Budget vacuum pump suggestion
Posted: Fri Dec 18, 2020 6:17 pm
Hey guys
im just about finished building my mold and getting the materials ready for my first build.
i need to figure out what im going to do about a vacuum pump. i saw this one on ebay for super cheap [https://www.ebay.com/p/6032166751?iid=303813866596] is there a general range for how strong of a vacuum is required to press a board? im going to use vacuum film, breather fabric, and vacuum sealant tape to secure it to the aluminum surface, but im not sure how to attach the hose to the film. is it better to have the hose split into two and pull air out from different locations?
thanks in advance!
