CNC AUTO PRESSURE PLATE WITH VACUUM CHAMBER

thingiverse

CNC PRESSURE PLATE WITH ADVANCED VACUUM CHAMBER Equipped with 2-inch and 40mm hose connections for seamless integration. The pressure plate serves as a crucial tool for securing large, difficult-to-handle sheets of material to the sacrificial plate. This eliminates the need for cumbersome "tabs" unless perfection is the ultimate goal, in which case tabs are still the best option. Optimal performance is achieved when working with thin materials that require a single pass through the machine. The pressure plate utilizes 3D printed springs; however, it's highly recommended to replace them with superior alternatives to ensure exceptional results and prolonged usage. A flat pressure plate shoe is designed for smooth operation. It's essential to verify its surface finish and apply a layer of wax to the contact area for optimal performance. Thoroughly clean all contact surfaces and ensure that every part moves effortlessly. The Vac Room comes in three versions, each with a distinct surface offset from the shoe: 0.4mm, 0.8mm, and 1.2mm. All parts undergo rigorous quality control checks to eliminate any naked edges or errors, guaranteeing printability. However, the design's success depends on its overall feasibility and compatibility. This design is optimized for printing without support in most cases.
