The uneven mold condition at the top is just poor quality machining work. The mold cavities are deeper on one side than the other. Which means that the deeper cavity side needs more plastic than the other to fill. Which is why you are getting inconstant results. A blending block will inject the same amount of plastic at a time.
-
Applying injection pressure for a longer period of time will produce better results than the extenders. The extenders will add more hot plastic to the injection but you need to force it into cavities before it cools off to much to flow. Denting is caused by cooling at the cavity gate. It cools before the main cavity does. You have to force the hot plastic in as it cools.

Humidity, would be my guess. -
Mine was delivered the other day and overall I'm happy with it. The advertised jig weights are almost spot on depending on what hook size is used. The sprues break clean from the jigs and are ready for paint immediately. The wire keepers are a pain to load but that's just because of their small size. I Haven't seen any new inserts come out for a week or so.

Looks like the dowel pins in the frame align the inserts. If you take a close look the farthest pin from the hinge its longer and aligns the both halves when closed.

I get it. But I like the idea of having one mold to make any jig I want. The insert sets are priced lower than any Do-it mold and they are cnc machined. I think I'm going to pull the trigger on one.
-
I think its a new product line. The available inserts has double in the last few days. Its just something completely new to the market.
-
The mold frame holds 4 cavity inserts which can be swapped out with another size or style jig insert. Looks like this would save a whole lot of money and space compared to buying numerous molds.

Came across these the other day. Just wondering if any one has used them. Looks like you just buy the mold frame and put whatever style or size jig mold you want into it. I can seen a lot of benefits of these.

I disputed it with my CC company after 6 months of BS from Hot Runner. Took a while to get settled but I got my money back. Ended up buying from the original manufacturer of this design. It was delivered 10 days after being ordered. It works great and is super easy to use. I can pump out a ton of baits in short time now.

The Texas AG office has been notified of the fraudulent business practices of hot runner machines. Hope no one else gets burned by him.
-
$5000.00 plus shipping is a lot for a flawed design and woeful excuses. 8 months to delivery is ridiculous. If you even get it. Once again... Buyer Beware!

Hot Runner Machines (Brad Selph Austin, Texas) has gained a very bad reputation for his business practices. Buyer beware....

Jacobs Molds has been making them for over a decade. Look at Zorn Molds for full production injectors. Hotrunner machines (Brad Selph) is a shady individual. Heard tons of complaints.
