I built a physical deposition chamber, for now it's just evaporative deposition but I plan on adding a few other variants. The thin films created can be used in many ways.
The chamber still has a ton of space leftover and I have some more equipment coming so hopefully I can do more interesting things.
Sorry there's no footage of lathing the feedthroughs, they worked nice with a cut oring and some heat shrink. Make sure you cut a slot down the holding screw threads to vent behind em. The 2 copper feedthroughs allow (with a center tap) 2 tungsten boats with different metals so I can avoid opening the chamber in a multi layer coating.
The pump down takes about 45 min. to get to 10e5. I can use a small steel hemisphere with a kf40 hose on the top for use with a secondary high vacuum chamber. The shutter was aluminum flashing with some steel stuck on one side so a neodymium magnet on the outside of the bell jar could move it around without a feedthrough.
This build was really fun

I got everything from mcmaster, K.j lesker, ebay and what I already had

This did cost a bit to make:
diffusion pump $160
mechanical pump$140
plate $270 (ouch!)
valves $90
gauges $200
misc vacuum stuff $120
bell jar $140 (stupid)
other stuff maybe $100?
