- In this video I make a acrylic bending tool, super useful for getting professional looking bends on plexiglass pieces. This thing is really easy to make and super useful for PC modding, which is what I mostly do. If you have any questions I didn't answer in the video go ahead and ask in the comments and I'll find you an answer!

Thanks for the shout out! Loved the video, really handy tutorial, especially given how overpriced acrylic bending wires tend to be.
I love your videos bro like Dietec...
bit-tech Fair Play Alex, hope you are well. Much love Rich Scooby Thailand. Great vid Dietec as just making one myself.
"When it is bendable - just bend it" Wiser words have never been uttered
Simple, clear, easy instructions, with links to all the needed stuff. Awesome! Well done!
Very helpful.
For others watching, suggest you pre-drill holes if you use MDP as it can split if your screws are close to the edge to the board.
Retired physics teacher here, and this is an outstanding little device! Perfect for building my squirrel feeders and keep the birds out at the same time! Great job lad.
this is pretty cool! one thing I'd add is a protractor though, hot glued or something on the side, with a screw or nail to show at what angle you've bent.
A nice simple but very helpful tool for modders. A perfect tutorial
outstanding work. no extra yakking. just the facts and tips presented clearly and completely. ty
Awesome video dude, absolutely love all the DIY tutorials you do!
Awesomeness hands down.
Thank you for the Vid! I have now built a similar machine but minus the extra baseboard, I just used a 3" ply strip and 4 small ply squares, 2 on each side. I also bought the recommended springs but found them way overpowered and strong, so I used a much softer spring from an Aldi box of assorted springs and it works fine, thank you again :)
Fantastic video! Really makes this DIY project super simple!
Building one of this is definitely in my next to do list!! Thanks for sharing!
Fantastic build, and quality music. Thank you good sir!
Cool build 👍🏻 I’m going to build one soon. Thanks for the video.

Dude. That is awesome. Def gonna make me one of these.
Can't wait for you to mod something with this bender
Fantastic, going to make me one, thinking off incorperating the power supply into the unit, also add in a bend stop so you can set the angle you want to stop at, your an inspiration
Just make a fixture to clamp the bent plastic at the angle you want until it cools
Marvelous!

I just got a Cricut Maker about a month ago and it's been so friggin awesome!!! Def makes my Mods easier and look so much more professional for mods for my channel!!! We're saving up for a house, we anticipate closing around this time next year, but I can not wait till we do. I'm going to build a giant shed sectioned off into 3 sections. My Studio/Editing Workstation - Work Area for all my Tools/An Area to paint - and an area for other stuff like lawn mowers and general storage. I can not wait!!!! Dude when are you going to start posting videos again??? We miss you man!!!! You've been such a huuuge inspiration to me for modding and starting a channel!!

I just stumbled across your video while looking up acrylic bender, and I really like your design a lot. You mentioned looking up Bit-tech's TH-cam channel, saying it wasn't going to be small for very long, but he hasn't uploaded anything for 9 months. He's not going to grow without uploading.
thanks for the video big help regards Allan UK
How kewl is this !
Probably wouldn’t hurt to keep a co2 extinguisher handy (NOT water, lol)
Nice work
Thank you so much.. really helpful ..
