Central Machinery 4"x36" Belt Sander Wet/Dry Vac Sawdust Collector

thingiverse

Introducing the game-changing attachment that will revolutionize your cleanup process. After putting the Central Machinery 4"x36" belt and disk sander to the test, we were stunned by its inability to perform due to an overwhelming amount of sawdust it kicked off. To overcome this major issue, we created a clever attachment that allows you to connect a wet/dry vacuum to your belt sander. Its outside diameter measures 58mm, making it compatible with larger vacuum tubes, while its inside diameter ranges from 1 1/4" to 1 3/4", giving you the flexibility to use it with almost any vacuum. The uniquely designed part at the top of the attachment connects seamlessly to a 5/8" ID flexible tube, which then attaches to the bottom guard on the disk sander, ensuring that all sawdust is collected. For more information and detailed installation instructions, check out our comprehensive Unboxing, Assembly, Review, and Modification video. If none of the measurements mentioned above fit your shop vacuum, we had you in mind when designing this attachment, allowing you to easily customize it by simply modifying a few numbers in our public Onshape document. Update 1: We added a 1 1/4" fitting for smaller vacuums and increased wall thickness for improved durability. Update 2: We completely redesigned the attachment to make it over 30% more filament-efficient, requiring significantly fewer supports, making printing faster and easier. Update 3: We added an adapter that can fit into the 1 3/4" version of the vac attachment, allowing you to convert it into a 1 1/4" fitting in case you accidentally print the wrong version. Update 4: We increased the surface area touching the print bed for improved adhesion and a smoother printing experience. Print Settings: Printer: FlashForge Creator Pro Rafts: It doesn't matter; feel free to use your preferred method. Supports: Yes, we recommend using supports for optimal results. Resolution: Use your default settings for the best possible outcome. Infill: Aim for 10-20% infill density for a good balance between speed and strength. Filament: Polymaker PLA is our recommended choice due to its excellent printing characteristics. Notes: To minimize supports, make sure to print the attachment standing upright (with the bent tube part on top). Don't own a 3D printer? No problem!
