Dustshoe for Openbuilds Router Mount

thingiverse

Should fit any Openbuilds router/spindle mount for spindles less than 70mm diameter and standard 2.5" shop vac hoses. Fusion file is included for those that want modify for their own needs. I didn't spend a lot of time to make everything parametric and keep the timeline orderly so... make of it what you will.I printed this in PETG at 20% infill with 4 walls on all the parts in Cura and it's solid. I wouldn't suggest going any higher infill, I can't see there being much gain for the extra weight. PLA would probably be fine also, I designed this to replace this one, printed in PLA, that I used for a couple years. Materials required were pretty minimal.

They have it by the yard, but they will cut and sell you 5.5 inch or wider strips 52inches long so $24.99 per yard price isn't so scary. I think it came out to like $4 for a strip which is enough for 4 of the skirts. I made the mistake of trying to cheap out and use 12ga instead of the 40ga, 0/10 -would not recommend. spend the extra $2 and save yourself the annoyance of going back to the fabric store. You're welcome for this time and money saving tip. Assembly is pretty self explanatory, but here's the high level overview... 20mm screws and hex nuts are for the wingnuts. - if you print the wingnuts with fuzzy skin turned on, they are nice and tactile. ooooh!10mm screws are for connecting the risers to the carrier. CA glue the magnets into the carrier and boot. - Make sure to mark your magnets in a way that you will know which sides you want facing out. Magnets are magical beasts that only like to stick in certain orientations. It would really suck to glue them in to find that you were not lucky enough to hit that 1:5000 odds run of coin flips to get them all in the right directions on the first crack. Don't ask me how I know... Come on now, I know what you were thinking and I'm not that hapless... Hot melt glue the vinyl strip into the boot. It's best practice to cut some slits in the vinyl in at least a few places to avoid it wrinkling on direction changes and possibly stalling one of your axes If you print it, post your make. And definitely comment the link to me if you remix and/or make improvements. I like to see what other people come up with. Eventually I'd like to rework this to mount independent of the Z axis, but this was a "quick" prototype that will, in all likelihood, hold me over for another couple years before all the stars have aligned and motivation, ambition, and time are within reasonable proximity to one another to spur me back into action on that idea.
