    Plans for a DIY vacuum bed. Easy to make. It’s for my XTool D1, but easily adaptable to any laser. Made from quarter sheet of MDF.

    Nice, I may do something similar for holding a large sheet of paper and stencil down. I am curious what the ideal vacuum is for such an application. Can an aquarium pump handle the task or is something more powerful needed?

    I use a shop vac. The little pumps take too long to create enough suction
