THE ABOVE FORMERS USE A DIFFERENT HEATER NOW THAT IS MORE CONTROLABLE
This is heat box for vacuum forming made from 6mm MDF and using A 700w horizontal toaster as a heat source and showing a couple of the vacuum formers I make

I haven't found that if you watch the video close the plastic acts more like a sheet of rubber when its still under heat Im not saying it wouldn't happen with different types of plastic but in those cases I would do a couple of test pieces to get an average time and use a digital heat gun
Looks amazing and something I am interested in using, how does the vacuum work, as on the larger setups, they use compressed air.

This system uses a domestic vacuum cleaner they are great for plastics up to 1.5mm thick after that you really need a vacuum pump tank based system to get a strong enough vacuum for thicker materials like 3mm abs often used in storm trooper armour I do make that type of system as well checkout kzread.info/dash/bejne/rKKAsKWycdOumKg.html its a little steam punk and costs around £600 but that's a lot less than a £20.000 commercial system hope this helps Thanks Mike
