Fit-check prototype
Check how the board seats in the frame and whether the vacuum seal holds across the seating surface.

Bonding fixture
Weekend progress
I simplified the suction fixture into a one-piece frame with suction coming directly from below and removed the extra ribs. The CAD and STL/3MF files are ready for a fit-check prototype. The next step is to check the board seating, vacuum seal, and stability before using it for bonding.
Before bonding
Verify stability under suction and during handling. Prototype fit is the next step before bonding use.
