Love it that u used the form 2 for the commercial. Best printer ever
A bit expensive, but darn it looks interesting!
Thanks for the feedback, we do offer a payment plan option to help spread the cost of the investment.
Indeed, there are so many DIY about this. In my country I found it for €630 for just a few mechanical parts and a heating element? You still need to hook up your own vacuum.
@PhreshFunk Hello, yes they are! It's easy to repair if anything does happen to go wrong and we are able to provide parts. The FormBox Starter Kit also comes with a 2 year warranty and access to our support team, we'd be delighted to help you grow your business. A lot of our customers are small-medium craft or handmade businesses working from small studios or homes. If you'd like to learn more send us an email to hello@mayku.me or visit our website www.mayku.me
Amazing stuff! So glad we can get our hands on one now.
pregunta que tiempo de filamento debo usar para hacer la pieza en 3d y poder termoformar
Great work team. Viva la revolution.
This is beautiful. How can I learn how to use the Mayku form box?
What’s the different Between this and the multiplier
What is the best vacuum to use ??
Hi, waht kind of Film is that? A-PET or BO-PET? or another?
Very intresting!
You can get a number of different plastics for it. HDPE, PETG, ABS, etc
Does clear PETG turn white when over heated?
Yes it can do. If you're vacuum forming it's best not to overheat your sheets as it can cause problems with the finish and accuracy of your shape. You can start forming as soon as you see the sheet start to bend.
What kind of vacuum do you recommend for this process?
Hi Kimberley, you can use almost any vacuum cleaner that's under 2000 watts and has a hose and manual on/off switch. Works with most household vacs as well as Workshop style vacs too. If you have any further questions you can get in touch here: www.mayku.me/pages/ask-a-question
Yes, seen this
Just what we need for the enviroment! You should give a solution for the lefovers. Only then, it would be a today's product.
Hi Javier, all the sheets are recyclable with your normal recycling when you have finished with them, although you can get many uses out of one sheet. The sheets are also made of a percentage of recycled plastics. We are developing full compostable options as we work towards a sustainable future.
@@TeamMayku As you may know, most of those plastic leftovers that are not labeled as packaging and are through to recicle will never be recicled and will remain in landfills to be burned. However I am glad to hear that you are working towards a greener future!
Any expierences from someone here to elaboratE? it looks like what this can do i can also achieve with a heated paint gun and vacuum? Can it draw porous materials also? anyone tried multiple plies/layers how did that work?
Can this use eco friendly and biodegradable materials, or does just create more plastic waste? Looks super cool though!
We're working on creating more eco-friendly sheets, but makers are more than welcome to source their own if they can, we just can't guarantee you'll get perfect results on materials we've not tested. Our sheets are recyclable and reusable, so you could get hundreds of uses out of each mold before it's no longer working optimally. 😊
If i need to make a mold of a tall template .. what is the max height of the template that can be used
We recommend not making something taller than it is wide, although you can experiment with two part molds to achieve different shapes and sizes. We have some articles on our site that explain more: www.mayku.me/blogs/news/how-to-design-for-vacuum-forming-and-mold-making-with-agustin-arroyo
You might have to build that template in sections. I think what might happen is that, the longer the stretch, the more susceptible the heated material will be to breaking at, or near the top of the design, since most of the pressure will be at that point. Sort of like trying to stretch a balloon over a sharp, narrow object. So yeah... there's a good reason for that rule of thumb.
What is the maximum thickness of the thermoforming sheet?
Works best up to 1.5mm, you can find out more on the spec here: www.mayku.me/pages/tech-specs
Wow
Hi, this sounds very intresting i print in PLA on my 3d Printer, and wanting to make chocolate moulds. what paper would be best?
Hi Kevin, all of our current Sheets are food safe. A lot of our chocolatiers prefer the clear ones, you might like the new 1mm Clear Sheet as it's more rigid making it closer to a polycarbonate texture. Let us know if you have any other questions!
@@TeamMayku thank you. One of my models is 204mm will you release a bigger one at all ?
There are some expensive ones and some small ones in the work area. I saw a bigger one on Amazon
Have you seen our new machine, the Multiplier?
Can I pour resin and use it?
Which sheet paper should I use if possible?
Please tell me..
Hello there! We've recently launched Resin Sheets made of LDPE which are ideal for making resin molds. Some resins are possible in the existing sheets but you'll have a much better experience with the Resin Sheets. Let us know if you need connecting with a retailer: www.mayku.me/collections

@@TeamMayku Hello, was there eventually an answer to this question?
@@boringNW Would be good to know more detail of the project so we can advise. We have had customer layer sheets on top of each other in order to create a thicker or smoother finish. Send us a contact request if you'd like to learn more: www.mayku.me/pages/specialist?TH-cam

