This work-in-progress. Just wanted to let me know. :-D
The Goal
I wanted to make my own body shells, ones NO ONE got. Insane, I know. :)
Building
The Vacuum-Forming Tools
Boxes
I made two VacForm-Boxes: One with 50cm x 28cm and one 64cm x 34cm. Why?
- The 50cm x 28cm - sized: because I can cut 3 sheets from the supplied 1000x500mm PET-G sheets[1]
- The 64cm x 34cm - sized: because some body shells are too large for 50cmx28cm. Unfortunately I can cut only one out of above mentioned sheets.
The boxes are around 10cm high and have one 35mm - hole on the side to attach the vacuumer.
I recommend rubber seals like this: E-Profil-Seal
The finished box looks like this:
