Mostly printed CNC Makita RT0701C sliding dust shoe + mount

Still Under Development - Nonetheless Very Effective :) After the first test run of the Makita router, it was immediately clear to me that I badly needed a dust shoe. The Makita blows its exhaust directly down and scatters all the dust everywhere. With that said, I quickly assembled this dust shoe and have to say it's very effective at its job. Here are some options for you to consider: You can print the entire mount with wings attached in one go. However, you'll need supports, and it may take a very long time to complete as a whole. Printing only the mount took me about 12 hours, while each wing almost an hour to print. Looking at it now, with supports not even considered, I can only imagine how long it would take. Alternatively, you can take just the four wings and attach them separately using double composite epoxy glue or something similar, which seems a bit excessive as they don't hold much weight but are enough to keep the dust shoe in place.
