Where do I find a tutorial for making a vacuum former?


Recommended Posts

I don't know if there's a tutorial for a large former based on exactly what you want. You'll have to do a bit of research on your own coupled with the knowledge you gather from the tutorials you find on smaller sized machines. Then once you have an idea of how it all works and what's needed to scale up to what you want, design it and build it. It's what I did when I was building my CNC Router.

 

I think I have some blueprints I found online somewhere for a former... maybe... might have lost it when my HDD crashed. If I find it, I'll send it off to you. It's a nice start to get an idea of what's needed.

I've used this tutorial to build my vacuum machine with a size of one squaremeter :)

It's not perfect, but it's a good start ;)
