Lots of projects! New vac machine!

[Militicus]

Hey guys, dont have alot of posts but wanted to share my excitement of my new vacuum form machine i built! Have a ton of projects going on, hope to start cranking some out for people! Heres a pic of the new machine.

Wanted to go upright but this was more cost affective.

Heater box gets to 450 degrees no problem.

cool, with all the 3d printing (which I think is great), its good to see this method still used. On that note any suggestion on where to get your pvc sheets?

 

[Militicus]

Ya, unfortunately even a cheap 3d printer is out of my budget lol, i do have access to one but i needed something in my own garage.

I live outside of Houston, iv got a place here that supplies just about every type of plastic, didn't want to throw money at shipping so... Found a place local!

is that a toaster oven for your heater lol

Yes! It works better than expected, the good thing is that it does NOT have a safety to shut off when it gets too hot.
