Simply use your personnal vaccuum or shop vac. Place your material on the top ring, with double face tape. Place your part on the grid. Heat up your material with a heat gun or hair dryer. Start your vaccuum. When the material is soft enough, simply drop it on the model and press firmly on the ring to create a good seal. The rest will be done by the vaccuum. ;) I used recycled PET packaging. (like the ones for muffins or pastries). Works very well. You have an exploded view to help you assemble the whole thing. All the files are already placed in the right orientation. Everything fits an Ender 3 bed. Use M5 for the legs, and M3 screws for the box assembly and the connecting elbow. I have also included three TPU gaskets. (Optionnal). The round one goes between main box and elbow. Gasket 001 between the main box and the grid. Gasket 002 between the grid and the material ring. They are included, but seriously, didnt see any difference with or without the gaskets. So its up to you to put them or not. Also, the legs were updated with a flange and 3 holes at the bottom. So if you wanna clamp the system to a table, or screw it to a bench, you can.
