see I was thinking a good strong box with a 1\2" acrylic top
the "ports" for the electrical pass through and vac being permanent and in the box body
and the top having the pass through for water tubes, you make as many tops as hose configs you have and suspend the die and block from the tubes, there being extra heater cartridge wire in the bottom of the box to pull it all out and work on.
leaving just a good tube connection (NPT vs barb) and tube support against the vaccum (an internal wire with a plastic tube would induce a different flow, but you could always use a reinforced braided or more rigid automotive rubber hose for the last 3 inches)
Im looking to buy one of those 1151's we where talking about in the other thread what is the smart range indicitive of?
actually making the whole thing out of thick acrylic would be nice theater
a little LED edge lighting too
