Homemade vacuum forming a helmet

[demnlordd666]

now that looks cool as hell, how thick is the plastic you are forming there? cause though it is sweet shaped, for my project I would require definite durability not just show. could you also use this type of material for rc cars body?  that stuff can be quite thin. also have you tried 1/8" plexi? I have a few sheets it just laying around so that would be nice for me if it worked. thanks, get back to me if you can.

One question, how do you get the plexiglass (or plasic) off of the form?

[frederic129]

@HyperSniperCo many plastics are heat formable. you can put the plexiglass in an oven and heat it up untill it gets like paper.

[HyperSniperCo]

@frederic129 thank you!

@HyperSniperCo What would cause it to stick to the mold? it was just drawn around the mold by vacuum

[HyperSniperCo]

@ted850760 Sorry, I was used to uncured resined fiberglass (looks like it doesnt it?) But I get it now. Thank you.
