In this video I show more techniques for 3D printed sheet metal press forming tools. I improve over my previous designs by making a tool with a moving action as well as fixing a major design flaw. I also demonstrate a more complicated forming operation with many features made in one pressing.
These videos usually take a ton of work and a lot of money in tools and materials. I've made a patreon if you're interested in supporting the creation of these projects: https://www.patreon.com/stuffmadehere
