Hi Corbin! This was my first 3d print, got it done locally. Mate this is astounding quality. Thank-you, I'm truly grateful you chose to share this perfect design. I'm your fan!
when I downloaded it today, I got a f3z file which, when I tried loading into fusion360, gave an error about single-user storage vs team storage. I solved it by unzipping the f3z file (using unzip, but you have to change the file extension) and loading the f3d file instead. Hopefully, that's just a user error. My spindle is a 65mm diameter spindle with 4" collector hose. Not one of your existing stl sizes. Thanks either way. If the shoe is as thoroughly thought out as the video, I'll be very happy. nice work
Hi Miles - I'd recommend upgrading to team storage, it'll give you more features in Fusion, and I hear they are eventually going to force all users to move to teams (even if you are a single user, like me). I specifically use one feature called "Configurations", which allow it to switch between different settings being shown. I do mention this in the download, but it is easy to miss. I have no idea how the file will behave by extracting out the .f3d file, so proceed at your own caution! But yeah, you should be able to set the parameters for the spindle size you have. The only issue I've seen people have with small spindles is the back of the shoe hitting the gantry, as that size is rather fixed. I know some people have fixed it by editing the file. Best of luck!
Thanks! The part # and link is in the description: www.corbinsworkshop.com/shop/cnc-dust-shoe-v2-stls-and-fusion-360-parametric-design-for-3d-printing/ I might need to highlight it more, as I've had a few people ask me. It's also noted in the readme.txt of the download.
It can definitely be a problem! I should show a photo of my setup: I ran a thin copper wire around my dust hose, just loosely wrapping it, and going to an outlet on the wall, connecting it to the EMT with a screw or bolt. Before I did that I would get little shocks from the static whenever I touched the boot after it was running for a while. After I did the grounding that problem went away. It never affected the machine, but more sensitive machines sometimes simply stop due to this issue.
You mean, to move it up and down for a tool change? I haven't done this...but it would be no different than the other operations in Mach 4. You hookup some available pin output to be activated and add code to activate it. You could base it off the code I added to turn the spindle fan on and off; but instead of a fan, it just activates a solenoid to add air to a cylinder.
..and to elaborate: My preference was to not do this, and instead make the dust boot "slim" enough to allow 10 tools on a 4' wide machine. If you moved the dust boot out of the way during a change, you could easily get a lot more tools on a rack.

Awesome, I'm glad it worked out for yah!
Thank you, Corbin!
No problem!
Thank you for sharing your files
No problem, happy to help out the community!
Hi Corbin, i've just loaded your V3 and i'll see it tomorrrow..Thank's a lot for that and a big thumb up for your video...Phil
Awesome! Let me know if it works out for yah.

@@CorbinDunn plus I'm realizing now that using teams does NOT mean upgrading to a paid sub. Nice side effect of the video.
@@milesmccoo Oh yeah, I should have probably started by mentioning that!
Thanks.
You're welcome, thanks!
Nice work. What's the McMaster P/N for the brush?

what about the static electricity in the vacuum hose ?
It can definitely be a problem! I should show a photo of my setup: I ran a thin copper wire around my dust hose, just loosely wrapping it, and going to an outlet on the wall, connecting it to the EMT with a screw or bolt. Before I did that I would get little shocks from the static whenever I touched the boot after it was running for a while. After I did the grounding that problem went away.

How about to add a pneumatic cylinder for the dust booth?
