Thanks for your encouraging Comment

Thanks for your great comment

Hi Karl I purchased mine from Trend as a diy vacuum board kit, they are called Mach Ball Valve For Vacuum Clamping but you can get them from www.mpower-tools.co.uk/product/vacuum-clamp-pressure-activated-ball-valve-packs/

@@Tonys.Top.Tips.Workshop Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately, there is no data on the homepage such as height, width and diameter. This would not be bad because I am the data customs for Fusion CAD. Would be very grateful if you could write them here.

@@karlerber8408 hi I could give you the dimensions of mine but that might be different to those as some do vary in size

Hi thanks for your comment, the white one is hips done on the Zortrax m200 it was my first printer when they first came out, so had it a few years fantastic prints from it but not anywhere near the speed of the Bambu Lab x1c.

@@Tonys.Top.Tips.Workshop Meaning that Zortrax is a serious brand as they claim. I've heard many good opinions on Bambu Lab x1c but the Chinese are in a merciless competition in the sector and competitors like the new Qidi looks like a terrific BL's contender at half of x1c's price. Anyway, as you fairly mentioned, devices are as good as you use them for interesting projects flawlessly, which is the case of Zortrax and X1C.

Hi thanks for your question, yes you are correct you could just glue straight to a clamped down base board. Using vac pods or a vacuum table like I have on my pro machine is the ease of use and no metal clamps protruding. The disadvantage is you cant cut through as you would hit your vac pod or vac table resulting in loss of vacuum. So if you glued your material down to a sub strate you could cut through. It is just another way of securing you job to machine at the end of the day you use what is best for you and your skills.

Hi thanks for your kind comment and subscription, I was an apprentice trained wood machinist as well as cabinet maker. I have had a pro CNC for a number of years and 3d printers and laser engravers. I just try to help those in need as I have had help from others. Cheers Tony

@@Tonys.Top.Tips.Workshop You're a good person Tony. The world does need people like you. Like you I've been using a CNC but a smaller and cheaper than yours for years. But my 2 favorite devices are laser engravers and my 5yo CReality CR10-mini which had a bigger usable volume than the recent 3D printers despite its pretty slow speed... Looking forward to watching your next post Tony. Have a nice sunday Sir.

@@Tonys.Top.Tips.Workshop I was right, you've been in the industry since a while. That explains partly you find solutions that would not come newbies' mind easily.
