It is possible but not easy. Basically it will have to stand over your t-shirt. So you need a robust and if possible adjustable legs.
I bought a heating element off bay, built a sheet metal box and placed the heating element in there.
In my trials it did cure several test t-shirts, but the problem was having a secure adjustable legs, which I didn't have.
then I got this order for 35 t-shirts so I decided to buy an used one I found on craigslist.
Good luck.

Look for a used one, you can find them on e-bay, craigslist, digitsmith.com at very reasonable prices

it will be safer and save you a huge headache.
