Acrylic bending table

no issue here, we don't fix any date for now,and we need to find retailer who have these, and we fixe any date and you need to wait, no issue,

If you go to "Amazon.ca" you will find it there. It's only 50-95 cents a foot, but need to buy a minimum of at least 25 feet.

The 16ga Nichrome, that is.

I finally ordered everyting to make one

100' of nichrome wire 26g
aluminum 1.2" "U" chanel (72cm long)
a box of assorted springs
1/2" plywood
a lot of screw

now , need to know if I can power this little toy with a old regular 700watt psu on the 12v or 5v, hope the protection on psu will not activate, if not work , need to find a good one, maybe a regulated one , but want keep the project at very low cost

for now I'm at around $55 with tax and shipping include, want to keep it low for all other who want one
will try it very soon and let you know and if work, will do a little video

Hey you have any spare nichrome lying around

[Hooded]

You can run the power through an cheap old fan controller so you don't blow PSU. This will let you get perfect temp on wire as well.

[snef]

ohhh yeah great idea, but do you think its enough, a 30w fan controller, its a bit over 2 amp, i read somewhere need 4 to 5 amp

but i will tryn for sure

[Hooded]

A 50 Watt/channel Fan controller will give you 4amps. You would need a 60 watt rheostat @ 12 volts to get to 5 amps.

Put me down for the group-buy, been thinking of making one for a while now and many hands make for light work

Could maybe look into designing mount-holes to also mount tube mandrels? Might not be practical with it being plywood I suppose
