Hey guys, I just got into 3D design, I’ve been using 123D Design and it’s been super easy to get into. My plan is to 3D print a mold that I can then use to vacuum form some ABS plastic. I just wanted to get some feedback and see if anyone had some advice/critisim.
I don’t have any feedback on your enclosures, but there’s something you need to be aware of.
3D Prints wont work for vacuum forming (unless you’re planning on using something that has a glass transition temp of over 200C. When you apply your hot abs to the mold, the mold will get past that glass transition temp and deform.
Trust me, i made this mistake and had to move to the CNC and make the mold out of wood.
If not I’m going to be down to my inlaws during Thanksgiving weekend and my CNC router is in their garage. I can cut it and send it to you if you need.
