Description
Rev 06 (30-Oct-19): Added printing tips and slightly updated design. In short: use PETG. See red-glitter photos for latest print.
Rev 01 (05-Feb-18): Fixed bolt hole in clamp tabs. Now = dia 4.5mm.
Based on the concept of the Norwegian Creations dust boot, but drawn from scratch to fit my Boxzy 3-in-one, which uses a Makita RT0701 router. My first job with it was to machine a clear lid for the vaccum chamber so that I could see the chips fly.
- Clamping tabs are set up for an M4 socket head cap screw and M4 hex nut, but it fits snugly enough onto the dia 65mm router that I don't really need the clamping screw.
- The two exhaust ports ensure that the router's fan doesn't blow down into the chips
- The single vacuum port is designed for a household shopvac or vacuum cleaner (tapers from dia 30mm min to 31.6mm max).
- The groove around the base of the exterior was intended for glueing on a strip of bristle brush, but thin polyethylene foam simply attached with double-sided tape worked suprisingly well.
- Use M4 screws for the lid
Printing Details
Rev 06 (30-Oct-19)
- PLA prints kept failing after a period of use.
- Failure mode was delamination and/or outright fracture of PLA at clamping regions (layer seperation / cracking)
- Solution: Print in PETG which has superior layer adhesion and notable flexibility. It bends, but doesn't break.
- PETG 230C nozzle / 85C Bed / 0.2mm layer / No Supports / ~ 10 hrs
- Some minor post processing required in vacuum hose port due to bridging. I hit it with a round file, and then sand paper to smooth.
