Cyclone Separator

thingiverse

This is my custom Cyclone Separator designed to efficiently separate dust and other particles from small CNC machines. It seamlessly integrates with a 775 DC-motor, which is connected via a relay to the CNC-tool. As soon as the tool begins spinning, so does the separator. A conveniently added filter holder features a carbon filter that comes into play only when dealing with very fine dust particles. Keep in mind that this attachment can limit airflow, so use it judiciously. I have built upon the Customizable Centrifugal Fan Generator by Z80nm and made some modifications to suit my needs. Two variants of nuts are included, one offering 0.1 mm clearance and the other providing 0.20 mm clearance. It's worth noting that the original fan design may not be capable of handling high speeds. I am actively working on a revised version to address this issue. For those interested in optimizing motor performance, I recommend exploring alternative designs like the one featured at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3838352.
