For all parts, we have experimented with short shots, flashes, and some dishing. The process of fabricating the parts has not only taught us time management is critical, but it has also shown us many unaccounted or unexpected problems that had not been thought of before arise when preparing to produce parts. Furthermore, we have also learned that some issues can be fixed by switching parameters in the machine rather than re-doing a mold. For example, to decrease flashing, we have decreased the shot size. For the dishing occurring in our B, we will increase the injection pressure and the hold time.
In the upcoming days, we will be optimizing our parameters and testing them to begin the fabrication of our production pieces.
