Re: vacuum pump
It really all depends on the size of the chamber. I use a hand powered vacuum pump, but my chamber is maybe 0.5 liter.
My understanding is that 3CFM should work reasonably for about 1 cubic foot (7.48 gallons / 35l) and will struggle as it goes up in volume.
A proper vacuum pump has been on my list for a long time now.
