teacher. Kids of all ages need to be watching this. Science and Engineering all wrapped up in some recycling - plus cool tools. You're the best!
Crafsman giving out all these wisdoms for free. What a nice person.
You're the product being sold
Really love the background music track on this one, Crafsman.
Oh yeah, that's right! He probably made the music himself!
Love to see a use for pill bottles like this. They add up so quickly, and I hate just throwing them out since my area can't recycle them!
Yesss I take 10+ pills a day and it adds up. Crafsman do you take tips in the form of pill bottles? 😂
Apparently they sell on ebay
You can make mini cannons out of them if you're ever that bored. Ever see a pvc potato gun? Same thing. Pill bottle + a pen tube + glue. Make darts out of cotton swabs or something. Use tiny amounts of spray sanitizer or rubbing alcohol for propellant.
I like the music. This goes perfectly with your personality: "mellow with just a whisper of space robots"!
Baby, you do you. I have no interest in injection molding, but I just love watching your passion. You got what I need.
I like injection mold videos because you seem to enjoy doing them. I'm commenting this before watching, but I'm excited to see it!
It was a great video! I hope you're doing well, and please keep up the great work!
I love the Crafsman. I get very happy in my soul to see his vidos every time they appear.
Thank you Crafsman for all the fun, Education and the crafting you do. It inspires me to crafs
my own things and make my own toys. I really appreciate you very much.
I laughed when you said “my wife said not to say that” yes,, I caught it 😂
I started laughing out loud with the 'you can't just push the bottles down into the injection machine'. Thank you for the joy and the videos.
Repurposing plastics like this is always fascinating. This reminds me of the woodworkers on here who would turn empty milk cartons into blocks of HDPE for projects.
the amount of charm and effort that just OOZES from this channel is palpable. i love it so much 🥺
Crafsman, I love your injection molding videos right along with everything else. Keep 'em coming whenever you have one you want to make. I may not have an injection molder myself-yet-but I'm always interested in learning what you've been doing with yours.
When he put the bits in the grinder for a second go, am I the only one who thought "It's re-grind time!"
Ordinary Sausage!
I laughed at the PP joke, but then I died laughing at his confession. 😂🤣🤣🤣💀
I love EVERY video you make, no matter whether I intend to do the same crafting as you. I love watching you create things and teach others! ❤️
Another amazing video! I love the way you go into so much detail, make it fun, and educate all at the same time. That negative person behind you doesn't know shinola. By the way, your final injection results look great! The orange color looks fantastic. BTW: Please fasten your seatbelt. We're headed into a little turbulence for next 24 hours. Be safe brother man.
My friend, thank you so much! :) I appreciate you more than I can write up in here.
Also, we hope and pray you and your family stay safe!
I wish I could afford setups like this, there's so many things I wanna make! But I have a good time living vicariously through your videos 👍
The part about explaining the types of plastic is very useful information, this will be my go to video if I forget what is what. Also that little bench shredder is awesome! 👍👊
I love watching the injection moulding videos. Your enthusiasm for the projects is what makes it for me
Really really need TheCrafsMan to record a bed time story. I can't get enough of his calming voice.
God I love the way Crafsman says the different plastics like it's so funny and I love it
Loved this. Your voice is mellow and calming, and the subject was well filmed. Thanks for sharing!
Just stumbled on this channel through my recommendations. I love it! Chill Vibes, Science, DIYs, and a relaxing soothing voice.
I got one of your little makerbots with my Craftnation shirt for Christmas this past year. The bot was a clear one with orange plastic running through it like veins. It's one of the coolest molded plastic things I have ever seen. I know you have probably made like a billion of them by now, but I just wanted to let you know that that small thing is out there in the world being admired and appreciated by someone.
I may not be able to watch every single video sometimes. But I always enjoy the ones I do see, much love Crafsman
I love these injection mold videis! I love watching the troubleshooting approach, rather than the finished product itself!
I’m so excited to see a new video from you AND on a topic I want to see! Thank you for all of your work on these videos!
I JUST listened to that WHOLE album like yesterday! It came up as a suggestion and I was like JUMP AROUND! Yeah, that whole album is still good.
Clicked within 1 minute. Perfect timing as always The Crafsman
Same!
