Shapeoko / Xcarve Dust Shoe

pinshape

This dust shoe is made to work with the Inventables Spindle Carriage, P/N 80031 for the quietcut spindle. It should also fit any Shakeoko, Shapeoko2 or Xcarve that has this particular spindle carriage. It's designed for a standard 2.25" shop vac hose. The shop vac hose adapter works well for other things too - like building a dust collector for your table saw, etc. Hardware Needed: 4x M5x20 SHCS to attach left and right support arms to upper dust shoe 4x M5x12 SHCS to attach vacuum adapter to upper dust shoe 3x M4x12 SHCS to attach left arm to spindle mount 12x 10mm x 3mm high strength magnets (I bought mine here: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MFHNHNW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) Brush Bristle Strip (I bought mine from amazon: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01566L3HQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) 5x M3x10 SHCS to attach Brush strip to lower dust shoe. This is a pretty straightforward build. Here's what you need to do: 1) Use superglue (or other suitable adhesive) to stick the magnets into the pockets on the lower and upper dust shoes. Make sure to get the polarity right so they hold the parts together, not push them apart! 2) Punch holes in the brush strip then screw it onto the lower dust shoe. I didn't have much luck with this part, so I might end up redesigning it for a clamp to keep the brush strip in place. But it works for now. 3) Assemble the upper dust shoe. 4) If you're careful, it'll snap onto the spindle carriage then bolt into place. 5) Attach your shop vac and start carving! Print Settings: Printer: Snowstock Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: No Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 50%+ Notes: I used Verbatim PLA at a 50%+ fill - these parts are all structural, so make sure they're solid! The parts were designed to print easily with no support. I designed the parts on Solidworks 2017. The .prt and assembly files are included for your remixing fun.
