DIY Vacuum Form

If you've ever wanted to create a quick one sided mold, a nice case for your latest electronics project, a handle for that raygun, or a body for that RC robot that's lurking around the garage you've probably wanted to use the magical powers of vacuum forming. In this class we'll put together our own vacuum forming jigs using laser cut parts (provided with the class) and learn to use them. We'll use some heat guns and the assistance of a shop vac to get everything working and we'll all come back with awesome little plastic replicas that will impress even the most discerning IRC channel. Everyone will take back their own vacuum forming jig but will need a vacuum cleaner and a heat gun to operate it at home.
