can you show how you made your air assist setup???

[@arturolaraya3024]

muchas gracias, excelente

[@common64]

thanks, using the thumbtacks you get a good result without big expense, thanks for the tip

[@modellbaukalender]

Thanks. Unfortunately, thumbtacks can't be bought so cheaply everywhere, but simple nails with a large head should also work ...

[@671JK]

Nice! I’m gonna make me one.

[@antitheist9976]

An incredible idea, thank you 🙂

[@modellbaukalender]

Thanks...👍

[@Ynobe513]

Thank you

[@modellbaukalender]

It was my pleasure ...

[@patrickmaartense7772]

in principle a great way and not expensive BUT there are easier and better ways using "punk style" conical nuts using a alu plate as bed ( perforated if you want) and placing these in a pattern, a 5cm spacing is practical this allows for a sturdy base as well as relative easy cleaning an other advantage is , that you can place some magnets between the pins on strategical places so your workpieces can be fixed by adding a magnet on the other side. ( think about cutting paper)

[@modellbaukalender]

Great idea I will remember when I enlarge the system

[@bacsijancsi]

Amazing idea!!! It could be a bit longer probably but still. You can also use a 10mm or similar plywood stick a thin aluplate onto it and drilling holes and putting longer nails into it.... But it is a great idea...

[@modellbaukalender]

it is also a good idea...

[@bacsijancsi]

@@modellbaukalender I found nails that is used to put tiles on roofs, thoese have wider heads than usuall. The idea is the drill 1mm 10x10mm grid onto an alu 1mm plate (I have it at home) and put the nails in the wholes from the back and stick a 3-6mm plywood to the back to secure the nails. If I just stick the nails onto the alu plate with CA it can be broken easily but this would help to keep on it's place...hopfully :-)))) But you solution is also great!!!! It just would might be better to keep more distance from the material and the base

[@superdexterboyz]

Great idea, where did you get the tacs from and what are they called?

[@omkr0122]

Nailed it!

[@user-de4hh6mp3x]

Nice idea but it didn’t look very level? May of been the camera angle

[@danfraser7286]

I wish there was something like this available in Canada, sadly not that I could find.

[@modellbaukalender]

Perhaps you can buy large flat head roofing nails, they should work the same too.

[@common64]

they are Thumbstacks that you should easily find (in some Chinese store or stationery shop) it seems strange to me that you do not find them in Canada

I have not made the bet yet, ordered this morning 13mm x 3mm Clout Nails Qty 390 for £4.50 from Amazon Just revieved, making bed tomorrow. TIMco GEC13MB Galvanized ELH Clout Nails 13 x 3.00 - (0.5kg Bag)

[@modellbaukalender]

I don't know how exactly these nails are processed, but normally they should be sufficient.

[@IronMan-yg4qw]

genious! can i use staples in strips or part strips? ie. glue staples upside down. staples are cheaper. how much length do you need? or i could staple the back side of card stock with staples.!?

[@modellbaukalender]

staples may also a good idea, length i think 8 to 10mm are enough

[@IronMan-yg4qw]

@@modellbaukalender great! thx

[@IronMan-yg4qw]

or.. just drive small nails into thin plywood? or... stapling lengths of wire to thin plywood? or just hot gluing the wire? or.. what about gluing or stapling a grill rack? or.. what about those plastic bird spikes? or.. cat scat mat? or .75 inch screws through a thin plywood sheet.

[@bazmarc]

@@IronMan-yg4qw great idea, ya nail tack are $35 for 100 i calculated i'd need 1200!! that's over 300 bucks!! i think rows of 5/8" T50 staples into a white foamcore - that i would staple through into styrofoam while i make it might work perfect plus from what i gather my ortur 20w laser doesn't cut thru white so it should last a while! Will give that a try :) thanks @modelbau and @deadpool for great ideas

[@theressafortier]

How do you deal with residue build up over time?

[@modellbaukalender]

I can not say it yet. But it's not that much

[@djoleat]

Why you not put nail on head ( to be head up)? it's easy to make board

[@modellbaukalender]

Because the point of support should be as small as possible.

[@donaldforen8535]

I see what appears to be a bottle of glue ? Are you glueing each thumbtack or does the tight spacing lock the thumbtacks in ?

[@modellbaukalender]

Yes, on every thumbtack i used one drop of glue ;-)

[@miuix4795]

@@modellbaukalender is that super glue?

[@modellbaukalender]

@@miuix4795 yes, super glue

Air pump power ?? lt/min ????

[@modellbaukalender]

It's only a few liters, but I'll test how much comes out of my compressor.

[@Pixelpanscher]

Das Wichtigste hast Du nicht gezeigt! Dass man die Nägel lackieren muss, damit sie nicht reflektieren.

[@modellbaukalender]

Wieso lackieren? Ohne Schutzvorrichtung oder Brille sollte man derartige Geräte sowieso nicht betreiben und nach ein paar Stunden Schnitt ist die Platte sowieso schwarz....
