Acrylic Glass Folding Heater

I ran many experiments and discovered different ways to dissipate heat from water. I tried with copper tubes, with falls, with peltiers and other methods, but i finally came to the conclusion that the best way to keep the water cold is... not to warm it. Here is the heater finished (as always, click on an image to see it in bigger size): The control panel (white box) carries a fuse (for security reasons) and an on-off switch on the side, that turns on the heater, powers the dimmer, powers the fan and also provides power to the water pump simultaneously. Here is an example of my first sculpture that i made with this tool (the piece bellow is 6mm thick): I managed to make extreme bending angles in very small distances, due to the fact that only a narrow area on the material is heated.

I recommend printing the gears with an ink jet printer. Even cheap ink jet printers print very scale accurate but Not all laser printers are accurate. You can still access the old (pre 2015) Flash based gear geberator Getting the printout to scale correctly, avoiding cropping Different browsers print at different scales depending on browser type and printer configuration. Use an ink jet printer I recommend using an ink jet printer. Printing the gear templates To print the gear template, use the 'Print' button, instead of printing the web page from the browser. The gear generator program that I created and sell doesn't need the scale calibration, and can paginate across many pages for larger gears.
