I used a wooden cigar box to build mine. Worked great.

It'd be cool to have a heating element 12" directly over the vacuum that heats the plastic from above. The vacuum could be supported by 4 ⅛" steel rods, 1 at each corner, that doubles as a slider track that is always perfectly centered from start to finish. I'm sure there's a few more steps involved, just throwing ideas out there for someone..

For the plastic you can also use 250 micron binding covers I'd think. I was experimenting with them to see if they are heat resistant and they are not, they can be moulded with heat....:) and they can be pretty cheap if you can't get OHP

The vacuum Form Machine is so Cool in rc and diecast car bodies in small forms in my opinion in two scales I like 1/64 and 1/24 scales

Good video thanks. I think you should put your vacuum tip center. It will be increase quality I guess

Make the holes very tiny, to avoid leaving marks on the pvc

What is the material that you used to make the frame that held the plastic? The brown piece?

Do normal upright household vacuums have Enough power to pull like this? I built one and am having issues getting the plastic to meet the edge of the form and the hole base. For some reason I have better results with thicker plastic. Does my vac just suck?

Hi cool video, what kind of plastic did you use? Also it would have been very nice if you showed the plastic mold without the Dc motor in. Thanks

Question: I have seen other videos and would like to know if several holes or one hole in center is the best for the vacuum?
