The box doesn't appear to have (glass) fiber reinforcement, so I guess the mold is Al. The article doesn't mentioned the type of plastic being used, either - by the looks of the video PP or ABS?
- ahaucnx 3y agoAuthor here. We use ASA plastic.
- unleaded 3y agoHow do you decide what plastic to use?
- ahaucnx 3y agoUV residence, hardness, mold suitability characteristics etc.

PC/PA6/PA66/PC+ABS/POM(!)/PP+GF/HDPE all good (esp. with fiber reinforcement for PC/PA). I can't recall the last time I have seen ASA, aside quick connect garden fittings. Out of curiosity: what else have you considered as material?
