For the rotation moulding machine I made a basic mould to start with. I first have to find the right, temperature, duration and speed to use the machine properly. Otherwise it might burn, not melt at all or the quality isn’t optimal. By a lot of testing and trying I finally found it, the perfect settings to use the machine! Next stop, trying different shapes and colours.

Rotational-moulding tests I made so far...

From the first mould experiments to fine-tuning the right temperature to melt it properly.
