What ammm I? Chop lihva?
Truly.
Glad yer able to find some respite in the land of hacking. My own brain only sometimes lets me hide in fun stuff like bits and code, while it's dealing with life.
On the topic of bits - have you had much luck with the stems and catches at the bottom of IBM keys? It's not a huge issue, since one can just go nuts on the keycap for solids, or raised keys, but fer a double-shot, the extra thickness on a single-piece key is nice.
I just do manual throws, typically with resin - and my venting sucks. Hence the fiddly bits of keys are infuriating.
It sounds like you cast your dies, and have a studio-scale injection molding setup?
Much impressed, regardless.
I have no sane theories on how to get crisp lettering projected onto plastic to form even a mm thick master for a character. Wish I could print on something, then hit it with UV or similar, and then magically rinse away the unexposed material... like with photo-sensitive circuit boards.
Double-shot anything is years away for me.
I'll likely end up getting a cnc toy fer fine work working before I sort out the casting problems. At least that will get me part way.
mystified,
