Since many of you are asking how to hot cast small things from plastic, I present a video in which I discuss this process based on a hook for a truck. One of them is made of PLA plastic and the other is made of ABS plastic. The manufactured elements are of the same strength as the original ones and are not exposed to quick destruction. Both materials have a melting point of around 200 degrees Celsius. With the help of a heat pen, I heat up the poured material in the mold until it is liquid. After reaching the desired temperature, I squeeze both parts to get the desired shape. During the initial application of plastic to the mold, I use a toy, popular among children, called a 3D pen. Evaluate the effect of the castings yourself. at the same time, I would like to point out that you cannot get discouraged immediately, as it takes a while to get to the final casting.
