@@WMBayouLures Yes and it as simple as using a ball nose cutter in the mold. It also helps if the spew grows larger as it leaves the parts(maybe 5 degrees taper). If the very last place for the mold material to freeze is back at the injector your pressure keeps pushing soft material the whole time. In metal pouring that means a tall tapered cone for gravity but in injection molding it looks like a tree trunk with smaller branches.
Are your designs warehoused anywhere for purchase besides Patreon? I support designers on Cults3D, for instance, but don't see value in a monthly Patreon subscription (for myself anyway).
@@WMBayouLures kinda too bad, you're limiting your revenue stream. Some guys over there are showing $1000s and their designs are subpar compared to the ones you show.
Good video. I almost always creat a cylinder for my gate and use the fillet tool to shrink down the gate into the bait.
Great tip!
I do pewter casting and I aim for a spherical bulb on a gate that is short(maybe 2mm).
Do you think the bulb provides enough excess heat to keep the gate flowing?

Nope I only share on Patreon and some of the designs are not available anywhere as they are made exclusively for WMBayou.com 😉
