Speed of sagging media to vacuum and reuse of what you already have, extension really

Nice. My ABS was sagging the same. I can see that has to be faster the switch to vaccum and need a more power heat gun to help it out. Plus ABS for enclosure eos thinker so need more attention. I will see. Thanks for the video.

I made an oven for kydex out of aluminum covered insulation foam and 4 400w heatlamps. It worked like a charm. Took about 3.5minutes to heat 3mm kydex.

Fantastic. That what I need! Did you make a post about it?

No I didn’t, but I can write up a list for you, it was super easy to make and you can make it what ever size or number of lamps you want.
Also probably cost about $100? Maybe a little more or less, the heat lamps are the expensive part.

I’ve watched a ton of kydex vids, almost all of them help it out with a heat gun and a piece of timber to help the hard edges get definition

You should definitely make a thread about it and encourage people to post their setup. It will be a hit thread.

For sure, I’ll share the write up as a post, but that’s the only picture I have of it. I ended up not needing it anymore and sold it.

Well. I would still read it 
Ho nooooo >.<
Yes, don’t geave up too quick ! you alrady got a good setup (to me ^^ yes ok I don’t know that much, but you make some tools for this !).
Hope the next ty will be the good one

// really insterested too with those abs vaccum thing, I think it could be a good solution for my fender instead of 3D print 
I think once you get it right allows you to make a lot of nice things, since you can also use 3D printed molds in case of few forming needed. I am gonna buy another heater, unmount it and make a unique bigger one. Then mount it on top and the ABS underneath. That is a more classic setup so hope it will work next time. I will have 8 heating elements for 3200W. I hope the electricity won’t drop in the apartment

This is all temporary until the choo choo board is ready for group buy, but I’m curious about these 60kv Mad Furys and bergmeisters.
Since @rey8801 is too busy filling GB orders to build his own board ;), I thought I’d throw something together.
Progress so far:
Should be ready for maiden ride tomorrow, first time for me for pneumatics. I’m sure I’ll lose half the screws as usual

Underground workshop or meth lab?

And a PhD. Yeh I am well organised let’s say, but there are period of the year where I can dedicate more at the MAD Lab stuffs for maybe 2 months, as I just did it, and then I am completely blocked for months to come. Let’s say that I don’t sit that much I can’t remember the last time I spent time on a couch. For the people around me, I am the mad, not what I do 
The workshop it’s in the basement and part in the garage. Then time to time moves on the street or in the garden
