Is this toxic? Should we be venting someway or using gas masks? We breathed in a considerable amount of this gas, should we be worried?

It looks like it works fantastically.
I was wondering, which vacuum unit should I get? Does it have to be powerful? How powerful should it be for pulling plastic, hmm... about 1/16" thick?]]> 1 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 10:48:28 +0000 http://www.phlatforum.com/xenforo/threads/materials.2853/ http://www.phlatforum.com/xenforo/threads/materials.2853/ invalid@example.com (flavegt) flavegt I want to know what materials can be used in the Phlatformer, besides the sheets provided in the kit. What is the thickest sheet that can be formed? I'm interested in buying a Phlatformer to make bowls or caps, maybe an ice tray.

Also, can you vacuum form PLA in the Phlatformer?

After some experimenting with various methods recommended by others in the field, I found this one to work the best...

Before you load your plug, be sure to apply a liberal amount of baby powder over it to help release the part after forming.

Heat the plastic till it sags about 2" and then swing the arm over your part and press down without applying vacuum.

Take a...

I was thinking about this today as many of the inital pulls are just test and not a final one.

Just did not want to waist all my testing on the good styrene.]]> 4 Sun, 02 May 2010 12:33:11 +0000 http://www.phlatforum.com/xenforo/threads/new-phlatformer.1485/ http://www.phlatforum.com/xenforo/threads/new-phlatformer.1485/ invalid@example.com (Chuck) Chuck

Does it come with the heat source?

What is the cost of the plastic?

Where do I get replacement stock?

Does the vacuum unit come with it? If not, what size unit is required and what are the specs for the hose connection?

Sorry for all the questions. They may have been covered elsewhere, but I have not had time to follow the discussions lately.]]> 3 Sun, 25 Apr 2010 13:10:35 +0000 http://www.phlatforum.com/xenforo/threads/phlatformer-fun-machine.1200/ http://www.phlatforum.com/xenforo/threads/phlatformer-fun-machine.1200/ invalid@example.com (kram242) kram242 Hey guys just wanted to give a place to share your ideas and opinions on the new Phlatboyz machine the PhlatFORMER
Here is the video and some pictures from the live PhlatLAB show where we build and show case prototype #1 of the PhlatFORMER

We have to say that we are super happy the way this tool turned out for a first prototype especially with all the new features added and tried for the first time. The next phase will be testing and experimenting with different materials and heat...
