This is a bit of flashing left from the gate. This is where plastic flowed in when it was still molten. Because

this is a cheap piece, they didn't care too much about hiding it.

These are the ejector pin markings. This is where those steel pegs pushed this piece out of the mold. The bottom
|
||||||
|
ejectors are thicker because this also serves to reinfrce the metal wire that puts a lot of force on this area.

The pattern down here is effectively free, because this piece is entirely flat. There aren't any fancy tool
|
||||||
|
options here -- no lifters or sliders or anything complicated. The plastic also has a very rough surface,
|
||||||
|
indicating they probably aren't cleaning the tool very often. I'm not sure what's going on here, or why this
|
||||||
|
looks different between the two pieces. Maybe this was modified by an amateur.

This is the gate. You'll see this pattern a lot now. Again, this is where plastic flowed in from the machine, and

was clipped off when it was delivered to the manufacturer.

They've added some text on the
|
||||||
|
backside here. This text could be a swappable plate, which means they could take this piece of metal out of the
|
||||||
|
core and replace it with another. That would allow them to localize it easily. Also, it's sunken in, which means
|
||||||
|
it's easier to make typo corrections, because all you have to do is file down the tool and try again.
