ShopBot Desktop CNC Dust Shield Brackets

thingiverse

These are brackets that slide into the T-slots of the aluminum bed of your Shopbot Desktop, and likely other Shopbot tools and many other CNCs. It lets you craft a thin ply, lexan, whatever material you want shield that you've glued the "feet" parts onto so it can slide onto the bracket. This makes for a quick and easy attach/remove guard to keep dust and chips off of your rails thus reducing the risk of errors and increasing the longevity of your bearings. I'm putting 4 brackets on each side of my table, which is 18 inches long, so I will print 8 brackets, 8 washers, and 16 feet to glue to the actual shield itself. On top of this, I'll use one machine screw and one T-nut per bracket as seen in the pictures. Print Settings: Printer Brand: LulzBot Printer: Mini Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: .25 Infill: 30%
