New maker toy coming

Yeah, definitely not so bad for the price.
The other two have built in vacuums so they take up less space .

Wouldn’t this one take up less space because it doesn’t have a vacuum built in?

Hmm… now that I look at the Makyu, this thing seems a little bit… unoriginal?

Still, huge difference in price.

Right? :smiley:

@ChristyM my mistake, Formbox also needs an external vacuum. It’s just VaquForm that has the integrated vacuum. It’s about the same size.

They’re all looking pretty similar.

There aren’t many ways to build one. I’ve thrown out 2 or 3 that I made from scraps in the workshop, they all looked similar. I built each one for a single part (RC model related)…

I built a vacuum forming setup several years ago. Even made the oven. I could form a 24"x30" item. It worked great. Hadn’t used it for a while and needed space for an industrial sewing machine so I threw it all away… the benefit to re-purposing cheap old appliances, you don’t hold attachments to them since they cost less than $50. :slight_smile:
