Hi, an open-source system with some adapters already exists: it's called OsVac.

You are the tinkering version of Bob Ross and I am here for it.

Put a mount on the ceiling somewhere for storing the vacuum tube:)

imagine how useful this would’ve been when you’re workspace was your bedroom

I bought some drill bits the other day and started putting screws in random wood based furniture around the house to hang my stuff. I live in a 1 bedroom apartment and have no woodworking skills but you inspired me to do something and it felt great to do something that felt like I was making my stuff my own. Thanks man!

Projects like this are why I love 3d modeling and printing so much! Great job!

you should offer the models to each respective tool on your website for a s small fee, noting ridiculously priced, but for the time you put into it i don't wee why it wouldn't be a bad idea, food for thought!

I've gotta say this is definitely one of my favorite videos you have made yet, I was smiling the whole time I was watching. Looking forward to all the build days videos, Thanks for having us in your workshop again Evan!

Hi Evan I actually really enjoyed you showing fusion and your thought process, really helps to understand how you conceptualise your designs. I am teaching myself fusion and always look for excuses to 3d print and design things. This video is great for seeing an idea go into practical application, great work 👍.
