What the space heater started with: a whole raft of control systems and multiple redundant safety systems.

What it ended with after I repurposed it as a thermoforming heater: a toggle switch and straight 120V AC, baby.

System should come online next weekend when a couple straggler components are acquired.

Gonna try and remember to take video.

This device should absolutely never be allowed to run unattended for any length of time.
