And.. I sort of managed.. Only my logic did not go far enough; I managed to get some play dough stuck inside what should have been a light weight capsule :) Oh well, it provides stabilisation or something :P

Oh - and I invented a new method; Instead of heating up 2 plates at the same time, I did one at a time. The first one, I made sure "sucked through", so the second one is not so tight, but it stabilises. And where one is weak or has cracks, the other layer supports. So this is actually a mould on a mould.

Drives, proves concept of all-in-one vacuum moulding
