    I just did a quick calculation, and if an egg is 1.5" across at its widest, and 2.25" long, it has a surface area of 9.57 square inches. http://www.ehow.com/how_5515340_estimat ... a-egg.html
    If that vacuum were only reducing the pressure by 1/4 atmosphere (3.5 psi) then that's the equivalent of compressing on the egg with 33.5 pounds of pressure. No wonder it went splat. :eek:

    Dorsal that's awesome! You guys amaze me with some of the calculations you come up with, I love it :D Thank you for sharing this. I have been wondering how much pressure this thing could pull. Even with this little vacuum it does a great job.
    One thing that I tried was to take the vacuum filter out and you get even more pull pressure! :)
    Last night show I forgot to take it out so that means that little vacuum is more then enough.

    ?? Reverse gear to un-crush an egg? And call it the "Humpty-Dumpty Gear" ?
    Or a reverse gear on the vacuum, to blow the mold off the part after forming it? :lol:

    Here's a quick video we did tonight playing with the Phlatformer :)
    It shows more closeup shots of how it works.
    Hope you like it

    It slices! It dices! It chops and it mops!!! :lol:

    Seriously, great video. It shows details that you can't see on the live show. I have plans to order one before you guys get back from Toledo and start cutting.

    Great, thanks 7up!

    rcav8r, clean up would have been MUCH easier. Maybe we'll have to boil and dye some eggs and give it another try :)

    Mark,

    I am wondering if the preasure will crush a foam 3d model master.
