Are there any training classes available for the vacuum forming machine? I’ve got a couple of projects it would be perfect for (RC aircraft nacelles/cowls), but I don’t know how to use it. Any advice on where to get plastic sheets that will work with it would also be much appreciated.
So currently the machine is working, but we don’t yet have classes to teach how it works. I’ve got projects similar to yours and would love to work with you on figuring out the machine.
Sure, I’m game. I’m going to be there this evening for the 3d printer class, and then afterwards to get started on some projects if you’d like to take a look at it with me.
Power for the Vacuum Forming machine has been installed. It is a 3 phase, 50A 208v circuit on the pillar near the machine.
As far as I know no power has been run to it yet. It’s been tested by using the connection for the Colchester lathe, but that cannot be a permanent solution. The lathe has precedence.

Brian, the circuit was finished today. It is hot now.

I’m out for tonight, but I’ll be at Dms most of the weekend. Lots of projects to work on. Hopefully I’ll run into you. If not send me a pm with your contact and we can plan something.
Might be good to have a fan blowing the 500 degree air away from the thermostat on the pillar
