What have we here?
Moderator:Moderators
Oh looks, nows I's haves a Vac-forms tables toos! [/Squizgar]
Not bad for my first time ever vacuum forming, I'd say! The plastic I used is the same stuff I have for sale in my Trading Post thread here: http://forums.benheck.com/viewtopic.php ... 02#p367702" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Next time I will use a heat gun to get the fine little details around the bottom of the buck. My entry for the contest is going to be sweet!

Wha-? Vacuum-forming?! People are putting effort into their contest portables?
Looks like you built that pretty solidly. I like it.

no, now my Radioshack project box is gonna look like crap...
It looks great man, also be careful with the heat gun, I thought It would not be too powerful so watch out. Cant wait to see your entry

Re: What have we here?
ZN-40 is just fine for now.
UNLESS I get the N64 down to sixtyfree lite-R size. THEN I'll vaccuum form.

Your 9th (or whichever one was clear with portrait controls) N64 looked pretty spiffy, and your 2nd GameCube portable.ShockSlayer wrote:Awesome khaag! Now I don't feel alone. Yours looks nicer than mine, but when have I ever made anything nice? XD

Re: What have we here?
Your vacuum table looks nicer than mine, although its the results that matter. You can get just as nice a result from a pretty table or a crap looking table after all!
Nice to see others are making vacuum forming tables now, they are simple to make after all (as I covered in my guide a few months back).
Good!

Re: What have we here?
I'm actually very pleased with the results! Granted, there are a few little things that I will do next time I form something such as cutting the plastic a little bit bigger so it doesn't slip out of the holding frame and reduce suction. Also, using a heatgun for a few "spot-healing" detailing will do wonders.
I will be making a wood mold for my contest entry. Just gotta get all my measurements and design finalized.
