X-Carve 2.5" ID Vacuum Hose Mount for dust shoe

thingiverse

Here is my design to secure a 2.5" ID vacuum hose to a dust shoe on the X-Carve CNC machine. The hose is held at a 45-degree angle from the machine, out of the way of the intake for the router, and high enough to secure to a higher origin point. The elbow is an intentionally loose fit to the boot, to facilitate easy removals when the boot is being removed. It seals well, and is held tightly to the boot by the arm. Hardware Required: (1) 2 1/4" #2 (possibly #3) machine screw with nut to assemble hinge. (3) 1/2" M4x0.7mm cap screws to attach to router mount Vacuum Hose: (1) 2.5" Powertec 70129 Flexible PVC Dust Collection Hose - http://a.co/aR8khtL Optional: 1" thick foam gasket (or any type of soft material) inserted into the clasp relief pocket to better secure the hose and reduce vibration. This bracket works well with nmackes' Dewalt DWP 611 Dust Shoe: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1243484
