CNC Vacuum PAD's 3D printed [with .stl & Fusion 360 files] 

It is recommended to add a particle filter in the air path before reaching the pump - milled-off chips might otherwise ruin it.

I'll give a thumbs up just on the vacuum block alone! Well done. Thanks for sharing.

Nicely done, good engineering never looks overly complex.

I discovered you channel today and have been blown away by your work, absolutely outstanding! German engineering at it's best...

Me: looks at the geometry Me: how do you machine something like this??? 5 seconds later Ah yes, 3D printing, of course.

The round support blocks that you show in this video - are they also your design? Assuming that, are their stl files avaliable too? Thanks for your work!

Awesome. The solution I have been looking for as I decide how to setup my spoil board...movable vacuum love it! Around 10:55 , what are the black puck looking devices? They appear to give some kind of lateral support and height support to match the vacuum pad. 3d printed also? Thank you very much for sharing your design and expertise!

Hi Hilmar, great project - printed 4 of the pads but have still to connect them to the vacuum pump. What kind of remote control is the one you show in the video to switch on/off the pump? Can you tell where I can get one of them or how you made them? Want to have one of them as well for my CNC machine. Keep up the good work! Thanks

nice but i would add some aluminium foil around the hoses to protect them in case the laser goes too deep.

Nice mill bed style drill press bed can you share some more info on the mill bed you use on that drill press ? 😊

Sehr schön gemacht. Ich hätte eine Frage ausserhalb der Vakuumpads: Was für Werte hat das 3D Gedruckte Gewinde in der Front? Ich weiß ist ein 1/4 Zoll, bekomme aber grundsätzlich kein Gewinde ordentlich gedruckt mit 1/4 Zoll. Da druckt er einfach nichts. Bei Deinen Vakuumpads hat er allerdings gedruckt... Daher die Frage!

I’m trying to decide if this is worth it. Over double sided tape.

Fantastic Job! What are your print settings to keep the pads from leaking? Also what are those valves you use?

Schönes Projekt, wieder was gelernt! Wo hast du den Tisch auf der Bohrmaschine her?

Hi I have a vacuum pump like the one you show and I see the inlet blue hose but how come there are two outlets on this vacuum pump. It looks like a pressure relief value on the right side but what is the left brass fitting for. If you can help it would be greatly appreciated or is it a outlet hole the get rid of the air that it is sucking in from the blue hose.

Great video, what is the vaccum adhesive film form? Also, could you not just daisy chain your pads by adding and another inlet / outlet?

What infill and material did you use? Is the filament to pourus for the vacuum and did you seal it with anything?

Hi Theiss! I'm trying to build with my 3d printer a vacuum pad to use in a cnc wood machine. I've seen your video and I'd like to know what is the function of adhesive film.. to help the addhesion? but with the use, it will lose properties, won't it? Thanks a lot from Spain.

What happens if you need to cut where the vacuum pads are? Wouldn’t it loose suction then? I guess you could just be careful to place them not in the way but that could get dicey on some parts and you might accidentally cut your vacuum pads but now that I think about it would probably only cut the rubber seal around the edge which is cheap to replace if damaged. I wonder what the clearance is when that is holding a piece of wood down at full vacuum.

hello, a question, does the pump that creates the vacuum always remain active during processing or does it turn off as soon as it creates the vacuum?

Hola, ¿qué es mejor un pad o una mesa de vacio? para sujertar piezas grandes.

Hello, wonderful videos, thanks a lot for sharing. What infill percentage are you using to print the pad? Thanks!

Oh man... hey brother what is that slide you have for your table saw?! Did you build that or buy it? Would you be able to pass along that info please and thank you! Ps. Great idea with the pads

hey. really cool stuff. ps. The way you cut off with the angle grinder is really scary. why don't you move the rod to the left side of the vice ?!?!? ?!?!!??!?!

