On September 20th, the second edition of LagenLand took place. This is an evening meetup organized at Maakplek hackerspace in Groningen, where people come to showcase their 3D-printing projects and learn from each other. This time, I had the pleasure of giving a “flash talk” about my 3D-printed vacuum tables for desktop CNC machines.
I own a DIY CNC milling machine and occasionally need a vacuum table, rather than a vice, to hold flat stock during engraving. Some time ago, I decided to explore the topic of “vacuum workholding” and challenge the precision of my Bambu X1 Carbon printer. Initially, I tried too hard with many “brilliant” ideas, but in the end, the simplest solution turned out to be the most effective. I shared a bit about this journey with fellow 3D-printing enthusiasts at LagenLand.
