Tutorial on plastic box building. If you have any questions, please add your questions to comments below and I will answer as best I can. Sac Makers Academy sacmakers.com
damn first time I see someone that knows what they're doing, I work at a custom acrylic fabrication company and I see a lot of videos giving wrong info. good work dude
actually only the right filament needs to be bought (so you use a batery or something and use it to heat the material, some heat gun could work aswell, however is not recomended as it works better with the same temperature on all the joint or it could get deformed) Anything else could be made with wood, or use more primitive sanding tools... also you could give the chamfers a transparent look if you did sanded it roughly with a torch, even one 4 cooking should work)
All you really need is a scoring tool you can get at Home Depot, the right glue and a torch tool wise. The jig is necessary though.. I make displays at work and it can be done with hand tools, a bit slower but...
as someone who has lost a digit to a tablesaw, this was hard to watch. I really don't understand someone not using a push stick, especially cutting down this small. eeep!
Curious about the details of the trim-flush fence for the router. It says details in the description, but not seeing them. Am I missing something obvious?
Hey! I was using a 3/4" Trim Flush Router bit with a standard barring. Hope that helps! Nothing fancy. Just needs to ride along wall and trim off the panel that has been glued to the bended panel.

I hope you are looking forward to a trip to the ER. The method of cutting with your (R) hand between the material, straight edge and blade is extremely dangerous. You should be using a block of wood to hold work straight without putting yourself in danger. I sincerely hope this tragedy never happens.
+Norman Featherston Your first and last sentences nearly contradict eachother. If you turn on annotations, the video mentions the dangers and suggests guards.
I agree. But almost 7 years later I still have 10 fingers. Freedom to create in the manner in which we choose is truly a blessing. I don't remember making a tutorial on using a table saw. :)
It's a table saw with a carbide tipped saw blade. You can buy them at Home Depot. Not Professional Grade Unobtainium. They're pretty ordinary if you actually go out and look.
@@tomm1968 Yeah I ended up getting one, it fits nicely in the middle of my tiny NYC studio apartment. However, I use it as sa surface to score the acrylic sheets with a knife and cut it that way. Otherwise it wakes up the baby.
Thank you very much,this is exactly what I have been looking for to display my Pop vinyls out of box! :)
Thank you COOLnessGod . I will be making more very soon!
Really great! Hoping to see more.
I just started looking into this craft and this is the best instructional video that I have found. Thank you.
Very nice, love the bending apparatus.

That’s good to know! Looking into making some acrylic box for metal sculptures I make.
great work!
i want to build custom cases for action figures on the card, i was wondering how i go about doing so? exactly what tools do i need?
Thanks! Well done.
In other words....I can't do this on my own. :(
Daniel Louzonis right bc i dont have the tools.

The fingers have been captured here in all their glory for posterity.

Get a push stick bro. 🤘🏻

Is there any way to cut it without a saw? Like with scissors?
Hey ! Did you use a normal router bit to clean up the extra plexiglass or did you use a special bit for it?

How do you place the action figure in the case if its glued shut
It isn't glued shut. Just placed onto its step-base. Like a friction fit bottom
Question, would you make a custom box? please let me know.
Do you make custom acrylic displays? I need about 10
Standard home tool setup that everyone should have...... lol

You are correct Brannon Harris. I should have used the word 'may' instead of 'hope'. All the best, stay safe.
+Norman Featherston hey, thank you!
He’s cutting clear material. It’s not like it’s going to surprise him a cut off his fingertip.
Sullyvan Famous last words!
what was called the blade you used to bend the case?
It’s just called a heat bender
Hey do you make customs ones to sell?
how much would you charge
and for those of us at home who do not have all this equipment and tools.....
Hello please which blade do you use?
Any carbide tipped blade should work fine. 60 - 80 tooth. Triple chip grind works best.
Great video, Hey do you still have 10 fingers. Be safe my friend!
Yea, still building and got all ten. Of course, that's thanks to swapping to push sticks in general.
hi SacMakers can i ask L x W x H of that project. thanks
How much to build me a custom one?
Uhhhh...ur website........my phone will not let me access it because it says that the domain is trying to hack into my account or retrieve passwords.
Nice video.
I need one that is 16 inches tall, 8 inches wide and 2 feet long with a black base.
Feel free to ask any questions!
SacMakers - Do you have a website I can order from????
Dude I would honestly pay u for this I’m not even joking if u could make me some 1:64 display cases that would be amazing 😇
can i buy 200pcs from this?
Our company specializes in producing acrylic products. Can you email me your request? candyacrylic@163.com
Wow, you trimmed your fingernail while cutting at 50 seconds.
I'll make my own cases for pops and pokemon boxs. Nvm I'll just buy them 😂
I want them for Beyblades
Holy smokes, you're pretty brave (or uneducated) with that table saw. Still have all your fingers?
Could you make Four please for my Ninja Turtles? Then another 6 For my Street Sharks Pleaseeee
Well, in order to make a cheap plastic box, I need to expend more money buying the tools .... I can do my own without tools thanks
Can you post your it TH-cam tutorial for this?
Oh no
Now do this without using those type of tools
To anybody watching this, please don't use the saw in the manner used in this video.
I agree. But almost 7 years later I still have 10 fingers. Freedom to create in the manner in which we choose is truly a blessing. I don't remember making a tutorial on using a table saw. :)
Well, someones sure to lose a finger someday.
$100 worth of tools plus materials spend the $20 on Amazon
30 seconds worth of typing for not
I cant like what I seen because camera moves around so much that video was like an action movie
Dude you lost me 16 seconds into the video when you're using a professional sawblade as large as a fridge for this. How is this diy?
It's a table saw with a carbide tipped saw blade. You can buy them at Home Depot. Not Professional Grade Unobtainium. They're pretty ordinary if you actually go out and look.

Man you’ve got poor safety habits around a saw.
