Using Vacuum Forming to Make Coaster and More out of Jesmonite

[@InTheMindOfficial]

I love his absolute child like joy he has any time he does a project. You can tell he absolutely loves what he does and it's beautiful seeing such a passionate maker. You rock dude, keep on doing awesome work!

[@dcanom321]

The blues on the shallow dishes remind me of The Great Wave. Also fingers crossed for a new vacuum forming machine!

[@GiacoWhatever]

Alright, need to try that jesmonite... Thanks

[@achappel]

Dude jeah it's super fun to use, you should defeneatly try it out. I'd like to try making something bigger with it as well :)

[@FlokrollProjects]

It was my idea

[@eamonlee159]

Flokroll Projects ???

[@FlokrollProjects]

@@eamonlee159 It is true, i pointed him in the Jesominte direction :D

[@eccentricnut3566]

Ummm yeah definitely, how have I not known about this stuff before?

[@Lar411]

It's so cool to see you actually listened to what many people commented which was using a steady camera instead of a handheld one :) Thanks for listening!

[@markwatts7634]

Wow that Jesmonite is awesome, so many great ideas for it, the Black with orange pieces is super cool.

[@davidramirezcorredor5934]

I’m amazed by how many clever tricks this man has for his projects!

[@NotaRobot_gif]

I know!!

[@christophedecostelabelle]

I just love how this guy always does such professional looking products while still staying super easy to follow. I'd love to get that machine! I'm a mechanical engineering student and already have a 3d printer so this addition to my work space could give me a lot of new opportunities. Thanks for posting such amazing content

[@paramendium7213]

I've always wanted a vacuum forming machine there's so much that can be done with them.

[@Blackspidy619]

I've wanted one from the first time I saw The Mythbusters use one.

[@strykervalkyrion]

I swear this is the greatest infomercial for a vacuum forming machine ever. I've known about them but never knew how to integrate it into the workshop until watching this. Now I want one

[@CAZZAisCALUM]

Have loved working with jesmonite for about a year now - this vacuum former looks like it would make things so much smoother when it comes to mould making! Thanks for the suggestion 😱☺️

[@llamalex3156]

Formbox vacuum...3D printer...a maker could never stop dreaming about the possibilities🥺

[@Jobey_99]

Jesmonite is a lot cheaper than i imagined for 17 Kg's of the stuff. I think that's about enough for a pretty cheap desktop with really cool patterns

[@maxrandom3337]

I Hope I can find it in my country!!

[@jesmonite]

We hope you enjoy using Jesmonite for your project! Please tag us in your creations on Instagram! #Jesmonite We love to see and share new creations!

[@danielch6662]

We don't know how strong it is. Even if you were to cast it with a metal support embedded inside, we don't know if the edges will crack and chip off with normal use.

[@Jobey_99]

@@danielch6662 I have seen jesmonite used as kitchen counter tops so i would guess that with enough support cracking and chipping wouldn't be an issue. I'm planning on making a desktop in the near future so will find out

[@agentred8732]

@@Jobey_99 : Did you ever make your desktop? I am considering doing a dining counter... I cannot find any cases of Jesmonite as a countertop material.

[@salvatorefarrell5412]

Everytime I get the notification for your videos I get so happy!!! I love you and your content so much. I would love to win the vacuum former because i’m looking to experiment with diy projects like this!

[@TarnAlcock]

I love how you show the points of failure and workarounds in the process! Informative AND entertaining!

[@chriss2050]

I was surprised how far a small amount of pigment went on the final colors. They look great! Thanks.

[@AnoopKhetani]

Imagine drinking a shot everytime Alexander says "Jesmonite".😄

[@ma3574]

This is so cool! Only recently came across this channel and I'm hooked. Forget Netflix, this is so much more fun to watch

[@ajosuql7468]

making a coffee table with that material with the fake marble effect would be really cooooooool :D

[@notchs0son]

And cheap omg imagine ha omg to make the table again

[@Pandonaut]

Jesmonite is probably the most unique material I've ever heard of and seems alot cooler than resin to cast with!

[@josephanning2509]

I've always made vacuum form molds from MDF with the air holes having a large countersink on the underside to help with suction

[@pupeno3]

Oh... countersinking them sounds like a good idea. Thanks for sharing.

[@balisticjoe]

I've wanted one of those machines for a long time...

[@achappel]

Well, You're in luck! please either dm me on instagram (@a.chappel) so that we can sort out the shipping info. Oh and congrats!! (need some sort of confirmation that you've received this within 48hrs)

just a tiny tip: NEVER SHOW YOUR KEYS ON A VIDEO

[@jonjohnson102]

You saw the video too huh?

[@dumchican]

@@baddriversofthenorcalarea500 if someone who wants to do harm to you already knows where you live and is nearby, and you've told them you have a youtube channel, they probably aren't against copying your key so they don't have to break a window.

[@dumchican]

​@@baddriversofthenorcalarea500 why would you break a window and let someone know you just stole like half their file cabinet? you can do someone harm in a lot more ways than physically.

[@briankemp7408]

I want to win one of these machines, i am going to make many projects with it.

[@afrobunny]

This is such a creative way to use 3D printing for the initial molds and use vacuum forming to create those nice objects.

[@AthanCondax]

The sanding technique is super cool! Never heard of this stuff but you make me want to go out and buy a tub of it. Great content as always, you continuously inspire me. That vacuum former is sick too.

[@rogerthreepwood9232]

I really want to win this for my girlfriend, she has always wanted one. She lives in Canada, you wouldn't know her, but I swear she's real!

[@marcrichmond1709]

Love the capabilities that are possible with tools and materials you are sharing.

