This thing is a 80x80mm pad for vacuum tensioning.
To finish the part jou need the following things:
1x the 3d printed or cnc milled pad
2x push fitting PC8-01 (1/8" 8mm)
(e.g. https://de.misumi-ec.com/vona2/detail/221000066298/?HissuCode=PC8-01 )
thread cutter 1/8"
threadcutting in PETG has to be done verry carefully ... maximum 4 turns, than you clean the cutter and continue!!!
To tighten the last pushfit in a chain of multiple pads you can use this part:

You also can download the included Fusion360-file for modifying the part for your own requirements.
Please share your makes, modifications and improvements for the community.
I use the pad with a Thomas 2660 pump (-900mbar).
