For complex shapes you can place acrylic sheet in boiling water to soften the whole thing evenly and not have to hold it while heating, then drop the softened sheet over a mold that has the shape you want.

Try a hot air gun... no burns, no blackening, very little boiling. Also, always heat both sides.

Luv how she says acrylic and she said it 1000x.

I use a hot air rework station for my heat source, kind of like a heat gun but it can get much hotter. But there is a bunch of great info here, and I like how you use pieces of wood to act like a jig to make bends easier.

Good one, btw can you please make a tutorial on how to make water ripple pattern effect on a acrylic sheet?

I was unable to bend Acrylic until I watched your video
Thank you, I solved my problem

Awesome I was looking for a specific tier display but wasnt finding any luck. I might have to take this route and bend it to different heights

Such a professional but approachable video you created, well done! 🙌

Great video, but PLEASE never wrap hot plastic around a spray paint can! Even if you think it's empty, it can be under pressure inside, or you could have gotten two cans mixed up, and those cans can explode if heated. Safety first.

Fantastic video! I'm thinking of using an acrylic piece to create an air conditioner deflector, and this will help a lot!

I was browsing acrylic tubing and bends for inspiration on updating my pc water cooling build. Realized that she would be pro at doing custom loops lol.

[NeilDohertyMusic]

Fantastic! This has given me the solution to a project I've been working on for some time!
