Vacuum Forming Machine - DIY Restoration Preparation [How To Make]
In this video, I build a technical jig for my next restoration project. However, I will not yet reveal what I am going to restore
I am going to use this jig as a vacuum forming machine. I will use the process „thermoforming“, so build this tool.
In this case, I will deep draw PET-G. The construction is quite simple and possible for everyone to copy without problems.
▬ What I did ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
At first, I assemble the frame, to which I screw the base plate. I install four supports inside the Frame, so the perforated plate remains stable when the vacuum is created. Now I seal all joints with acrylic so that the vacuum can become as strong as possible. Then I screw the perforated plate onto the base frame of the thermoformer and seal the edge with sealing tape. In the next step, I build the clamping frame. I need to cut a large area out of the perforated plate; I do this with a jigsaw. From the cut out part, I make the clamping jaws. Later I attach these to the frame with wing screws and drive-in nuts. Finally, I build the frame for heating. I assemble this from four parts of a Multiplex and four pieces of squared lumber. At the end the reward - a small function test... pay attention to my tips in the test!
▬ Good to know ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
