MPCNC vacuum attachment

thingiverse

This is a modified version of brandroid64's vacuum mount design. It employs the same gantry mounting technique and rod connector STL file as the original. The design was optimized for use with the DW660, but there's no reason why it wouldn't work just as well with a 52mm spindle. My revised design accommodates a 2.5" hose, although other diameters can be used with a suitable adapter. You have two options when it comes to fabrication: print the entire assembly in 3D or use a CNC machine to cut the plates and then 3D print the adapter. The hose guide plate is optional, but ensure that the weight of the hose isn't pulling on the gantry. I've solved this issue by suspending my hose from the ceiling using a bungee cord. When positioning the plate, avoid placing it too close to your stock, as large cut pieces might be sucked up and cause problems. On the other hand, if you position it too high, it may limit your maximum cutting depth.
