23.8mm for Greek hybrid mold

 

[TheOffalo]

Interesting, so 3 different sizes, seems like they could customize for a new mold...

 

[SeanGecko]

Maybe, going to ask her.
54 for Web mold and Star mold with 17.

Fwiw, I wouldn't go any larger than a 25mm recess on a 39mm chip. Reference Sun-Fly's 39mm hybrids with the larger labels if you want to see first-hand the decline in stackability.

How big are the larger labels on the Sun-Fly 39mm hybrids?

I am certainly not advocating for a larger recess than 25mm. I" = 25.4mm so no larger than 25, but 7/8" = 22.2mm & there is a big difference in look, but not much (if any) difference in performance between the two. 24mm would be great!

Web mold is so sick. Dibs.

Well, what about @justincarothers new Greek mold that has a 1" inlay area & stack every bit as well as any old THC bricks.

If we are going for stackability I don't believe it would be possible for them to stack any better than his do. Oh, by the way... the small crowns that @Himewad has are 1" dia and they stack like bricks too.

If the majority think it looks better with more area around the perimeter and a smaller inlay then so be it, but let's not make this decision based on how a smaller inlay area "is going to make em stack better", because that just isn't the case.

This is true. The MGK molds are very grippy and have a nice textured finish to them that allows them to stack well. I never said that a chip with a larger inlay wouldn't stack well, but it would be more likely to stack well with a smaller inlay.

The 39mm and 43mm MGK's both feel and stack great based on the samples I have, but if I make a set, I'm going with the 43mm hands down.

28+mm, going from memory.

Agreed, the ~24mm recess on the greek key mold looks and feels pretty sweet to me.

Black inlays > white inlays

Just a testimony

 

[aildeokl]

Once we decide on a mold, how long would it be before said mold was ready to make some chips?

Others here have more experience with this than I do, but I think it is safe to say that if you are asking the question, you are probably better off going with something that is already made.

It'll be months, not weeks before this is done

I believe we can move on to the vector.

Already made the vector for the faux mold.
Can discuss details via PM if youre interested.

Vector sent to Tina. Deciding on which version will look better line thickness wise.

 

[TX_Golf_N_Poker]

I personally much prefer the 1" inlay like the one on the left. For me, I like the extra space it allows for more artwork on the label/inlay. 7/8 dia is pretty restrictive and especially so if "Tina" can eventually match the label colors with the chip base colors properly which will allow for nice faux shaped inlays. If you try and do a faux shaped inlay inside of 7/8" dia it leaves very little room in there!

This. Agreed on 1 inch label.

 

[andrebttx]

Here's the difference between 1" and 7/8" labels. I tried to make the web equidistant between the outer edge and the recess on both examples...that meant having to reduce the web mold slightly on the 7/8".

Yeah I’ll also join on the side of the 1 inch label looking best. More room for inlay design is a huge upside without it pushing into oversized territory. You’re less likely to end up with something so small or fine that it prints poorly.

I work in CNC manufacturing, I had already assumed it would be some number of months. I was just looking for an estimate if someone had one, as obviously this process has been gone through before here for some of the other molds that have been developed.

 

[SeanGecko]

30-40 days add some wait time to be cautious and say 2-3 months.

 

[SeanGecko]

Going with the same size as Justin new Greek for the label and recess.

Also let's do bigger on the next one.

 

[SeanGecko]

Opinion of n line thickness?

Opinion of n line thickness?View attachment 1234125

The hard part is that sometimes the line gets thicker during the process, or can appear thicker in the final.
Can she make a protoype of both?

 

[Nanook]

Since we don't really know what either one will look like why not consider Justin's ngm. Are the lines on that mold too shallow, just right or too deep?

I think they are pretty close to just right, but maybe there is an overwhelming majority that think otherwise.

Adjust accordingly

She did it with the Greek I think. I'll ask her when she replies
