Dust collector for CNC

thingiverse

I needed a dust collector for my CNC but I couldn't find one matching my hoover pipe diameter and mounting holes so I decided to design one from scratch. I also uploaded the OpenSCAD model so you can customize it or get inspired, or look at the code. It's not the cleanest code, sorry, but it's better than nothing! The dust collector has 4xM4 mounting holes on a 50mm square and is working quite well for collecting most of the dust. However, some big chips are still being ejected and I need to design a curtain made with hairs that will attach under it to catch 100% of the removed material - coming soon! To create this design in OpenSCAD, I used these models as references: the Kress spindle mount and the spindle mount for Kress spindle.
