Cyclone dust collector - low profile

prusaprinters

<p>I have remixed this cyclone THINGIVERSE 1447214, to use on my CNC machine. I needed connections for standard 2.25-inch vacuum hoses a small capture container with a wide mouth.</p> <p>I made the cyclone from PLA with 6 layers and 30% infill. I think it is overbuilt and 5 layers with 20% should be enough. The remaining parts where 20% and 5 layers. The PLA makes nice treads but they need working together for a smooth fit. The mason jar threads fit perfect with the peanut butter jars on the first try.</p> <p>The mason jar was a remix from CANNING JAR LIDS - THINGIVERSE 19105. I chose canning jars because they are readily available in grocery stores in durable clear plastic. Mine comes from peanut butter jars. I have made an adaptor for small and large jars, so you can choose the size jar for your needs.</p> <p>This cyclone does not attach at the base (which is an advantage) and so needs to the hanger. The hanger is printed from PETG, 5 layers 20% infill.</p> <p>The vacuum part took 70 hours to print and is the only part needing supports. Printing time: cyclone part 30 hours, hanger 20 hours, jar adaptor 6 hours. It is a long print, be for me it was worth it.</p> <h3> Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Prusa</p> <p><p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Prusa Mk2</p></div><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p><p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>Yes</p></div><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>standard</p> <p><p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>20%</p></div></p> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>supports only needed on the base part where the vacume hoses connect. Infill of 20% in enough but suggest increasing the layers - 5 should be max.</p> <h3> How I Designed This</h3> <p>I used Tinkercad to remake the stl file</p> </p></p></p> Category: Tools