Hello! The RRP is £599 in the UK, but if you want to let us know where you are based we can give you an exact quote. Complete this form on our website to connect with a specialist in your region: www.mayku.me/pages/specialist
Just got an add for this and was like “oh that’s really cool!” Then saw the price.... i could make my own vacuform with a plastic box and a cheap vacuum cleaner with the added benefit of having a vacuum cleaner! Old tech for a lot of money... thanks but I’ll pass and use the cheap, dirty but just as effective method.
Fair enough, thank you for your feedback, we are sorry you feel that way.
Yes you could build your own at home, however, the Formbox is fully safety certified and comes with a starter kit of 40 sheets, 1kg of casting material and 3 templates to start creating straight out of the box.
It has a unique sheet clamping mechanism, an automatic hoover switch and socket that controls any vacuum cleaner plugged in, automatically. It also has a 1000W custom ceramic heater and the built in timer and temperature dial allows accuracy and precision in forms.
You will also get unlimited access to a library of projects, support from Master Makers at Mayku and a comprehensive 2 year warranty.
Mayku don’t get me wrong, I still think it’s cool and would love to have one, but for me it isn’t practical enough to warrant the cost, I like making miniatures but I’m also on a tight budget. The ad got me really excited but the price was a bit of a shock😣
Yeah, I'm with you on that. For what they consist of, I've never understood why all vacuum forming machines are so expensive. I can only guess it's a supply and demand sort of thing. You've basically got a toaster oven with a platen for around $700. I do the same thing with a $90 toaster oven and home made frame and platen box.
@@ElationProductions Why stop there? you could probably make your own toaster oven
very neat, but WOW is this expensive...
Hi Billy, thanks for the comment. A lot of work went into the design of the FormBox to make it safe, practical and easy to use. Every FormBox also comes with enough Sheets to make up to 40 custom molds, 1 kg of casting material, 3 sample models to get you making immediately, excellent technical support and a online global community to help you on your maker journey, all that PLUS a 2 year warranty.
@@TeamMayku I'm sure you did, but man, $700? And you're still expected to provide the vacuum? That's just nuts.
This is so amaziiing, someone could be a billionaire from making their own products from this product
Thanks for the comment! You can check out some examples of businesses using the FormBox already here: www.mayku.me/blogs/stories
Just buy a dental one with a lot more powerfull air pression ( so more detail) for like 70-100$ max, but for small pieces. In 2016, this company was like it would cost 350$, not its...double price. Beside this, good idea for people who want to creat in a minute a simply design (more like mold for chocolate, soap, silicone or gummy)
Hi Rima - The FormBox is a high powered machine with a 1000W ceramic heater, a 200x200mm bed. It also comes with 30 sheets of free material, 3 starter projects, 1kg of Mayku Pour for casting and access to our online community. Along with our 2 Yr warranty we believe the price is fair. But thank you for your comments - as some people may only need to make things that are a few centimetres long and for them a dental unit may be the right choice.
For such a high price, the working area is very small
Have you seen our new machine? ;-)

that's nothing new! dental laboratories are using those devices for mouth guards and others for years now. I see no point in having this, overpriced as hell. want one? do to dental lab supply shop.
i don't speak english very well....what i have to digit to find what are you talking about?

Slightly over 100 quid usually but I bet you can find bigger industrial ones for not much more
The dental ones have a max size of 5 inches by 5 inches. Not very big. Wouldn't serve my needs, that is for sure. The mayku extends that to 8x8 which may not be huge but for me it makes the difference between being the the right size or too small.
But yeah excellent machine I can't buy it

So, you want $820 for something that can be constructed from materials that would barely cost 10$ overall? Just some wood box for decoration, a couple of screws and a couple of sheets of plywood Drill holes in it, glue it together, and you are done. That's all you'll need. All that _can_ be costly in this is just the heating element. And you don't need it, since your oven can heat to greater temperatures that's necessary for any formable plastic.
Noyt if you want to use it for your small business. Who wants to have to keep warming sheets of plastic up in the over? I'd never get anything done if i had to do that.
@@EazyColours
If you want business, you'd buy (or build) a proper cheap vacuum machine and stick it into the garage or something. Still would be cheaper than this.
Hi Darth - We believe that the 1000W ceramic heater, inbuilt time and temperature controls, three starter projects, 1kg of free Mayku casting material, 30 free sheets and access to our global community of makers make the machine a bargain at the RRP of $699 USD. The FormBox is more affordable than other similarly sized machines on the market and achieves industrial quality forms every time. Just ask any one of our thousands of happy customers! :)
Too expensive
