beautiful! I actually got a couple of old drawer slides to make that kind of sliding heat originally. So in your model, the mold table lifts up into the plastic?

I couldn't figure how to do that without making it too heavy, or too complicated with counterweights if all the lifting and movement were done by hand. Thanks for the pics, I am going to try and complete this machine without breaking 200 bucks, this gives me some great reference!

willbhere4u- what do you mean "did"? I still do when I can get away with it.
