FAFO presents: Gardena to ISO KF 16 High Vacuum adapter.
@fafo no. No. Nonononono
@whitequark Sorry... is this better?
@fafo @whitequark
That's just a pneumatic fitting at this point. Add in a POM ring and some epoxy and this stuff can hold 10^-6 for a month.
@Iris_IllEra @fafo @whitequark I am _very_ tempted to design and manufacture a high vacuum version of the connector side of this, too. Because yeah, there's no reason this shouldn't work as a high vacuum fitting!
@q3k @fafo @whitequark Just use more POM and dental amalgams.
@q3k @fafo @whitequark No reason for electron microscope column to be that different from a tooth
