Suckit Vacuum Hose Boom - Metric Remix

thingiverse

I needed a Hose Boom for my Shapeoko3 XXL and found the nice design made by <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/Makerrmark/about">Mark</a><p> As we can't buy aluminium tubes in Denmark by inch I converted it to Metric. It should fit a tube with a diameter of 25mm My printer is making the <s>first</s>, <s>second</s>, <s>third</s>, <s>hose boom end cab</s> <s>first</s>, <s>second</s>, <s>third</s>, 2 spare hose clamp right now. Note that you need to print two pieces of the <i>02_Hose_Boom_Tube_Link_Metric.stl</i> And 3 pieces of the <i>04_1.875_Vacuum_Hose_Clip,stl</i> to finish assembly. <u>Base ready</u>. Needs a little sanding for the alutube to turn smoothly. Printet in PLA with 60% infill <u>First and second Hose Boom Connector ready</u> Fits the tube better than the base. Printet in PLA with 60% infill <u>End Cab is also finished</u> Printet in PLA with 60% infill <u>Hose Clamps finished</u> Printet in red PLA. 50% infill. Make to spares if one should break First I mounted the base to a piece of wood to get an idea of what the finish product will look like. When finished I will screw the base to the floor in the enclosure. But first I will do some test drives. I have cut the aluminium tubes to length. I make then a little bit longer than the original, because I think the holes I made was deeper than the original design. <ul> <li>1 piece 27 cm <li>2 pieces 20 cm </ul> When I made a test fit with a vacuum hose today I could see that the last tube was not long enough. So for that peace I used the rest tube, which is ca 30 cm long. I 'dry mounted' it with wirestrips and bungycord and turn on my router. If you look at <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/gfisher/about">Gabe Fishers </a> <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/make:579694">and his very nice make</a> he did the same and looks like a good solution. I am very pleased to see how smooth it turns and follow the router. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjSDxgx-duU The product is finished but not in working order. I need a longer vacuum hose, which I ordered from http://fnugfri.dk today. (Fnugfri is danish for fluff free or lint free) They have a anti-static version which I choose to avoid static dust on the tube I put the clamps on today and it turns out really good. I have a nice and steady hold to the tube I am looking forward to finish this easy design, which add so much extra value to my CNC machine Update 24-02-2019 Make a new design for arm base today. I have run som test with arm on my maschine and decided I wantet a tighter fit 03-04-2017 My Suckit Dustboot arrived from Canada yesterday. It was heavier than expected but also very easy to install on my Shapeoko 3. Now its looks as it has been a part of the machine from beginning. I made a remix of <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/Nolanator/about">Nolantor's</a> hose adapter found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2809355 I did not change the part under the flange but only made the top wider (47mm) to fit my vaucum hose. The bottom part did only need a very little bit of sanding to match the Suckit Dustboot perfectly Boom is finish and I supplied it with a SuckIt Dustboot. Every works nice and as expected https://youtu.be/k7R5yGHzIHk
