【3D New Product Alert】Mayku FormBox Vacuum Former, Hot Unboxing!
You've probably noticed that 3DMart's range of equipment has become increasingly diverse lately. In addition to 3D printers, we've also started introducing new desktop equipment like CNC machines and laser engraving machines. Among these, the desktop vacuum former Mayku FormBox is particularly noteworthy. It's designed to work with any household vacuum cleaner (under 2000W) and is very affordable, making it suitable for homes, personal studios, or small-scale manufacturing workshops.
Let's unbox the recently arrived Mayku FormBox. First, check out its introduction video:
After opening the box, you'll see the complete styrofoam packaging. Once the styrofoam is removed, in addition to the FormBox vacuum former itself, there are many accessories bundled together with straps and a black connecting tube. Let's introduce them one by one!
Inside the cardboard box, you'll find a beginner's kit, material introductions, and an instruction manual, among other things. The most special inclusion is a thoughtful small tool, making it convenient for first-time use or testing.
The series of molding templates are at the top of the image. The stepped prototype at the very top can be used as a phone stand or a soap dish after forming. Feel free to try it yourself. We will demonstrate using the mysterious tetrahedron below.
In addition to the instruction manual mentioned earlier, there are also complimentary material sheets and plaster powder, making it convenient for users without 3D printing to create prototypes using casting.
Next is connecting the vacuum cleaner. First, we borrowed a small vacuum cleaner and removed its nozzle. Take out the black connecting tube from earlier. Connect one end to the round socket at the back of the Mayku FormBox. You should feel a slight resistance when inserting the rubber stopper. Fully inserting it ensures a perfect vacuum forming effect.
Then, as you might expect, simply connect the other end of the tube to the vacuum cleaner, and plug the vacuum cleaner's power cord into the socket at the back of the FormBox. Once done, power on the FormBox and turn on the vacuum cleaner to start testing!
First, peel off the film from the molding material sheet and place it in the FormBox to be heated by the heating tube above. Once the desired temperature is reached, the FormBox will give an alert. At this point, press down the material sheet, and the connected vacuum cleaner will automatically activate to achieve the vacuum-formed blister effect.
Our initial attempt was very successful, with the material sheet perfectly covering the tetrahedron. As seen in the video, different materials have different uses, and can be used to make soap, chocolate, food molds, etc. (Further reading: Artisan Chocolate Shop: No need to ask others for food molds!)
Cut out this tetrahedron and place it on your phone to create a 3D "holographic projection." We downloaded a 3D jellyfish that floats dynamically. This first unboxing got everyone excited and successfully engaged. You can try making one yourself too!
Did you enjoy this sharing? Many small manufacturing and processing equipment can complement product production and development. To meet the continuous demand from various sectors and provide more comprehensive industry services, we will continuously release introductions or tests of related technologies for your reference.