I was just thinking about your channel last week. I haven't seen any of your videos in a long time. didn't look them up but . . BAM !! there you are. thanks man
THIS IS FANTASTIC. ALL OF IT. Love it, love everything about it *chefs kiss*
Its crazy i should see this tonight. As today, as in other times, I wondered, just what I could do with all my empty pill bottles. Besides some fish hooks etc. Haha. Awesome. I love watching your videos. As soon as I see the words " steady craftin" I smile. 😁
This is the best suggested by youtube I have ever received. Thank you CrafsMan for this entertaining and informative video!
I love your videos I listen and watch when I'm stressed or can't sleep and it calms me xxx
Dont have to apologize for making videos you’re passionate about crafsman!! That should always be what your videos are about in a perfect world. Id watch a video of you peeling potatoes because I come here for YOU.
We love you CrafsMan, keep on Steady Craftin!
the shrugging was such a sweet little detail, just love it! And thank you for this very informative plastic update!
Amazing content my man. You are able to make learning the different types of plastic extremely fun. Which is super important in our plastic-filled world and to help get kids interested in the topic.
Awesome! I’ve always liked the color of those bottles too. Not sure why. I think they just looked cool when I was young.
YEA IM EXCITED ABOUT THIS
I've been trying to think of what to do with plastics. I have been melting number 5 plastics into a big mound with a heat gun and I feel like there is something else I could be doing with it
Thanks for your videos Craftsman! They bring me so much joy
I feels good to watch see content by someone that talks and sound like me and do the same type of hobbies I love....it’s so dope man
I can not lie your just incredible.
Loved the shrug and the interpersonal advice 😉😊🧡🤟🏼
Hearing you explain and talk about different types of plastics and injection molding gave me such cozy Bob Ross vibes. Friend, I would listen to you talking about any old thing. You are wonderful
No worries Crafsman, I love all your injection molding videos. They're all very educational.
Crafsman, thank you for being so friendly and mello. You made my heart smile just listening. Much love my dude.
Crafsman, after seeing the end results of the melted down med bottles, I was gonna suggest you make a figure/character based on a pill bottle, but then I realized that was a weird idea so, yeah don't do that. It does kinda look like the color of honey though, so maybe an injection molded, bee themed figure? Like a bee that is itself a beekeeper? I dunno (gives best Crafsman style shrug)
I'm not sure what's better your model making talent or your video making talent....awesome!!!
Crafsman!!!! Thank you for doing your work! You light up my life, my friend~
I used to work in a Plastics plant. So many memories. We had bigger versions of the grinder you were using.
Yeah there's huge ones that grind up school busses, old cars, refrigerators😂
@@tikkidaddy That's some scary mess right there, y'all! :/
Crazy to imagine such machines exist.
@@TheCrafsMan Yessir...when the blades wear down they grind off the mess, weld up the edges and resharpen it. Used them for Katrina cleanup. Looks like they finnda hafta did it again😥
A joke for you Crafsman: Why does 4 never talk to 3 or 5?
Because 4 is two squared.
😂
Lol
Why was 6 afraid of 7?
Because 7 ate 9🤣🤣🤣
Tried to weigh a 🌈. It was pretty light.
@@mattrinne 🤣🤣🤣
Awesome video! I totally dig the aesthetics of amber-orangy thermoplastics and resins and your end result totally nails it!
Nice video. Having fun while learning new things is always a good time. I'll have to check out that home made injection molder, thanks for the tip!
Using our empty pill bottles to create the robot workforce that will eventually replace us: "This is the part of the program where I would tell a joke, but, you know..."
So, what do you do with all those little plastic men with the M on them? Are they toys for kids?? Also...I LOVE the added advice on how to deal with the haters. That was great!!! "I think that was a little breeze that went by..."😄👍🏻
Thank you for watching! We send those little plastic Makerbots out as little free bonuses in packages thick enough to hold them, like the enamel pin orders and such. :D Glad you enjoyed this!
I appreciate these videos so much, im returning to this video after finding out im learning about this same content Crafsman taught me 2 years ago. Thanks for such a fun way to remember the plastic codes!
I love you Craftman, you dont know how much i appreciate your work!
Would you be able to recycle plastic sprues from model kits for this? Always bothered me how all the plastic goes to waste and ends up in a landfill since it isn't recyclable in the same way that bottles and jugs are.
If those leftover bits are PS/Polystyrene, it is possible to re-use them. :) Not the most preferable, fume-wise, but I agree - it's bothersome for that much plastic to go to waste.
