The ultimate guide to make the PERFECT sheet | 2024 

I can think of a few things to optimize production, but with their relatively 'low tech' approach working so well, it'd be difficult to throw anything on other than to boost production rates. Getting rid of bubbles is really quite easy, which is to dry your material, usually for several hours at half of what your molding temperature is running. Now if you want to crank out as many as you possibly could in one day, having water-cooled platens would make a Huge difference. That would be the single largest difference and relatively easy to do, especially if you have access to CNC partners. Pumps don't need ridiculous flow rates (making the operation cheaper) and the water source itself can be recycled over and over without much degradation in a closed loop, as the water is never coming into direct contact with your plastic.

Guys you are amazing❤

The best video about sheet making tips I have ever seen! Great job

this is genius precious indeed good work done

Such an awesome community. I didn't realize it had grown so large! I want to start one of these businesses in the future!

I have to say I loved watching both the videos from TRS great detail on the problems, sort of makes you want to go visit them :)

Thank you so much for this video. Is enlightening. Now I feel like trailing this.

Another great video with very useful information. thanks

Great Video

THank you very much. That was usefull!!

Me laying on the sofa: oh yeah let's watch this video, you never know, i might need to make a plastic sheet tomorrow

Exciting results and style 🔥🔥🔥. I hope to get there one day 🤛

Please share more details on the surfaces of the hot press. What is the thickness? Are you using the same heating elements from the original design?Any details to look for. It would really help people like me who is in the process of building their sheet press set-up

Awesome! Thank you guys. I'ts gonna take me a while to get to such great quality sheets, haha. But I'm not giving up!

amazing one👍👍👍👍👍👍🔥☕

Hello, thank you for such nice video! Could you please tell me the type of silicone you used for preparing the mould?

Satisfaction when something is done perfectly 😌

Brilliant

Helloo Impressive work you've done. What is the minimum and maximum thickness of plastic sheet that can be done

I once worked in a shop that made molds for blowmolding. Those molds had passages and fittings for liquid heating and cooling. Do you have any plans to try that out?

Where can we get plans for the press?

Hello, the cooling press jack for how many tons is it? thank you

Pure GOLD! -or, rather, "pure PLASTIC excellence!"

Great video, may i know how much the machine costs and where it is available

This would be amazing countertop material. These folks are doing brilliant work. ❤

hello how can i get materials/ machines for starting ths busness in our community there are many waste plastics

I'd love to hear some in detail safety information about handling HIPS as we've so far avoided it due to a lack of clarity on that.

Hi, im interested in doing this. What price do these sell for, please? Also, examples of a few types of customers who are buying them. Because I'm concerned that they go to the bigger companies. No?

Bro, love followed your program.lam interested can you come to Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬 in port Moresby and teach me so that we learn from your knowledge.Thankyou, John Pyaso.

awesome video guys! how much do you pump up every 10 mins?

I presume the mold is OVER FILLED, so that applied pressure encourages voids to escape out the sides as the squeeze is applied. Here's what I don't get: once both faces are in contact with the mold frame, no more pressure can be applied... yet, part of their formula for bubble-free sheets involves interval cranking of the hydraulic press.... which would be impossible if the frame mold were in contact with the upper press face. Is the top face of the press never in contact with the frame mold? Is pressure in the mold entirely relying on the viscosity of the the plastic at melt temperature?

I probably missed it, in the last video but what do you do with the final product (the sheets)? just sell it to businesses or do you create thing with them? thank you.

Hi I want to start recycling plastic from my place Kenya. I'm looking for a machine that can work well please help. Thank you

Why use HIPS? It dissolves in water... Kinda why it's used for supports in 3-d printing with PLA...

Where can you buy these sheets?

What type of plastic #? are “hips”?

can you come up with a way for the average person to make sheets themselves. The average person doesnt have the equipment that you do.
