You can probably get a vacuum generator from aliexpress, but I already had a vac pump for this. In fact I was only missing 1 connector to build this.

This is the vacuum generator I used. It is the Festo VN with silencer and it is really solid !

This means you don't need a vacuum pump, but just any compressor. Easy.
Any questions just ask in comments !
