Search Youtube for "acrylic bender" and many tutorials come up. Most are 2-3 feet long and are attached to a variable power supply. Since we didn't have a variable power supply, however, the length was determined experimentally using our available DC voltage (12V robot batteries).
It's about 17 inches clip-to-clip.
The 20-gauge nichrome wire was sourced on eBay.
The circuit should be fused for 20 amps.
The one we made was modeled after this one:
