See the blog post on the main site. The Hive's new VacuForm machine has arrived. It is a CentroForm EZForm LV 1827. There are two 1500 watt (3000 watt total) fused 110VAC 15A heaters built into the top. The two power cords should be plugged into separate 15A circuits.The plastic sheet size is 20-14" x 30-1/4" and the forming area is 18" x 27" with 9-11" depth of draw based on mold geometry. Typical forming plastics include styrene and ABS in .020" to .040" and even .090" thicknesses. It came with a formed test sheet example. A starter tool project page has been created on the Wiki [link]. Show up at an upcoming meeting and join the team that will complete the installation and determine the start-up and certification procedures for this new tool. JimD

So at maximum space its roughly a little over 3 cubic feet if you have a very large object to form over. Decent bit of room....(thumbs up). With the heaters, maybe a 240V 50 amp circuit ran someplace wouldn't be a bad thing to have to run it. You could split the 240V in a control cabinet to feed the heaters and vacuum source on a cart perhaps.

I'm late to this party but saw the machine yesterday. What exactly are we after to get it working? I saw the note about a vacuum supply but can't tell what we need. I have about a million projects in mind and might be able to help.
