I'm not sure what ABS plastic would do, I used .040" PVC sheet. I had it in a regular electric house oven on the top rack at 350 degrees for about 30 seconds until the PVC drooped down and was rubbery. You can buy the sheets on eBay pretty cheap.
looks like it works just as good as our school fancy one. Only I'm sure the school dumped 2,000 + dollars into it. thanks for posting. very clever do-it-yourself
Would this work with ABS plastic? What did you heat the plastic sheet with? Did you pull it out of an oven off video?
