Do not turn the vacuum off immediately. If you use 2 vacuums turn one off and cool the part with compressed air or with a water sprayer. I went to the struggle you went through building panels for my off-roader , so I feel you , fast cooling of the part is the way to go for perfect molds. Good luck!!!
Another great video. So cool to see your son helping. I cant believe how many modifications you have made to this contraption so far, you are nothing if not persistent.
thanks Austin...the wife thinks I'm more crazy/stupid then persistent..😅 And I'm making other big changes to the oven box, I've got some good ideas from the comment section that I'll apply pretty soon!
Merci Hervé! Attends de voir le résultat final, j'ai pas encore fini la parte et je ''capote'' déjà! Oups, je l'ai écris en francais....ca va prendre un petit Goggle traduction 😅
Hey thanks Marco, FYI: RUclips notice all the ''youtubers'' of the latest comments made on their videos, no regards on the date of release. It's like a giant list of comments, ranked from newest to oldest.
I know they use thin Acrylic sheets to vacuum form hot-tubs, baths and shower trays and shower cubicles but they they add strength/rigidity with CSM (fibreglass). I would love to vacuum form some vehicle parts but I think i'm going to be building them fibreglass parts. If I could master vacuum forming I could mass produce the part much faster. When they mass produce larger vacuum form parts they never move the frame holding the acrylic. They heat the acrylic while it sits above the plug/form. Then they either raise form or lower the acrylic down over form/plug. As soon as you remove the plastic sheet from the heat it starts to cool. P.s I am routing for your completed parts to come out nice.
Andrew is correct. I think the whole machine needs to be integrated and provided with more control. The heater needs to be at the top using Nickel/Chromium resistance heating wire. It heats the ABS mostly by radiant heat. Temperature control is easy using voltage supply. Once the ABS softens and drops over form/plug you start the vacuum from below using a vacuum pump with a pressure regulator. Everything can be controlled, heat, drop and vacuum. Good luck.
Have you thought of a way to heat the plastic from the top and then just drop the frame down straight onto the form? Seems like the transfer of plastic takes too long, the temperature is too cold and or your system us not strong enough to fully vaccum form the larger parts.
frankly I completely give up on this machine, I did found ways to get better results...but none the less, I prefered go with carbon fiber, which I will start next spring. And bwt, the vaccum was more then ennough when the plastic temp was just right, I even had to use only 1 shopvac instead of the 3
Hi Viny. I must say that this is the most pleasant and a bit unique quebec english accent I've heard. I would venture to guess Sherbrooke (because i haven't heard people from there), but really curious to where you're from.

Now I understand your wife i think! You dont give up?! - Luckely for us , so we have someone to laugth about then you doing a foul out of your self.......and you give back then you make it! Sometimes then I saw your doing the molding, I think you loosing some of the heat- to fast in the Cannadian winter... mabye have a railling system type...Mabye a bad idea, just thinking.... good to see you, I would like to see you every week! Good luck!
I though about the railling system, not much for the heat, but just because I have to DRAG my son in the shop to give me an hand! kinda a paine 🤷♂️ And no, I never give up, I can't! otherwise none of that RUclips thing wouldn't happen in first place! Or I'm stupid..maybe a bit of both! 😅
11:00 I was wondering, can you put some sort of metal mesh screen under the ABS to keep it from drooping down? I understand that it might leave a grid pattern on the inside of the plastic mold, but that shouldn't matter should it? Just a thought. Seems easier than your hot air recycle system. I don't know how pliable the plastic is when that hot and if it would stick to the mesh, and that is why you didn't try it, but it is the first solution I thought of when I saw your drooping ABS theory.
I see 2 mistakes: 1. You are a bit too slow transfering the piece and starting the vacuum 2. You need to leave the vacuum on until the piece is cold. Otherwise I enjoyed your vid as first time viewer!

Try to use electric heater from the upside directly from the place with template. Like a sample you can see halogen lamps usage ruclips.net/video/sFxgyfQhRPk/видео.html
Your kid helping and being excited about the first good part is amazing
Oh yeah, great moment right there!

