Mold Cavity Request
« on: 03/18/13 17:14 UTC »
would it be possible to get these to molds in a 1 cavity so it would be cheaper & we could possibly buy 2 molds at a time instead of just 1?

I would suppose that it could be done, but you might be surprised at the cost.  My guess is that any two cavity mold would likely cost less than two single cavity molds of the same design.

Just thinking of a way to buy them quicker/a different type mold along with one of them...I could be wrong but from what ive seen & tried to understand/break down is that additional cavities run about $54.75-$63.16 (give or take but i could be wrong)..I'm 22 & it takes a little bit more effort to buy the higher priced molds

I can understand your particular problem.  I was 22 once too and it ain't easy to find the change for every new mold you want.  The molds you spoke of are pretty intricate designs because of the extra machining.  The run times on molds like that are significantly higher than your average design.  My guess is that there are a lot of people that would like to see those designs with twice as many cavities... I'm afraid we can't make everyone happy all at once.
