I can speak/type more about this.Â
The orange beast on the bottom shelf is an awesome vacuum pump but spews a mist of oil and air out the exhaust port when run (off 220v). They sell oil separators for the unit but we would also need to get some adapters to connect things. Since it is a fancy pump used with electron microscopes nothing is cheap.Â
I can make a vote proposal to get a "good enough" vac pump for around $100. Should we also fold in another shop vac for the system? I think one runs around $100. I'll write up a vote proposal for $200 to get the equipment.Â
Have we gotten an owner for this? I'm thinking it would be part of the FabLab warden responsibility.Â