What an amazing problem solving skils my friend
thanks! 👌
Very entertaining and it seems your son enjoyed it to.
Well done. I still like how you show your struggles and your processes.
thanks, glad you appreciated it! If you can learn one thing or two from my mistake/stubborness, glad I made the video in this format! 👍
I like the fact that you do not give up!
Me too! 😅 but it was about time.😉
Really cool machine, very entertaining to watch! excited to see all the parts that get made.
This video’s ending was perfect. Well done Viny.
Glad you liked it!
Just found your channel while on a search of the smart Busas. I’m hooked. You definitely have a set of skills
Beautiful process
Salut Viny👋
Still very Clever.....
And very pleasant to watch
Thank you ♥️

thanks,, the fails help as much as the win with the learning process
Hey thanks man! Failures are part of the journey!
When u find a master of a discipline u have found someone who made alot of mistakes.
I'm loving your videos mate-keep them coming:)
I'm trying...😅
awesome series mate ! deserves a lot more subs for sure
Thanks Dyllan, glad you enjoyed it! 👍
🙂 fajna robota z panelami. Pozdrowienia z Polski. 🇵🇱
Dziękuję Ci! 👍
Thats amazing well done Sir
Thank you! Cheers!
That's great it seemed to work pretty freakin good
It's gettin better and better!
Great video as always!
Glad you enjoyed!
Ce cool d'etre difficile pis perfectioniste, ca fais de belles bebelles 😊
Moi si moi si j'en veux une
Awesome guy !
Thanks
J'aime bien ton kid qui t'aide !!!
Moi aussi! 😅 Mais il ne vient vraiment pas souvent, je dois l'arracher de Minecraft pour qu'il me donne un coup de main!
@@VinyB57 Hey on est des vendu Minecraft ici :D Mais autant de mecanique :D
Thank you for your research.

Try buying the fans used in the pot-industry. They are made for high temps. and not too expensive. A friend told me ; )
Thanks man, I'll have a look! 👍
Air bleed valve on the vacuum and a heat gun for those areas that need a bit more heat
Oh! Shit....the valve is a great idea Brad! 👍 For real, I should try it before forming all the other panels!
very fun watch subbed :D
Thanks mate! 👍👍
Leave the vacuum on until it cools off OMG 😱 you can pour water on it to make it set up quicker
Hi Viny.
I must say that this is the most pleasant and a bit unique quebec english accent I've heard.
I would venture to guess Sherbrooke (because i haven't heard people from there), but really curious to where you're from.
No Im from Quebec
@@VinyB57 awesome.
I'll be visiting Quebec city the weekend after next.
@@VinyB57 j'ai pas l'habitude de parler en anglais quand je suis à Quebec, peut être c'est pour ça que j'ai pas entendu l'accent auparavant.
Heureux de tomber sur votre canal.
Genial
Now I understand your wife i think! You dont give up?! - Luckely for us , so we have someone to laugth about then you doing a foul out of your self.......and you give back then you make it!
Sometimes then I saw your doing the molding, I think you loosing some of the heat- to fast in the Cannadian winter... mabye have a railling system type...Mabye a bad idea, just thinking.... good to see you, I would like to see you every week!
Good luck!

Why not heat from the top and vacuum from the bottom, with the mould in the middle, raisable into the sheet ?
11:00 I was wondering, can you put some sort of metal mesh screen under the ABS to keep it from drooping down? I understand that it might leave a grid pattern on the inside of the plastic mold, but that shouldn't matter should it? Just a thought. Seems easier than your hot air recycle system.

😂çok çalışmanız lazım çoook😂
could you use a blowrorch on some of the creases when pulling vac?
Yeah, gonna try with a heat gun and see if I can help colder areas...
@@VinyB57 maybe one of them weed blow torches, be a little more gentle
I knew I heard this accent before. Deja Vous.
Yep! Can get rid of that accent! 😅
Premier prix de persévérance :D
Au moins j'ai gagné qq chose ! 😁🥇🏆
What type of plastic/material are you using for this?
ABS
But they deform by heat and cold, right?
L'anglais avec la bonne accent Québecois 😅😂
Yesser mon Pat! 👌
Every 100 lb dropped is a tenth of a second dropped in the quarter!
Ouuuuhh...nice rule of thumb! 👍😁
Do u still use your diy car tilt lift ???
Yes, but not for the smart, only for my daily driver. The Smart is to small for it!
What happened to the fan at the end?
melted in seconds! 🤦♂
I admire how you bravely show for all to see how clueless you are. This was the worst example of vacuum forming I've ever seen.
🤣 It was my best attempt tho🤦♂️
Lmao rip tiny fan, 5 minutes 😂
yep..😥
Can you vacuum form me a 67 vw bug rear lid from plexiglass...$$$$
I hate so much vacuum forming that I stopped forming parts! 😅 So yeah...sorry but no!
I see 2 mistakes:
1. You are a bit too slow transfering the piece and starting the vacuum
2. You need to leave the vacuum on until the piece is cold.
Otherwise I enjoyed your vid as first time viewer!
Glad you enjoyed it! I hated this process! 😅
Move to Florida 😖🥲😅
That would be cheaper to make from carbon
IMPOSSIBLE....it's 20$ a piece and less if it's a small part....and it's in Canadian money..so about 0.75$ USD 😉🤦♂️
