CarveWright Dust Collector

thingiverse

This dust collector is designed for the CarveWright CNC carver. I've seen numerous models available, but this simple design lacks a similar offering on Thingiverse. By sharing this design, others can enhance their CarveWright experience without incurring additional expenses. This design has proven effective for me and reduces airborne dust during carving by 90%, keeping my machine cleaner with less vacuuming and blowing between projects. The hose adapter is tapered to fit a small shop vac's 1-1/4" outlet.\nThe four parts must be bonded together. I use high-quality thick cyanoacrylate adhesive (super glue) for bonding, recommending the 2P-10 brand with accelerator, which I utilize frequently on many of my 3D prints.\nPlease note that this design works perfectly on my N01 model from 2007. However, I do not know if later or earlier machines will work with this design. Check the overall opening width, thickness at bottom and top, and modify the STL files as necessary.\nYou will need to trim the clear plastic cover shield back slightly to accommodate this attachment - a common requirement for aftermarket dust collectors. There are limit switches mounted at the top of the shield that produce a "tik" sound when raising or lowering the shield. I cut mine below the "tik" mark and 1/8" above flush with the side metal edges. Research thoroughly before cutting the shield, as this will void any existing warranty with CarveWright. \nPrint Settings\nPrinter Brand: FlashForge\nPrinter: Creator Pro\nRafts: No\nSupports: No\nResolution: Standard\nInfill: 10%
