5-cavity injection mold with interchangeable inserts, polypropylene. Due to the client’s limited budget, a less-than-ideal molding setup was chosen: producing five different parts in a single mold is already far from optimal, and to mold the rim without a handle, inserts have to be swapped --
-- the joint line between them will remain visible on the rear rim’s surface (which is acceptable for the part located at the back). As a result, one set of rims corresponds to two sets of small components, which is still tolerable cost-wise

Cylinder mold, low-density polyethylene. The mold’s unusual design is dictated by the relatively large height of the part and the injection molding machine’s parameters, which do not allow for the required ejector stroke. Therefore, the ejection stroke was integrated into the mold opening movement. HDPE was chosen because the part is completely non-visible
