This is more a Maker Trade thing than an Off Topic thing.

Also, are you aware the space has a vacuum former? It’s in the PIG SIG annex of the Machine Shop committee.

The default window is 20x20". You might read the manual and/or specs to see how tall it will go. I’d ask Capt, but I’m at work.

The wiki tools page - in the 3D Fab section lists the usable forming area as 17" x 19". There is a link to the tech specs.

The Vacuum former used to be part of 3D Fab, so at least for now it’s listed in that committee.

The Tools page is probably the best place to get information about our tools and capabilities. It’s not 100% up to date but it’s close.
