Let customers speak for us
I bought the Injekto 3 to showcase plastic injection as a means of manufactoring with my engineering students. It has passed with flying colors. Students love seeing the Injekto in action and how quickly parts can be made. I also plan to add this machine to our other engineering classes as a module for students to learn the mold making process.
I've followed Action Box for quite some time on their YouTube, and as a product owner who'd just spent tens of thousands on a steel injection mold themselves, seeing the Injekto in action made me full of regret for not having bought it sooner.
If you have a product idea or concept now, you can literally 3D print it into an SLS or Poly mold, and voila, within the same day, you can go from idea to a physical 360 degree working concept.
It's mindblowing how accessible this makes having a product come to life now, and I'd truly recommend it to all designers, dreamers and engineers. Not to mention the customer service is A+!
My tips!:
- Get the Mold Lifters (Life Changer)
- Get 2 Aluminum Backers so you can rotate between pulls
- Get a SILENT Compressor! I Purchased a Craftsman and it's dead quiet
- Invest in a decent fume extractor, because depending on the material you use, it can get fumey. I got a very decent one from Vevor for $100
I'm thrilled with my Action Box Injekto 3.0. The engineering was thoughtful, the kit was high quality, and it went together (with the guidance of some awesome printed and video instructions). I had one question during building, which was operator error, and support got back to me almost immediately. We use this in a teaching / research environment, and it's a great tool for that job. I also appreciated that this was a DIY solution that I could buy as a single line item - always nice in an environment where purchasing can be difficult.
This a little monster. I did not expect it to be such a solid machine. I can tell a lot of work went into its production. I will add pictures once I get it put together.
Great molder for initial trials and testing. Nice to have a benchtop unit that can mold a variety of plastics. Customer service was very helpful and answered all of our questions prior to ordering. Great addition so far!
I've just finished building my whole set up and haven't really worked with it enough to give a full review yet, but so far I am very impressed by the quality of all the parts and the overall design and can't wait to really dive into creating more of my art with Injekto.
I’m really happy with the giant bag of plastic pellets I ordered from ActionBox. They’re super easy to work with, and they melt quickly, which makes the whole process faster. The bags are also very sturdy, so I don’t worry about them tearing or making a mess while handling or storing them. Overall, great experience, and I’ll definitely be buying again.
Mold Backers (for INJEKTO 3) is an ideal aluminum device not only for holding 3D-printed molds made of filament and resin, but also for molds made of aluminum or even steel.
The device is easy to use, precisely manufactured to fit perfectly, and closes the two mold halves absolutely securely.
Conclusion: I am thrilled!
A big THANK YOU also to the Action BOX team for their great support with customs clearance!
This thing does a fantastic job of holding the printed molds together, and you can feel it when it's correctly seated under Injekto 3. Not having to worry about whether you clamped your mold good enough makes this little gem worth its weight in gold for me.
This is a great machine. I took my time putting it together after work over a couple of days; my time constraints, not the machine's fault. It's really heavy and well-made. The parts go together pretty smoothly. You need to cut some wires, but it's not a big deal. Find the unlisted YouTube assembly video and watch it a few times before starting.
I'm really happy with my purchase and am currently having a great time learning injection molding. I'm using FDM-printed molds made of PET-CF. That stuff is really tough and holds up well. The downside is the print time, 14 hours to produce two mold halves, but if you don't have a CNC machine, then it's a good deal.
You won't regret buying this machine. My only suggestion is not cheap out like I did on buying the Mold Lifters (for INJEKTO 3), it's worth it. I'm using a $30 car jack rated for a couple of tons, but it is a pain in the butt to position, and you really have to crank it to get the seal. Yes, it's $500, but you're already $2,500 deep, so $500 more won't make a difference :)
I run a small business making scale plastic model cars. I used to 3D print parts but the layer lines just made it look unprofessional. After some research I got the Injekto 3 and the quality of parts cannot be compared to 3d printing. Much smoother finish and my customer feedback has been better. Grateful for the kind support team helping me get started. I would describe Injekto 3 as a beginners machine with a premium feel. I would recommend it!
I used to have one of those cheap Chinese shredders and it jammed all the time. Even small plastic pieces would get stuck and I’d have to take it apart every other session. I finally decided to get something more serious and the Shredii 8 has been a completely different experience. It has not jammed a single time for me and it just eats through all my 3D printed scrap. The build feels solid, the flakes come out clean, and it fits nicely on my workbench. Honestly one of the best tools I’ve added to my shop in a long while.
Awesome machine for such a cheap price, high quality, and customer support is top tier.
Well designed and constructed machine. It feels like it is built like a tank. Great customer support also for wiring help.
Less 1 star because I found the link cable provided to be very thick and difficult to clamp on the deadman switch and a little more length would be helpful.
-Printed custom funnel and lid with acrylic window.
-Printed custom gasket and chute to isolate the wooden table and shredded prints (contamination) followed with a flap seal under the table.
I have put PLA, PETG and ABS through SHREDII with only a small amount of clumping if the blades get a little warm. But you just throw it back into SHREDII.
For recycling to make new filament, creating regrinds needs 2 or 3 cycles through SHREDII to get the particles small enough.
I’m based in Germany and purchased the Injecto 3 as a business customer for various small projects – quality was especially important to me. The Injecto comes as a complete kit and must be assembled by the user. There's a very detailed and easy-to-follow instructional video provided. The assembly is quite straightforward, and you get to know the entire structure of the device in the process, which I see as a big advantage.
I took about four hours to complete the assembly, as I proceeded very carefully to avoid any mistakes. Everything worked flawlessly right from the start. The device has been in use for several months now and has been running perfectly ever since.
The support and customer service are truly excellent – whenever there's a question or issue, help is provided quickly and professionally. I'm absolutely thrilled.
At the time of my purchase, there was no lifter and mold backers available for the actual mold – I had to make these myself. Today, I would recommend ordering these parts directly from ActionBox.
