2018: A Dust Collector Odyssey [CNC Router]

Описание: Improved Version Shown Here:    • 2019: The Dust Collector Journey Continues  

My journey to make an extremely effective 3D-printed dust collector for my CNC router—and a summary of the previous iterations that didn't really work for me.

Final router design features a circular ring of magnets that let the user easily change orientation in order to avoid hitting fixtures as needed, and easily remove to change bits.

Will also need 10-24 screws (and tap) as well as 12mm circular rare earth magnets.

3D-printing controlled by Octoprint, with the print time-lapse sequences controlled by the Octolapse plugin.

Finally, thanks to Ron at Romaxx for pointing out that the exhaust of my router was likely interfering with the clear collector's suction!