[@retiredtom1654]

Your video is about the most informative I have watched. You show the products from start to finish and the chemicals needed for the versus looks. Very well done, and I'm about ready to start a new hobby!

[@alessandrostabile7642]

Thanks for this video, I couldn't understand how this machine works. Truly a great idea with utilities that have no boundaries.

[@pierrevancraenenbroeck]

That vacuum forming machine would be awesome for prototyping ! Also the granito effect is really cool

[@Huntereich]

I work for a company that does full scale thermoforming by using the same properties as this product. This is such a cool representation of how the process works.

[@ayylmao.mp3]

The white and blueish stuff is so pretty, looks like a foaming ocean!

[@bensimms7294]

I've been thinking about some jesmonite surfaces for worktops etc... Now I know it's so easy I'll DIY!!

[@jasonjeffries9871]

vacuum forming is so great, and having a personal sized option is simply fantastic for prototyping projects. Great video!

[@hometwig2397]

Have always been interested in vacuum forming but they have always generally been to big for the space I have available. Really cool that there is a Desktop version.

[@RafiquiLP94]

I love all your projects. And seeing some vacuumforming and knowing there might be more projects with it in the future makes it even better.

[@bienalvarez3730]

Those pigments look great! That vacuum forming machine is so compact too, looks like one you can bring around. That's really cool.

[@knytetech7732]

This is the first time I've seen a machine in a youtube video, where I'm actually planning to buy the machine. I've seen a lot of desktop vacuum forming machines, but they've all had some glaring issues, this is the first really well put together design I've seen.

[@Tictacpanter]

Gotta say I love the range of build projects you have. From tool Restos to sound panels.

[@foimmsopraisto]

[@MrChillipower]

As always, nice projects and outstanding video production quality. I didn't know you were doing so much projects with molding..

[@JoeyHessianKian]

Glad you have introduced vacuum forming to the channel. Definitely would be a pleasure having one! Keep up the good work

[@cigara87]

Hi Alexandre, got to say i dont think i am in a position to make full use of a Vacuum Forming machine yet, but just seeing you work with one gives me so many ideas on what i would do with one. I love watching your videos and i just want to say that you have a unique ability to motivate and inspire. Just looking at some of the techniques you use i am truly jealous of your work space and your know-how, and you have a positive attitude mixed with a genuine joy for what you create! Thanks for making these videos for us - please keep going!

Amazing finish on the Jesmonite. Not a singe trace of air bubbles 👍

[@mikeprokes1134]

Very well described process. One of the best "how to" videos I've seen!

And now I have to dive into the chasm of vacuum forming videos on KZbin XD. Thanks Mr Chappel :)

[@kobuscoetzer9952]

That machine is quite epic! No more silicone molds! Viva!

[@PeterKNoone]

This material looks very promising. You're right that they don't list a distributor in the USA so I pinged them asking them about that.

[@bjorn.grooten]

What a cool material and colers! I love it! I had never the chance to try out vacuüm forming, but it is a really interesting technic.

[@FranklyWry]

I definitely enjoyed it. I am going to be casting with resin instead, but I can use some of your color mixing and terrazzo techniques to make some nice soap dishes and rafts for my wife’s soapmaking biz. Great energy and presentation.

What a great video! The casting material you are using is a real game changer for brilliant colors and effects. I enjoyed your tips about not sanding PLA. Thanks for doing this. A vacuum former is something I had been looking at getting for a while, but could not justify the cost. Thanks!

[@JohnAldred]

Well, this sure made the whole process look easy compared to some other vacuum forming videos I've seen, lol. Definitely going to have to check out Jesmonite.

[@gtuomi7]

I've always associated vacuum forming with making masks and cosplay items. Never thought about making molds. Amazing. That's a must have in any maker's shop.

[@HelloJillybean]

Love all the things you do. The vacuum former looks like a lot of fun. Would like to see what others things can be done with it.

[@vincentguttmann2231]

Regarding the nut tray: if you wanna go through the process, you could try nonplanar slicing, which (as long as the top is shallow enough) prints the top surface as one layer crossing multiple layers. Like laying a new layer on top of the stairs trapped layers.

[@BienvenidoDelRosario]

Yes! Vacuum forming, very cool, I also like the Jesmonite pigments.

[@matthavekost403]

You can design multi part 3D printed tools with pick outs if you want to make undercuts or challenging geometry. Leave the cap layers at the bottom of the 3D printed tool open like the internal fill rather than modeling in vent holes.

[@glenhartness6695]

Great stuff!! Was hoping to buy this exact vacuum former for myself, but finances won’t allow it. Maybe I have another chance here. Yeah.

[@NiteLynr]

I gotta say, I was expecting this just to give resin/plaster type results but the finished products were amazing looking, nice job :)

[@stigchristianaske7402]

That is a really cool process for making short runs and prototypes!

[@maddi5920]

I would be interested in a video about the limits of these awesome machines... like how tall the molds can be without the sheet ripping or how many small details can be transfered to the mold.

[@bradthompson128]

[@jks82]

Man, I love your channel. Your passion, your wood skills and your crazy ideas inspire me every time you upload a new video!

[@knzio]

Would like to watch a video about the strength of this material. Another thought, wouldn't adding the orange bits into the black one make it more brittle?

[@peteoconnell3750]

The black coaster looks awesome, to save time could you not put in the broken pieces in the vacuum formed piece first and then pour the black? Maybe leave air bubbles? :/

[@bezsamain1734]

I’m also experimenting with poring smal parts and wanted to use silicone but this looks like a cheaper alternative in long term great video.

[@leafnode]

It looks so cool just to play with the form and colors! I had a blast making soaps with my daughter - I can’t even imagine what we could do with being able to make our own molds with such an ease :) Definitely going to try the Jesmonite.
