What Inspired You to Make This?

I've always wanted a vacuum former to make functional (phone cases, candy molds) and decorative (props, costume pieces, etc) parts and this project fit the bill. It's inexpensive, flexible, portable, and stores away easily. When not in use it's basically just a bucket that holds the supplies. It only takes a few minutes to set up and get going and then another few minutes to put it all away again.
