Product care and life cycle

FormBox session length

To keep your FormBox running in optimal condition, we recommend using it in 45-minute sessions, followed by a 20-minute cooling period with the temperature dial switched to "OFF." Make sure you let the fans cool the heater down for 10 minutes before turning it off at the mains.

If you have everything set up and ready for your production run, you should be able to form 10 molds in a 45-minute session.

Note: The ambient temperature can affect your FormBox's performance. Have some fun with the starter kit and tools to get to know your FormBox and how it responds to your environment.

Cleaning the vacuum plate

If you accidentally spilled something on your vacuum plate or it’s just a little dusty, no worries! You can easily clean the bottom mesh plate using household soap and warm water.
