3D Printed CNC dust shoe

thingiverse

Here is my attempt at a Dust collection/vac setup for Nikodem Bartnik's 3D printed Dremmel CNC machine. (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3004773) This is set up for a 1.25" hose (you can use bigger with an adapter ABOVE the clamp). Be careful removing the supports from the upper unit as the part that slips over the Z axis is VERY VERY thin (by design). It probably will print only 1-2 layers thick (but that's enough...) You WILL need to cut the locking nut of the dremmel down some to allow the threads to catch to hold the dremmel in place due to the added thickness. I suggest printing 2-3 of the bottom plates, attach the brushes and then cut them to different lengths - this way as your milling goes deeper, you can pause your job, swap the plate out for one with shorter bristles and then continue and not have the brushes get in the way of the milling. I used 4 rare earth magnets (8x3 mm) NOT glued into the top (just let them float so they will automatically flip to the proper polarity when you attach the bottoms). Use 4 more into each lower plate (glued in, I used Superglue...) For the brushes I used: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07P7FNFK7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Cut to the right length and press fit into place, glue if you'd like (superglue or Gorilla glue). Print at .2mm layer thickness or lower. Supports ON. I used PETG, but PLA should work as well.
