Nice job on the bender, OP.
I've had success bending Polycarb using a vice and a pencil torch. It takes a careful, steady touch to get the material melted without bubbles and I haven't yet found it to be a good project to hand off to the students. Making a bender instead will make a nice little project for newer students. On Acrylic, I agree: avoid structural applications. But we've found through some industry expertise that the optical qualities of Cast Acrylic are far superior to Lexan/Makrolon/polycarb. We edge-light an etched panel of cast acrylic and it's typically the best-looking part of our robot. |

I'm applying my safety hat here from work... How hot does that wire get when powered? Also, should there be a cover over it to prevent accidental contact? Burns Hurt.

But you raise a good point. I'll put a warning label on it. |
