Just In Hi from Germany / Bavaria - I've build my own flatbed applicator

[V-Pixel]

Hi everyone,
I’m Manuel from Germany. I’ve been in the signmaking world for about 15 years now — it’s something I’ve always enjoyed alongside my work in mechatronics and R&D.
A while ago I started building my own flatbed laminator just for the challenge, and it turned into a really fun and rewarding project:

Looking forward to sharing ideas and learning from others here!

Best regards
Manu

You know you're German...when you build your own flatbed laminator just because! . Welcome from Calgary Canada!

Hallo Manuel, das ist ein schönes Projekt. Mir gefallen die zu einer Seite offenen Rollenhalter - wieviel kg kann man so halten?

I was stationed in west germany 79-81 ,,..what a great time i had ..even though there was a "cold" war going on...but that was nothing.....it was the second generation of the Left wing terrorists "Badder -Meinhoff" who were creating havoc there...bombings...kidnappings...bank robberies..killings ....just another day there

Hi Stefan, vielen Dank! Die seitlichen Rollenhalter können schon ordentlich Gewicht tragen - ich kann dir hier leider keine genaue Zahl nennen da ich standardmäßig immer 63 cm 'a 10m Rollen drin hängen habe - da würde aber noch einiges mehr gehen bis die Schnellspannverbinder nachlassen und selbst dann könnte man mit Winkelverbinder die Stabilität erhöhen bis die Kunststoffscharniere nachlassen, dann gäbe es noch Metallscharniere etc..

That sounds awful—a time that hopefully will never come again in this form..

Is this for sale? What are they selling for?

Hey, yes—I turned it into a DIY project so that anyone can recreate it themselves. I called the whole thing SignForgeX.com.

If the link violates forum rules, please remove it.

Interesting!
Do you have a ball-park figure for the costs of the profiles, to get an idea of the total build cost?
