1 hole in a metal platen is better for stronger vacuum. Pegboard and MDF will leak air, no matter how much you seal them.

I know the plastic is going to stretch and ,thin out with taller ,large objects but you still got ALOT of wasted plastic in sections that could utilize smaller low height items. Keep in mind, doing vacuum forming of OTHER projects unrelated to each other too. Not everything on the platen has to be STRICTLY for just that one project. You'll also have less webbing by providing "transition" forms.

So my question is, as I have one of these: 1. Does it occasionally slow down and overheat? 2. Make a noise when it runs where's it SOUNDS like when you prick the tines of a comb? 3. I see it is only pulling 3 cars....yup...mine is a TERRIBLE puller....only 5 or 6 cars MAX. It is a beautiful train....but, the motor and brush design of these old Riv's are absolutely GARBAGE. IF anyone out there has any ideas for improvement...let me know. Great eye candy...but terrible runners.... I also see the front round portion wants to come off to like mine. Shaking my head......but a sigh of relief as it shows me that mine is not the only one with problems....

I only had a few NYC passenger cars at the time, and I haven't tried putting a full load on there. Never had issues with it slowing down and overheating. With only a few cars, there wasn't much load on the engine. Haven't heard unusual comb plucking sounds while running. I bought it used, and it had very little run time.

Can you please answer this question? How do you arrange shrinkage? I have tried abs thermoforming and it shink by 3% which is too much. Is it about fast cooling, over cooling or less cooling? Thank you
@matthewstrait51823 жыл бұрын
ABS can be very tricky to vacuum form, and the rubber content makes it want to shrink more than HIPS The shrinkage is just something you need to compensate for. My parts do not require that level of precision, so I don't worry about it.
@mxferro2 жыл бұрын
You need to vacuum form with larger platen area to compensate for the shrinkage..plus do all you can to ensure equal heating all over the sheet. If that means adjusting your heating element or more numerous smaller hearing units then do that. But uniform heat is the key.

Build-stuff.com has a great set of plans that detail everything you need to build your own! The wood molds were CAD models, CNC cut from MDF. The layers were glued together and smoothed on a belt sander. Oil based spar polyurethane seals the MDF to keep the layers from separating.

The actual vacuum forming table wasn't too expensive to build, maybe around $500 while using a shop vac. The upgrade to a real vacuum pump and tank was another $500.

Hi Lord of Bees! If you're using ABS plastic, you can create "sludge" by shaving bits of ABS into a glass jar, then slowly adding acetone and stirring with a metal screwdriver until it becomes like pancake batter. Then stuff the sludge into the webbing from the inside, and sand the webbing smooth. If you're using HIPS, you might try filling in with milliput or Loctite Repair Putty.
