In this video I make a acrylic bending tool, super useful for getting professional looking bends on plexiglass pieces. This thing is really easy to make and super useful for PC modding, which is what I mostly do. If you have any questions I didn't answer in the video go ahead and ask in the comments and I'll find you an answer!

Thanks for the shout out! Loved the video, really handy tutorial, especially given how overpriced acrylic bending wires tend to be.

bit-tech Fair Play Alex, hope you are well. Much love Rich Scooby Thailand. Great vid Dietec as just making one myself.
"When it is bendable - just bend it" Wiser words have never been uttered
Retired physics teacher here, and this is an outstanding little device! Perfect for building my squirrel feeders and keep the birds out at the same time! Great job lad.
Simple, clear, easy instructions, with links to all the needed stuff. Awesome! Well done!
Very helpful. For others watching, suggest you pre-drill holes if you use MDP as it can split if your screws are close to the edge to the board.
this is pretty cool! one thing I'd add is a protractor though, hot glued or something on the side, with a screw or nail to show at what angle you've bent.
A nice simple but very helpful tool for modders. A perfect tutorial
Great tutorial! Built mine a few days ago, but I finaly got my power supply delivered today. I'm thinking about making a psu shroud, wish me luck! :D
outstanding work. no extra yakking. just the facts and tips presented clearly and completely. ty
Awesome video dude, absolutely love all the DIY tutorials you do!
Thank you for the Vid! I have now built a similar machine but minus the extra baseboard, I just used a 3" ply strip and 4 small ply squares, 2 on each side. I also bought the recommended springs but found them way overpowered and strong, so I used a much softer spring from an Aldi box of assorted springs and it works fine, thank you again :)
Building one of this is definitely in my next to do list!! Thanks for sharing!
Fantastic build, and quality music. Thank you good sir!
Fantastic video! Really makes this DIY project super simple!
You've a buncha really resourceful tricks, thanks for sharing this'll help alot.
Subbed, I watched your stuff for a while now... love your stuff. Keep up a good work! Is so nice to watch!
Nice video. Straight forward and simple. Thanks.
Thank you for this video... this is a task I will complete to make some prototype projects!! Thank you 😊
Awesomeness hands down.
I am gonna build this for in my workshop! Thanks for the tutorial!
This is cool stuff. This is a better way of bending acrylic than what I do. thanks for sharing
I just got a Cricut Maker about a month ago and it's been so friggin awesome!!! Def makes my Mods easier and look so much more professional for mods for my channel!!! We're saving up for a house, we anticipate closing around this time next year, but I can not wait till we do. I'm going to build a giant shed sectioned off into 3 sections. My Studio/Editing Workstation - Work Area for all my Tools/An Area to paint - and an area for other stuff like lawn mowers and general storage. I can not wait!!!! Dude when are you going to start posting videos again??? We miss you man!!!! You've been such a huuuge inspiration to me for modding and starting a channel!!
Great video! You are really making it look easy. I hope you will upload more vids soon.
My new favorite DIY video
much tx. been looking all over for a decent perspex diy bender
Thank you for this video.. I'm DEFINITELY making myself a bender in the near future.
Brilliant video, going to make my own 1:8 scale display cases as they are expensive.
That was brilliant. Thank you for doing this.
This looks really useful! Much more elegant than heat gun ;)
Cool build 👍🏻 I’m going to build one soon. Thanks for the video.
Great job and video too. Thanks for sharing!
Fantastic, going to make me one, thinking off incorperating the power supply into the unit, also add in a bend stop so you can set the angle you want to stop at, your an inspiration

Just make a fixture to clamp the bent plastic at the angle you want until it cools
Excellent! Thanks for the vid.
I didn't know I needed this until today.... Thank you
Just what i was searching for! Great idea & great video. Thx a lot!
This is pretty ingenious. Thanks!
Good job, man, I'm Brazilian and I love casemod, you have + 1 entered
I just stumbled across your video while looking up acrylic bender, and I really like your design a lot. You mentioned looking up Bit-tech's KZread channel, saying it wasn't going to be small for very long, but he hasn't uploaded anything for 9 months. He's not going to grow without uploading.
Thanks...Straight to the point.
Very Nice Set-Up and Easy To Make.
Thank you. What a great idea!

pretty cool build, definitely worth it if you work a lot with acrylic, I guess I stick to a heat gun tho for the 2 bends I wanna make..
Thank you. Very Helpful.
thanks for this great video
Been looking for a power supply like that for ages. Nobody, including Google, seemed to know what I was talking about. I thought those things stopped being made. Thanks. Liked your video. Bender is a bit crude. But, what the heck, it gets the job done. Bottom line.

I myself use a car/mc battery charger at minimium current setting (3 amps/12 volts) meaning about 80watts on the nichrome wire. Works great.
