I have been working on a Vacuform table and was qurious if the height mattered that much when constructing.
Dimensions:
Length 18"
Width 11"
Height 11.5"
does that sound like it will work alright?

Too tall!
Why are you making it a foot tall.

Just keep in mind than less volume in your box means less air that needs to be sucked out before it starts pulling on your plastic.
