Just how important is this degassing anyway? I stirred my resin vigorously, let it settle for a few minutes, then poured. I didn't even use the "pour through a small hole" technique. There were some bubbles in the resin as poured, but I paddled a bit of lolly stick back and forth to encourage the resin to find its own level, and also to remove bubbles. The few that were left were very easy to deal with once the resin was hard. It's not something that I'm going to spend much time worrying about when I come to epoxy the gantry rail mountings. For reference, that was using 500g resin/250g hardener on a similar size machine.
