Re: I need help with plastics

Something I had thought of while trying to make my own wheels: what about making a mold, and then making the wheels out of some sort of resin? I don't really have much experience with this (save for building a tape dispenser in my sophomore ME design class), but perhaps someone could enlighten us on the best way to do this?
