Testing an $88 Vacuum Former

When I wanted to give my friend, my original Gen 1 Roadie Automatic Tuner, but couldn't find the original box, I decided just to make a new one. And to take the packaging one step further, I though why not do some vacuum forming!?
A few months back I found a listing for a $88 vacuum forming machine. The only other vacuum forming machines that I have seen at the price point are the ones mainly sold to dentist office for making molds of teeth, retainers, etc. Which I have one, and you may have seen me use it in a previous video. But this unit was about twice the size.
To my slight disappointment it did not come with a vacuum, they sell it separately for almost the same price as the vacuum former! Thankfully I already own several shop vacs, and you can get one at Lowes or Harbor Fright for haft the cost... unless you really want one in a matching color.

10:00 That's ANOTHER kind of thermoforming that's also done industrially.

What are the measurements for the vacuuming square?

Nice

[@nickimontie]

Those auto tuners, though...how does it know? 🤔

[@IamNickDClements]

It uses the mic on your phone, (or an internal mic on the newer model) and each time you pluck the string, it compares the frequency of what the string should be against what it is.
