Thermoformed PETG housing

This video is a brief overview of the process I used to thermoform/vacuum form a housing from PETG. The stock I used was a 12"x24" sheet of 3/32" PETG. I also tried acrylic which failed miserably (didn't deform nearly enough), and 1/16" PETG which I thought was a little too thin for the application but had a nice deep draw. Oven temperature was 350F for ~5 minutes. Watch the oven closely, because once the material starts drooping from its own weight, it gets soft fast! Standard shop vac with a DIY vacuum table to create the pull. I used a little plastic ring as a spacer underneath my form to make sure my edges were straight all the way down my part. Dremel was used to separate the PETG from the form.

With the 1/16" PETG did you preheat to 350F then 5 minutes? Or?

Hello, thank you for this video. Do you know if is also possible to use a PETG of 3mm (1/8") with this technic? Cheers

Yes, that should be no problem. I suspect the heating will take just a bit longer with the thicker material. Also, you may run into "folding" at sharper corners/deep draws with the thicker material. I suspect you may need to do some experimenting with proper temperature, timing, and mold shape.

Hi! Can I use PET instead of PETG?
@timwong3532
@timwong3532 3 года назад
You could give it a try, I know PET is a fairly common for thermoforming. I haven't tried it myself however, so I would advise doing a little more research on your own before buying materials!

I purchased several sheets from McMaster-Carr. They have a great website and ship fast.
