How to make an Acrylic Bending Machine 

Your guidance is excellent, just loved your video, quite comprehensive.

Great presentation, and a great design. I especially liked the fact that you included the installation of a built-in AC-DC power supply, rather than just telling the viewer to plug it into a bench power supply, then going on to something else. One question I have that no acrylic-bender-builder has bothered to explain so far: what is the purpose of the half-inch aluminum channel that gets mounted in the heating wire slot? Why is it there? What does it do?

Thanks for putting this out there. I was looking for some different for a bender because the other designs wouldn't accommodate what I need to do.

Excellent video. Thank you.

Espectacular trabajo, enhorabuena.

Nice job. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎

Excelente proyecto!

New subscriber always watching your videos ❤ many learnings😊

nice, thank you

Hi, what is the length of your Nichrome Wire when cut and attached on the Aluminum U channel?

Wow! Fantastic build. You probably now have the most attractive acrylic bender in the world. Even if you don't use it enough to justify the cost in time of building it, you can gaze at it with pride. But seriously, it looks great. Did the power supply and wire gauge combination work well? I don't know anything about bending plastic, but I would guess that as long as it gets hot enough without being way too hot, you don't need to adjust the power but instead can just vary the time you hold the plastic over the heat, so there is probably a lot of wiggle room for how much power the wire dissipates, is that right?

beautiful job! where did you buy the spring/what kind is it? I ran into the same problem with ours,, spring not pulling wire enough...and then spring snapped when I pulled it tight!

Excelente, vou fazer uma, qual as medidas da mesa altura comprimento e largura? qual o comprimento usado do fio de níquel cromo?

Hello, thanks for sharing the video. Just want to ask out of curiosity, would it catch fire as i see commercial ones with water pipes and such.

post bend my acrylic starts to crack after a week or so - is it because of overtemp or bending it too soon ?

Great video. I would love to know the specs of the power supply you used please.

U used How mm thin of nikelin wire mr? Tx u

Fiffigt! Tumme upp!

Ser at du också har Bosch pelarborr, skaffade en likande för någon vecka sedan, upplerver du också att där är mycket glappa i chucken? Tycker att mina borr wobblar ganska mycket och känns svårt att få ett hål i centrum av var jag börjar då det gärna vandrar i väg 0.5-1mm i sidled.

Can you get electrified where the exposed cables are?

please share the details of power supply and nichrome wire
