This is made to be compatible with my other model set that includes a casting flask. It should fit most ring sized flasks. Measure and compare before printing your own if using another flask.
I've seen a few versions of this concept around the internet to help in casting precious metals by rapidly evacuating the gasses as the metal fills your molds. The air mattress pump I used does a great job with the base attached to the intake of the pump.
I will likely add another adapter for a hose to make it easier to set up on a work bench.
I've uploaded the model in parts and a whole version. You can slice it as needed to accommodate your printer.
I used a healthy helping of CA glue to put the parts together and had to sand a little to accommodate some warp I encountered in my initial print.
As always I have included the fusion file should you want to tweak it for your own designs.