Tolle kleine Helferlein... Vielen Dank für die Files und das hervorragende Video! Wo bekommt man das Verteilerrohstück aus Alu mit der Längsbohrung in der Mitte? Ich habe dich nicht umsonst abonniert, da ich Ideen von deiner multifunktionalen CNC-Fräse auch in meine „Neue“ einfliessen lasse. Hast du auch ein Video zur Herstellung des Vakuumtisches auf deiner Fräse? Was verwendest du als Opferunterlage? Liebe Grüße aus dem Breisgau, Pierre

Any particular reason for not printing the distribution block ? Nice work regardless

What vacuum pump results are you have achieved? Could you recommend other vacuum pump? Thanks,

Do you remember the heat with which you produced it? Bed Heat and pla Heat? I tried but ist doesnt Work. LG

what purpose does the adhesive film serve?

Nice video and very interesting solution. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with Fusion 360 and I would like to have a M8 thread for the vacum connection and a M6 for the Holder point, do you have such solution?

I have a commercial CNC router and want to add a laser to it but the company I got it from doesn't offer an add on laser. Do you know if that can be added to an existing machine? What software controls it? And can any stealth laser be used? I'm wanting to engrave wood/ metal hopefully single pass 200 ipm

Is your vacuum pump running for the entirety of the cut? I wondered if the valve could keep the vacuum sealed once created.

Стаф шикарный! Одного не понял: разметка и кернение при наличии крестового стола на сверлилке. Без лимбов?

Hallo, habe bei dem Videoclip den Laser zum Gravieren an Deiner Maschine gesehen. Welches Modell oder was für ein Typ ist das?

trop bien merci pour la présentation de cette pièce

Hello, very good job, can you tell me what type of screw you use for your central screw, do you have a link for both part the vacuum and the table I would like to buy the same. thank you

@08:55 I guess it is working for you, but I'd probably had those arranged in a staggered arrangement for an easier access to the valves without the neighbouring ones blocking my fingers. That being said though... I believe those FESTO ( or Festo like ) connectors are meant to be used for positive pressure only like an air blast system, not a negative one found in a vacuum system. Also... Any particular reason why you choose 3D Printing the pards instead of like using a material like Delrin? I mean... It's not like you don't have a CNC to make the parts using it 🤔

Nice aber deine Motor Tunings musst du noch ein wenig anpassen, die laufen ja im Vollschritt. Sehr grob.

What temp settings and speed settings are you running And what slicer I can’t get this to print for the life of me I get to about 4mm thick then it curls up and fails

Wonderful - Vielen Dank! I see you cutting aluminium with a regular wood saw. Does it work properly and is it safe?

Really neat. Any drawings for the pods?

dang boy, love it

Hi, did you have any problems screwing the connector into the pad? I broke the pad trying to fit it in. Not a huge problem, I can print another one. But I like to tackle the problem. Thanks.

well done! Great printing, application and design!! I love it! Also great video!! ;) Are those jaws also 3D Printed ? *Are you on linkedin?

Hi, did your table saw swivel?what kind of machine is that? It looks like it has a sliding table but I've never seen one that can pivot. What is that action for?

What is the adhesive tape for?

Hi your vacuum pads are ace i have printed 3 so far iam unable to get hold of the alsan adhesive film is there a substitute for this and can you tell me what its for ?

What a great piece of art!

You do need to be very careful not to cut through a vacuum port with a CNC bit.

This is awesome! I need to make this!

which Cnc do you use?

This is brilliant 👌

Hi, can you tell me what filament you use for the 3D printing of the pieces and the slicer settings? Thanks

Did you print the pads at 100% infill?

Cetvelle yapılacak işi başka aletle yapıyor. Dik olması için frezede yapılacak işi elde yapıyor.

Table saw setup seems a bit dangerous

Do some real tests of this vacuum holders...

looks like made in germany. very nice!

What does the apostrophe between pad and s mean ?

Gut!

Do you install on and off the laser module depending on the use? Is there a reason why leaving it attached all the time would be counterproductive?

Thank you

hello want to ask what kind of material you have used for the realization of the vacuum pad

Wozu ist denn die Folie gut?

that gantry looks like it weighs a metric fuck load

Mattley artigiano digitale Copy you video

Excellent...
