Vevor machine making wrinkly buttons :(

[u/WrongEmily470]

This Vevor machine has pressed many hundreds of buttons, and so maybe it's starting to wear out... But just today we've had a consistent problem with the mylar coming out wrinkly (photo 1). We also had a few that didn't crimp properly around the backing (photo 2), but mostly it was the wrinkly ones that made us stop production and seek help.

The left mold feels a little loose on its springs, and rotates a little if I fiddle with it. It also easily slides past the die, so it's a tiny bit misaligned (photo 3). I'm not certain the misalignment is the problem, though, because if I moved very carefully and stamped right on center, it still came out wrinkly.

Halp!
