Vacuum Chamber Inlet Softener

i didn't like having to clean my vacuum pump if i opened the valve too fast, so i made this. keeps your liquids in their containers.

tl;dr: hot set vacuum gauge nut into your favorite plastic during a pause, free palestine

loose instructions:

1. pick your nozzle (.4 recommended, .6 works)
2. import to slicer, block supports on the nut pocket (top)
3. insert a pause at the last layer before the “cap” prints
4. start print
5. occupy yourself while you wait for the pause (watch some tech ingredients, make a coffee and let it get cold as you ponder creation, free palestine, etc)
6. remove the nut that holds the vacuum chamber gauge to the lid
7. on pause, insert nut. if it isn't flush or won't set, take your favorite directional heat source and metal bed scraper; set the nut, then slowly and push it into the part with the hot scraper until it's flush. 
8. one way or the other, if you hear any bumping, immediately babystep your z UP
9. attach and enjoy your new life of careless valve slamming

you may need:

• heat source
• metal scraper
• to call your doctor if condition persists for more than 4 hours

i just left supports on. works fine, but make sure there's an airflow path before you print. printed mine in PETG.

this is my first upload. i am not an engineer, or 3d artist, or even that intelligent. i just figured i'd share this since it actually works. feel free to call me on my bad design, it won't get better otherwise.
