I'm Nick Walters and I created Waltersworx as a way to share past and ongoing projects.
Many of my projects stem from a facination with all things Disney and Walt Disney Imagineering and often combine digital and practical fabrication techniques to make custom works of art.
I post regular updates to my instagram page @walterxworx.
Questions & Answers:
1) Is your name Walter and are these your worx? My name is Nick but I sometimes go by Walt. I highly customize my artworks whether they be inspired by an existing thing or are a new thing. I'll attempt to give credit where credit is due for big corporations and individual artists alike if I am using their work as a reference for my own.
2) Do you sell your worx? I do on a limited basis, but currently I do not have a site set up for purchases.
3) Do you work for Disney? not right now, but I used to. I was a Magic Kingdom Haunted Mansion butler from 2004-2006, but I currently live in Los Angeles, closer to Disneyland.

Does anyone know what the sizing of the plastic usage area is?
woww
that mask came out amazing! may I ask what kind of plastic did you use for it?
Nice work 🐠❤
OMG! I want one!
just letting you know that this video changed my life, like for real. i seriously wouldn’t be where i am today without this video and i’m just coming back to thank you for making and posting this
How about selling 3d print of head, i cannot find one anywhere and i'm not a cad guy, at all.
wauw that looks really great, i would love to build one of my own can you help get started?
Nice video, but you did put the hose adapter in backwards.
Hey did you ever post the 3D files
Very nice 👍 it’s amazing 🤩
I have some questions. When it comes to this machine, what is the limit to the thickness of plastic that it's able to pull with this machine (I mean, anything 2mm and above would probably be problematic)? Also, how well does it pull other materials (like sheet styrene for example)? And has it held up well after two years?
Hi -excellent video. At the 4:40 mark, you talk about how you transferred the image for 3D printing. Can you please describe a bit more the process over here and what materials you used? Thanks much.
Que legal você pode dar para mim❤
how do I get one in AUSTRALIA. ? BOO HOO THEY DONT SHIP TO AUSTRALIA
Quick question; suppose I want a print to come out with a perfectly glassy smooth finish. Can I just paint on some unthickened resin and cure it? Might that also be a quick way to bury the print texture?
Beautiful work.
Not very reliable, there’s a lot of spider web issues. The product is money wasted.
Do you have a print file for this somewhere? Would love to make this!
Thank You. I just Subscribed.😊I made some Mermaid and Mermen Figures but want to make copies will this do the trick.?
this is good for making component parts and molds, I don't recommend it for finished figures.
How did you make the beak hook in and move by the controller?
Nice video. I immediately see all kinds of possibilities. Would this machine also work with Worbla? Or would that material be too thick?
I don't now about worbla specifically but this works with thermo-plastics with a fairly low glass-transition point.
@@waltersworx Thanks for the reaction. I found another vacuum machine, cheaper and also for worbla. A bit diy instead of ready to use but i'm happy with it !
Tal vez te resulte más efectivo el empleo de termoformadoras odontológicas, y podrías probar con gran variedad de láminas más y menos rígidas y de diferentes espesores. Saludos.
DO YOU SUPPLY TO SOUTH AFRICA ,IF SO WICH STORE CAN I BUY IT FROM
I’m working on my own animatronic Tiki Birds for my sisters upcoming graduation party. I’m going to make 2 parrots & 1 toucan. Is the 3D model of the head available to purchase?
How much
What is the bed dimension?
something like 6inX6in, pretty small.
@@waltersworx I ended up getting one. Works good for what I need it to do but still isn't as good as a real thermoforming machine.
Just saw your video, you did an amazing job! I'd love to see how you wired the animatronics. Hats off to you!
Can you use these under a Uv light
Thank you for this video! What did you use to make the impression For your face?
I do special effects work as well so I have a plaster life cast of my own face and individual parts of it.
I got this for only $8 today. Michaels had it on clearance. Yay
For what it can do that is a crazy deal! I have a few products I make with small vacuformed parts so mine gets regular use and I haven't had an issue yet.
Really cool video. Would like to see more restorations
Hoping to post more of that kind of video in 2022 :) Got a few items in my collection waiting for their turn on the workbench.
