Right tool....Right Attitude....Very Systematic and only video I have seen (at least me only) who is putting his country name. Your systematisms makes your country proud. Indian bhai log, jago (Indian fraternity please have a look at)
Nobody seemed to mention that this design while elegant cannot easily bend acute angles tighter than 90 degrees.....the hold bar could be a dull knife edge style in my opinion and the hinges set appropriately to achieve acute angles. Great build as others have said, just bought the wire to build one myself but with the above mentioned modifications.
It seems you and your power supply are not afraid of short circuit) Probably it would be better to add some isolation between aluminum angles that hold the springs and aluminum profile between them;) Anyway, the construction looks pretty good. Great relaxing video, as always, thanks for the content))
precisely, i went over the video over and over again to see if i am missing anything called an insulation . your observation has set my doubt at rest :)
Wonderful and informative video - easily the best heat bender I have seen on TH-cam. One suggestion: the current for the heater wire flows through the springs meant to keep it under tension. The heating and cooling cycles may over time anneal the springs and cause the heater wire to become slack (see How To Mechatronics/Arduino CNC Hot Wire cutter video). I would try to use some kind of crimp or screw connection of the power wires to the heating element, just where the wire attaches to the spring. Some kind of thermal insulator (perhaps a collection of mica or ceramic washers) could also be used to thermally isolate the heater wire from the springs. Obviously, a slack wire inside the aluminum channel would not be as big a deal as a loose hot wire cutter; but if it sagged enough to touch the channel it could short out sections of the heater wire resulting in “cold” spots. Just a friendly suggestion for an otherwise fantastic build.
i followed a different guy's vid. this one has a hold down which is better. You are right in that the current doesn't need to go thru the springs. they just keep tension on the wire as it expands
Yes, that exactly. Plus it may make super hot the springs, nut, screw, etc, not only meaning expansion / contraction of the materials but very high temperature in case of accidental touch. I was surprised all this part is not insulated / enclosed. Leaving that out, it's a great idea and fantastic execution!
Blessings to you I see you commented on acrylic bending machine . Was curious to know if you could give me some feedback in reference to this We want to create an acrylic wall bending machine. Our Acrylic sheets are 97 inches long and 40 inches wide with a .110 diameter in thickness. We want a 2 inch lip making the wall 38 inches with a 90 degree angle. What are your suggestions? Or could you create it?
Elegant build. I wouldn't change a thing. The lack of insulation at the ends of the heater strip aren't an issue, as both ends would have to short at the same time for that to cause a problem, and the only problem would be that the current would flow through the aluminum channel rather than the nichrome wire. No damage to the power supply and the overall power output and heat would actually go down, not up. Harmless at 9v with a constant current supply.
One of the best bending device I've seen on TH-cam. Great job Daniele. Your audience is now quite international.... The Made in Italy logo and your brand name are "the cherry on the pie". :-)
Excellent Video and really clear and crispy of each and every element presented in your demonstration. Just would like to know how much Wire Gauze used AWG. Please specify.
The air gap between the angle bracket and the U profile seems a little narrow at 06:46 or am I missing something? I think this could short out over the U profile and bypass the wire!?
Outstanding design and a quality build. One concern: do routers spin counterclockwise in Italy? Climb cut for dado could be a bit problematic with router spinning clockwise.
When the thickness of the acrylplate is changing, don´t you have to change the distance of the 2 screws with the "holding-alu-4square-rod" to the hot wire, because the radius is also changing?
Curious how much space you had between mounting post metal and bending bar. Looks almost like it might short out. Awesome build man. Liked and subscribed!
Grande Daniele, complimenti, a differenza di tanti tu crei sempre oggetti utili, pratici e belli da vedere. Le cose che fai sono capolavori di precisione. Grazie per i tuoi video.
This set of tools is good enough to build a small rocketship :) Seriously, I made a device like this a few yers ago. It wasn't that sophisticated but did the job. I used modified PC power supply as current source. Attention those who are going to repeat the design from this video -- make sure there is at least one gap betwen hollow profile and aluminum parts tht hold wire ends so this profile doesn't short the wire.
Caro Daniele, complimenti come sempre... io ti consiglio di aggiungere un micro interruttore sotto il piatto in modo che quando alzi per piegare automaticamente stacca il filamento ed il calore... !
Me ha encantado el video Daniele. Sólo una pregunta porque no acierto a verlo en la construcción y me preocupa la seguridad de la máquina. ¿La U de protección del filamento, no hace un cortocircuito entre los dos terminales?. Lo pregunto porque no veo suficiente distancia entre los ángulos de soporte y la U de protección del filamento, y la U conecta de lado a lado ambos ángulos de soporte. Cabria por lo mismo separar más los resortes de la U. Saludos.
Do you think the power supply would heat this wire at 40 inches in length? I don't know Ohm's Law that well. LOL I need to heat some vinyl up to about 250 deg. surface temp over about 40 inches. I was using a heat gun, but I have to run it up and down the 40 inches, this could heat more evenly.
E' molto comodo e si possono fare un sacco di utili cose, ottima idea. Vorrei saper fare il 10% di quello che sai fare tu. Compimenti ancora una volta!
Ciao Daniele. Bel video, sei un grande. Una domanda. Il filo che hai usato se dovesse essere circa 120 cm con che tensione e amperaggio dovrei farlo funzionare? Grazie
è troppo lungo secondo me, richiede una corrente molto elevata ma si può fare. Il problema è che più è lungo e più lo devi tensionare per l' effetto elastico e rischi di spezzarlo.
complicated???well to be complicated would be if you add Arduino for temperature and self bending mechanism!! since you have to bend the acrilic using your hands doesn't look to me very complicated!!!
Really Nice work , I’m quite surprised no to see some 3d printed parts here and there, this could be a good complement, though it brings some pleasure and a good finish looking in this kind of project I’m gonna build this machine, perfect with a laser cutter Thanks !! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I see you are passing the current though the spring. Do you have any problem the spring heating up and loosing its tension holding ability? or failing?
Good build. I thought for sure you just happen to have ome springs that would hold the bar inplace so you wouldnt have to loosen and tighten the wing nuts once you placed your plastic under it and snugged it a bit.
Hello! Which type of spring are you using I tried making a machine however when the nichrome wire heats up the spring is getting damaged, please reply thank you.
Complimenti che figata! Mi dici per favore la sega e la lima che hai usato per tagliare e limare l'alluminio che marca sono? Mi sto comprando un pò di attrezzi per lavorare il metallo (uso hobbistico) e volevo consiglio. Grazie e complimenti ancora. Bravo!
hi, nice work, thanks for the video, i built a machine similar to your design and i was making a u chanel which was 38 inches by 38 inches with a 3 inch bend at each end That turned out ok but now i am bending some 2 1/2 strips which i am bending in half to make a angel piece for my project, but the angel pieces are comming out bowed, so i am trying to figure out how to avoid the bowing each piece is about 30 inches and the bender i made can accept a 48 inch piece of plastic. Am i bending it to slow..too fast? or not cooling it down ?. like i said the big sheet turned out pretty straight but the smaller pieces are not so straight. i was thinking to use a heat gun and sandwhich the 2 1/2 inch pieces between two pieces of angel iron to straighten the bowed pieces?
I don't bend enough plexi to build one,but watching your process was very satisfying.Excellent craftsmanship.Thank-you
Gracias amigo Danielle! No solo buena idea, buena construcción y bella ejecución con un resultado que rezuma belleza. Forza Italia!
After watching it many times, I was able to make it. Thank you friend
Best bender I have seen made on TH-cam so far!

