Finally had some time and energy today to cut some aluminium profiles to build a frame for the #massspectrometer.
Still a long way to go, tomorrow I really need to clean up the room and a table for it to stand on.
Annoying built of the vacuum chamber only had screw holes on one side. Thankfully the walls are 20mm thick, so drilling 10mm holes into the other side and cutting threads in was a valid option.
Was afraid the 20mm beams would be too weak but standing like this it's actually quite stable.
