This vacuum box produced the visor for my recent Helldivers 2 cosplay! Check out the vacuum forming section for an illustrated guide on how to use this model.

I designed the box for use with 12" square sheets of plastic, so the suction area is about 9.25" square and the size of the whole box is 10" square to leave clearance. To do forming with this model, you will additionally need:

  • Metal frames to clamp the sheet

  • Plastic to form with

  • An object to form

  • Vacuum with 1-1/4" outer diameter nozzle

The model consists of 5 parts:

  • Platen (top suction surface with holes)

  • Baffle (middle slide-in layer, to minimize suction bias at hose port)

  • Handle for baffle

  • Suction Plate (where vacuum connects to box)

  • Walls (split into left and right halves)

Most pieces connect with tongue and groove features, so for basic assembly no other parts are needed. To connect the handle to the baffle insert, this model requires two M3×8 heat set inserts and two M3×16 screws.
