Thanks everybody!
I pulled a new bubble this morning from 1/16 inch thick PETG sheet. It was a LOT easier than using polycarbonate. The PETG forms at a lower temperature, cools more slowly and is, overall, more forgiving. I did have to predry the PETG in the oven at 150°F for about an hour, though. A lot of the literature suggests that thin sheet (like anything less than 0.09 inch thick) does not require predrying. My experience so far is that it is critical...even for stuff as thin as 0.03 inch thick. It is possible that my vacuum forming heater is a bit overpowered...but I observed zero moisture-induced bubbles when I predried the plastic first. Every part I pulled without predrying had bubbles. I'll post a pic of the new bubble here in a moment. Last edited by Fschuler; 05-29-2021 at 04:50 PM.. Reason: Pic addition |

Great job! Stuff like this would definitely get me interested in the 1:12 line.

Fantastic! The first top was okay, and I would have been happy with it, but the re-worked bubble definitely improves the TB as a whole! Kudos!
