That looks like a 'build-it-yourself' version of the out-of-the-box
solution here: http://www.warmplastic.com/how.html

But when does anyone want anything out-of-the-box? Isn't it more fun to
spend endless nights burning out your partners vacuum cleaner all the
while cursing sore hammer-broken fingers? Hm..


It's interesting to see how these 'home-brew' devices compare to
industry standard formers. Check this link for QuickTime videos of how
it's done. http://www.crclarke.co.uk/Pages/English/contact.html
Eee-by-gum! It's moved on an awful lot with all the new automatic
intervention! I wonder if the 'home-brew' version could be modified to
be 100% automatic with an old grill heating element, several motors,
switches, relays, LCD and our old friend, (of course), the PIC. :)

Cheers,
