I made a complicated SIMPLE TOY with DIY injection molding
It is possible to make injection molds using a resin mix. I don’t like using 3D printed molds directly, for reasons of weaknicity and brittleness. (This may change when that Siraya Sculpt resin comes in.)

INJECTION MOLDER USED IN THIS VIDEO: https://www.techkits.com/products/mod…
(Injects up to 1 cubic inch shot size, or close to 18 grams. I check my models in a 3D slicer to determine the shot size before proceeding with making the mold.)
