Using the Mayku FormBox Vacuum Former is as easy as 1, 2, 3!
With the FormBox, you can start mass-producing as many awesome designs as you want.
First, you'll need a shape. You can find a shape you like, sculpt a form, or 3D print the perfect shape.

Next, you'll vacuum form a sheet of thin plastic (PETG or polystyrene) over that shape using the FormBox, leaving you with a plastic mold of the shape; a three-dimensional profile that can be used in countless ways. The clear PETG sheets are great for multi-use molds for a variety of materials. Polystyrene sheets help create lasting objects that can enhance your designs.
Now you're ready to start using your mold!

Questions
Are the screws and dimensions of this machine metric or imperial?
Is the fan that cools the build chamber temperature-controlled or can only a percentage be set for that fan? Is the build chamber fan controlled from the slicer or the touch screen directly at the machine?
Can you have a .04 nozzle in one hot end and a 1.0 nozzle in the other? So you could print a fine print or a quick print (separate print of course).
We own three machines, run ABS only, we had several builds that are 8-10” tall with cracks running thought them on the Z plane ( height) the material warps so badly causing layer failure below. How can we correct this issue?
Howdy, I have 3 quick questions: 1) How is the Auto leveling handled on the Pro2? 2)Can you get it ordered with the hardened nozzles already installed? 3) Will the hardened nozzles be less likely to clog?
Hi I am thinking of buying a Pro 2 plus and I have a question regarding rafts. Are they needed for all prints, or can large flat part be printed directly on the build surface with little to no warping. I have several customers wanting parts in several different materials such as Nylon X and multiple TPU's and a raft would leave an unacceptable appearance/ texture to parts.
Do you know if it will operate with Simplify3D? I really do not like having it operate overnight on long prints...safety concerns....and with Simplify 3D I can stop a print and startup where it left off the next morning.
It comes with all nozzles diameters (0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8mm)? Or I have to choose just one?
Just got mine and its HUUUGE, awesome shipping support (international order here) got it in less than a week after ordering. Now i want to order another one but im torn between it and the Ultimaker S5, the UMS5 is more expensive.
Can high temp material like Ultem be occasionally printed? Can a water cooled hotend be used?
Will the printer accommodate a 3kg spool of MH PLA?
Can this printer print Tough PLA? Also how fine of a resolution can this print?
What comes with the 3 year warranty for the Pro 2 and Pro 2 plus?
Hi, do you sell the power supply for this Raise 3D machine? Please send quote.
is the Raise3d Pro2 compatible with the Markforged Onyx filament
Hi! Im from Mexico, and Im so interested on the Raise 3D pro2 plus. Can you tell me, how many hours the printer can work continually? or does the printer need time between every work?
If the printing stops as a result of a clogged nozzle, will the printer automatically pause where it is and enable the user to fix the problem and continue the print later?
How heavy is the machine?
Can you print PVA with this printer? I don't see that mentioned anywhere...
As long as you carefully observe the temperature range requirements for PVA, you should have no trouble printing using it.
Thank you!