Great Video Nick. Thinking about getting this for some minime bears with contoured faces. I would like to ask your advice on a cheap printer that I could use to print the face and then vacuform over the top of it. I need it to be cheap as well, so would an inkjet printer do? many Thanks
I used a Elegoo Mars 3D printer for my models which you can find for around $180 now and that's a great value for the quality you can get. The color transfers I made using a full color print off of a laser toner printer but there is a whole process to it. Please check out the links I provided for more info about that. You can just get a laser toner copy made at your local FedEx if you don't already have access to one.
❤️
Nice! Great customer service 👍🎃
Velcro is the answer to a lot of my design problems lol.
@@waltersworx If it worked in space, it’ll work on a pumpkin!🚀🤘🏻
Pls. Advice me if you can supply vacuum form machine for casting cement vase . ... with thank s
You could cast plaster or cement into a vacuformed mold but you would need to pieces clamped together since you can't vacuform a round object in one piece.
Could you explain how you got the 3d prints so smoothe and without visible layer lines? I can't seem to find a definitive method for doing so.
This is a resin 3D print with a layer height of .45, then I sand it down. The orientation of the print will also help to minimize layer height when viewed at certain angles.
@@waltersworx thanks for your answer. I am working with a rather large multi-sectioned pla print. Would you happen to have and tips for sanding and filling that?
@@alexl6644 sorry, I don't have as much experience with pla printing and it depends on the type of plastic you are using. I know some types of plastic smooth well using an acetone vapor treatment but you will want to research that thoroughly to make sure what you have will work with it.
Looking forward to seeing it completed, looks good !
I want one!
Just caught your video, do you make Haunted Mansion masks? Please let me know.
Yeah I make Hatbox Ghost and Pirate masks as well.
@@NickWalters571 Are they like the old Ben Cooper style of the 70s/80s? Love to know.
@@rickfipps1489 they are vacuform plastic masks but they are painted in a more realistic style than the vintage Cooper masks. You can see them on the Waltersworx instagram or facebook pages. Currently sold out but a new batch is hitting my etsy and website stores this weekend.
@@NickWalters571 How much do you sell them for?
@@rickfipps1489 I don't list prices in comments because they could change but you'll be able to see the masks listed on my Etsy store this weekend. Just look for the Waltersworx shop.
Thank you so much for your review. I bought this, opened the box only to close it up lol terrified because it required assembling. After watching your review I overcame my dumbness hahaha, was so easy woohoooooo. Definitely recommending your review if anyone asks. Thank you, have a great day :)
Thanks for watching. Glad the tutorial gave you some confidence to get started on the machine. I still use it often as part of the production process for one of my replica displays and haven't had an issue yet!
its cheap and doesn't do a good job
It does well with all the things I design to use with it. But I have other vacuum forming machines for different sized bucks. You gotta use what's right for the tool.
@@waltersworx how much
@@maxellmurata6386 price varies depending on where you buy it from. Looks like it's on clearance at Michael's now for $59.
Great video. Looking forward to watching the rest of your content. Sub'd.
Fantastic!
awesome!
I went and got one 🤞🏼thanks for sharing
It's really handy for small things that don't have a lot of detail. I use it often for making support shells for animatronic and static parts which is quick and cost effective.
Hey can u post the 3d design please
You can buy one from my website if you would like to have one 😁
@@waltersworx I don’t see any 3D files anywhere on the website 😕
Where is the website? @@waltersworx
Finally watching this. Very cool! It's fun to see how these things are really made.
Yeah man, it makes sense that it was made from such a durable material with how much use it got. You never really get to see all that detail on the ride, the glitter really shines when it's clean.
how much is the heater temp in the machine ?
There is no display to show the temperature but the machine is not hot to the touch when operating. The manual does say not to run it for more than 5 min at a time to prevent overheating but I usually go longer and haven't had any issues.
Awesome to watch this process, and on such a cool prop. Thanks for sharing🤘🏻🐟🩸🌊
Thanks for checking it out. Pretty different from some of my fast paced processes but it's good to mix things up every now and then.