For sprues, you can soak them in acetone. They become pliable. I saw someone on TH-cam doing it for his warhammer sprues.
For plastic bottles, especially HDPE plastics, you can melt it inside an oven (again saw this bloke on TH-cam doing it)
Don't forget to wear safety gear by the way! Happy craftin! 😁
CrafsMan is a modern day Bob Ross. Bringing the joy of craftin' everyone.
He sure is. Such a peaceful being.
Last year I ordered a t-shirt to the UK because I wanted to support Crafsman and all his work. I put a little note asking if it would be okay if I could get the Galaxy perler bead Makerbot. Because of Covid and Brexit, the shirt got stuck in customs. I messaged him and Crafsman sent out another. That one got stuck too.
Since I only bought the t-shirt to support Crafsman, I asked him not to send another and that it was okay. I'd just wait.
Fast forward to noticing his new shop and with new pins. I bought one.
During a particularly bad week, feeling really sad and low because of personal stuff, the pin arrived.
With the shirt tucked inside.
And stickers.
And Tony's.
And, right at the bottom, a silver-grey Makerbot and a galaxy-coloured one.
I keep the lil robot on me and whenever I feel bad and I just take it out and think about kindness.
Thank you, Crafsman. You made a difficult month so much better.
Charlie, this comment means so much to my wife and me.
We were bigtime disheartened when we learned the package was held up.
Interesting how it worked out...
My wife sent that 2nd package out feeling bad that we didn't have another galaxy glitter bot to include with it, seeing as how it was stuck in that first package.
But the 1st package eventually bounced back, SHORTLY before you ordered from the new site, and we were able to include it with that order. The timing on all that was really neat.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for being such a wonderful person. We sincerely appreciate your support and kind words.
That advice on how to deal with people was so relevant to my day yesterday
Minor correction: That's not a recycling symbol, it's a Resin Identification Code: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resin_identification_code
The plastics industry copied the public domain recycling symbol (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recycling_symbol) to make it seem like all plastics are recyclable. The symbol does not indicate if the plastic is recyclable or not, and many aren't
Retirement home employee: Sir what are you doing in the dumpster?
Some guy: I'm looking for plastic for toy making.
Retirement home employee: sir that's where we throw our "sharps" the medication jars are in that dumpster over there.
*Guy comes out the dumpster looking like a porcupine* Oh well that explains it.
Loved this. Thanks for educating me on plastic recycling numbers
Its been a minute for me craftman, i love to come back and see such a boost in production value, love you craftman keep on steady craftin
Injectors are SO EXPENSIVE! If I were a single man and didn't like my long range hunting rifles, I'd totally get into this.
This is awesome! I love the production quality, and it is very informative!
Every time I watch your videos I learns something new and think "you are a genius", keep up the awesome work!!!
I don't have an injection mold machine, but I still like seeing your videos on it and you clearly enjoy it. Share what you enjoy.
The messages and life tips keep me always steady… craftin my way through life 🙏🏼
I always love seeing your videos! Very creative, fun, and relaxing to listen to as well. Keep up the great work!
I appreciate how you go through proper safety.
That joke was classic!😁
Also really appreciate the paraphrased "jump around" intro👍📻🔊
Thank you for so clearly explaining the different plastics. Such a rad video.
Crafsman your videos are endlessly entertaining. I wish you all the success in the world, and hope more and more people find their way here because your voice and your content is something everyone should experience. Peace and love brother!
I am so happy you popped up on my feed, I watched your one robot video years ago and could not remember your channel. I learned my lesson and I subscribed :)
I love your videos. Even the ones for things I won't ever do. I learn a lot and your voice is so nice.
How have I never seen this channel before?? I absolutely love your vibes and the legit educational content in here
I have no idea what I just watched but TH-cam brought me here and I’m just blown away
Real talk this is one of the best YT videos I've seen in awhile. Love it!
I love your stuff Crafsman ! I watch you from spain and always learn so much ...your shop reminds me of my grandpa's tool shed . I used to spend hours and hours there , he had screws,nails , metal pieces and all kinds of stuff...best years of my life. sending you the best vibes!!
I don't craft at all, and don't really care to but I just love your videos. So creative and so cool to see how much your channel has grown since I last saw it 3 years ago.
