I wanted to see how easy it would be to vacuum form PE plastic from milk bottles and turns out you can. The Temperature and timing need to be adjusted but the first test worked out better than expected. After more experimentation, the vacuum forming process could make great forms.
The Tool is made from PLYwood milled from a CNC machine and a 3D printed vacuum cleaner nozzle. The main PLYwood and 3D printed parts are glued together and the plastic holder is screw together with a PE sheet pushed
