X-Carve Dust Collection - Redux

thingiverse

I wanted to merge the best elements of two designs, but I made it better fit my machine. The slide-in design from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2571411 was a great starting point, and the armature connection from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2173106 added a crucial element. To attach plates to arms, I use brass inserts and have made some with 5mm nut holes for those who don't have them. However, I haven't tested these yet. To install this mount, you'll need to remove the Z-axis motor or use the original three-piece mount from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2173106, which is included here. Be sure to check if your printer's arms will fit before printing parts. This design requires a lot of plastic, and in hindsight, buying a Suckit! boot from www.suckitdustboot.com might have been the smarter choice.
