Last night I had my good friends Marcelo and Ken over at my apartment, and we decided to try to put my vacuum forming machine to good use.
Unfortunately, I didn't have the right tools to make a perfect mold, but this was a fun first attempt to see what happens.Basically, I put a sheet of styrene on aluminum foil, and placed it in my oven for 5-6 minutes on 350 degrees.
Once it was done in the oven, I turned on the vacuum, pulled out the styrene, and threw it on top of the Leatherman with the aluminum foil facing up.I also poured water on top of the wood beforehand, so it would form more of an air tight seal.
The result was mediocore, as I really needed a frame to hold the styrene sheet.Also, I need rubber on the edge of the frame, so that it forms an airtight seal when I push down on the vacuum forming machine's platform. Here's the video link in case the video has trouble playing outside YouTube, and the video:
Everything all the time.
I need it, I crave it, and I get a headache without it. Give me art, show me technology, buy me inspiration, invent me entrepreneurialism, create me innovation, and teach me greatness.
