Description

I didnt see a single vacuum former in Makerworld so I decided to make my own. This print is made for H2 series printers, I may upload a smaller one for P and X series in the future. The corners tend to warp when printing but it does not affect the effectiveness of the part. A frame will need to be built to hold plastic sheets for the forming process.

The threads of the adapter ring is M36 1.5. I have it glued into place with just CA glue.

The bed size of the former is 11" x 11".

UPDATE:

Smaller box added compatible with X, P and A series printers
Larger vacuum hose attachment added as an option

UPDATE 4-15-26

Added square edged lids for better seals with frames that go completely around the box. This may increase chance of warping while printing. Adding a brim is highly recommended

The designer has replied

@jaggedfel

Aw bummer haha. Well on the bright side your wood box will probably be more durable.

@user_2236757653

hi, super design, I'm thinking of doing the rest of the build with a guided tray for the plastic sheet and a lever to press the sheet on the part.

@jaggedfel

Would love to see it! I made mine so no parts of the frame would have to rest on any part of the box for fear of melting the plastic.

@GGTeimo

Hey one question does the smaller one work for the visors?

The designer has replied

@jaggedfel

Sure does, you might not be able to do as many different ones, but my hell diver visor fits just fine on the 9inch one

@GGTeimo

Replying to @jaggedfel :

okay awesome thank you for the feedback im sadly bound to 256 and dont know anyone else who has a bigger one

@user_572306302

What would something like this be used for?

@user_4052914228

helmet visors, you take some sort of special plastic.print a model of the visor, heat up the plastic then place it on the vacumn former. there are videos online as guides