Great build as others have said, just bought the wire to build one myself but with the above mentioned modifications.
Yes, and a different fasten mechanism for the hold bar. Not so protruding even less handy
Cannot imagine . You can sell this wonderful product.
I like that you put the guide on on side to square up the sheets. All the videos ive seen so far were eye balling it.
It seems you and your power supply are not afraid of short circuit) Probably it would be better to add some isolation between aluminum angles that hold the springs and aluminum profile between them;)
Anyway, the construction looks pretty good. Great relaxing video, as always, thanks for the content))
Yes I've been thinking the same thing.

Can you write the material list? I have homework.
Just wow. You're an artist and your hands are precious tools.

@@r.t.elangovanr.t.elangovan6792 How thick of acrylic can you bend with this gauge wire, Will it soften 8mm?

You could use a protractor to bend it at any angle ! Well done
True

Even in Australia :)
Hola lindo trabajo, felicitaciones.
¿Qué alambre usas?
One of the best acrylic bending machine that i found. What is the maximum thick of acrylic could be bend using the 0,8mm nickel wire ?
beautiful craftsmanship :) lovely relaxing video
Excellent Video and really clear and crispy of each and every element presented in your demonstration. Just would like to know how much Wire Gauze used AWG.
Please specify.

Godlike. Your hands are gold. Thank you for your idea.
Il re del fai da te... 👍 e del multistrato.... Grande Daniele
Ho solo quello in casa :-)
Hola hasta que espesor de acrílico se puede doblar...??? bueno trabajo que hiciste.
That intro is one of the best I've ever seen 😍
Yes, same here

Very good..one of the best acrylic bending machines I’ve seen,thanks 🇬🇧
I recommend using 'seconds' or 'minutes' rather than ' " ' or ' ' '. It is technically correct but not in common usage in the USA. Great video. Liked.
Maybe it would be nice to mount a protractor aside to bend it at different angles. Great job.
Utilissimo! Basta aggiungere un goniometro su un lato e si possono fare varie angolature. Mi sa che te lo copio. Veramente ben fatto!
working super clean . i enjoyed watching your video . keep going
masterpiece, rad dude, what wire and length specification?
Sei un vero maghetto con le tue mani. Bravo Daniele.

Eine Handwerklich tolle Arbeit 💯%🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👍
I know i will never make it.. But I loved watching this.. such nice precision.
Such awesome tool for DIY people. I think a pretty wood handle and a some measuring tools screwed on, would make it perfect.
Very nice👍👍👍
Espectacular ! qué prolijidad !
nice job. respect from Algeria.
hola, muy buen trabajo, gracias por compartir. pregunta, ¿puedes usar el mismo diseño para una de 120cm?
So many great ideas, thank-you for publishing!
Ciao a te Daniele,
Ottimo video, sei un campione della creazione.
È fantastico
Alain dalla Francia
very nice, but there's some imperfections. it's like melt the acrylic.
just sanding resolves the problem?
I Have one question , if I do it longer do you think it would still be useful, or it may ocurr a problem with distribution of the heat?
Very Useful Machine
This set of tools is good enough to build a small rocketship :)

Is there any cheaper heating source instead of DC power?

Hi. What are these metal sheets, bars, rods made of? Are these aluminums?
eres un maestro! te admiro! gracias por tus videos!
I might be wrong but the majority of the parts could all be made of plywood to reduce cost and be easier to make ... just a thought ... good design
