I tried this method because I didn't want to make a vacform machine. But a vacform box with suction would probably work better.

Let me share mine: Heat source: Vacuum source: Ventilated plate: Frame to hold plastic sheet: Didn't cost a lot. It doesn't do big parts, I don't often need big parts: You'll work out an equally ingenious way of doing this - it's worth the effort Richard D.B.

Dandiego Posted May 8, 2020 Author Share Posted May 8, 2020 (edited) Slow going right now. My experiment with the canopy and the plastic bottle did not yield the results I was looking for. So will need to find another way. However I do have some progress on the tail surfaces. Here are the flying surfaces and the scabbed on vertical stabilizers. And some cutouts for the aux air intakes.

Chek Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Nice rig Dan. Except I don't know how you can be arsed with all those bolts on the plastic holder frame. I use four or six large office spring Bulldog clips which work fine, although a spring loaded one touch frame would be even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
