Great development. I love that you showed the tape idea, also. It also shows how little effort Makita put into the issue. I hope Makita sees this video.
Soon to be included in all Makita router kits a new and improved dust collection system. Aka small roll of packing tape and the same old POS dust collector.
I had the "funnel" version of your design printed up and it worked beautifully - even with a template bushing. The Makita template plate has four holes, and the sawdust was sucked up through them. I did have to sand about 3 mm off the bottom of the funnel when using it with the template guide. Many thanks for sharing your fine work.
I don't have a 3D printer so I downloaded your file and sent it to makexyz to print. That was my first time trying a 3D printing service. I got it yesterday and it fits great and works great. Thanks!
Yes...Packing tape...my always working solution for dust extraction problem. Especially when i need to connect different size hoses and adapters / strangely shaped machine connectors to each other. ;)
Hey thank you very much for the great ideas. I actually used your file and printed the cover and dust port adapter. The cover seems to be loose. How did you fasten the cover into the base so it didn’t move when you used it?
If you're printing something like this and you've finished prototyping then there's no reason why you cant print 4 or 6 at a time so even if it does break you have plenty of spares lying around :-D
Coming from a heavy Makita user for over 30 years now. That is the problem with all those overpaid engineers, they have no clue how something that they are designing works in real life. Just all CAD and Simulation software. But I find this one very bizarre that a company like Makita (and others) can't make (design) something as simple as this to work for what it originally is made fore. Don't they test their design pieces??? I still have a working 6010 cordless drill that was from my uncle, he gave me this one in 1990, the thing was then 8 years old and heavily used. For the last 10-15 years, Makita's quality is going down.
its fine at the beginning but yeah, for the 3d printing part, voice is playing on both left and right channels and printer only on right, and after that, everything is only playing on right channel
I can’t believe Makita’s default solution is so useless! Many thanks for the hack! By the way, are you using one of Makita’s dust extractors with your router?
everything is so affordable now... my first extruder and nozle (prusa) drove me mad many years ago . now even the cheap generic chinese stuff deliver a high resolution right out of the box... wow.
Most manufactuers are very laxed when it comes to duct collection. They could sell lots more products if they put some real thought and effort in to the problem. Dust is, we know, the biggest problem in woodworking.If Cosmas can do this, then they can do it very cheaply also. They all say their products are the latest and greatest ,,but this item would really make it so.
I don't understand the dust collection hoopla. Sawdust everywhere? Awesome. I'll get around to cleaning it sometime in the next 8 weeks.. Angle grinder on steel? Now that makes a mess. Track steel dust around, and you stain things. edit: well, other than MDF or power sanders. That dust is awful.
i am shocked that the dust collection from an expensive make like makita should work so poorly i have a parkside ( lidl own brand) router and the dust port works well.

I don't have a 3D printer but that tape worked really well! Thank you for this! 🙏
Thanks! And thank you for showing the strength of the plastic you used!
Nice work. Really appreciate you using the black sheet to show the output.

Hey Cosmas. Thanks for the great content and the showing us the results of you experiments.I have the same router and i will try out your ideas.
Yes...Packing tape...my always working solution for dust extraction problem. Especially when i need to connect different size hoses and adapters / strangely shaped machine connectors to each other. ;)
I made one, plated it with gold and put it for sale on Rockwell's site.
Antique brass would have fetched a better price...
A brilliant solution. Thanks for sharing.
Is it possible to order one of those funnel peaces printed like the green. Or maybe a few? For a nice price?

hi guy. tank you for your job it's really efficient. did you thing is possible to add the reduction for aspiration in 3D print?

Are my headphones broken, or does the audio sound like a lot louder on the right ear?
its fine at the beginning but yeah, for the 3d printing part, voice is playing on both left and right channels and printer only on right, and after that, everything is only playing on right channel
You could even rig the plastic lid from a can of snack crisps like Pringles, if it's wide enough.
I'll go with the tape as you can see trough it and see the bit 😉😉👍👍👍👍
Will your 3-d printed items work with the simple trimmer base?
No, the trimmer base has a dedicated shroud.
I can’t believe Makita’s default solution is so useless! Many thanks for the hack! By the way, are you using one of Makita’s dust extractors with your router?
I use a nilfisk shop vac.
Price of this router machine please
Another great vid.
What filament brand did you use? thanks.
If you make one for the Dewalt compact router I’ll buy it
thank you.
is it the original nozle or did you upgrade ? can you print clear with it ?
Check the previous video.
@ ty for NOTHING.
Just a generic, cheap nozzle
everything is so affordable now...
my first extruder and nozle (prusa)
drove me mad many years ago .
now even the cheap generic chinese stuff deliver a high resolution right out of the box... wow.
The1Rausch I am sorry. I miss read your question.
Bristles from a paint brush could be a nice accessible solution.
Basically identical to the part festool supply with the of1010
Basically all router manufacturers offer a part like that. Ireally wonder why this is not available from Makita for this router.
Good video Friend! Thanks for sharing it with us!💖👌👍😎JP
Awesome
Good video👍👍👍
Was tat PETG or PLA?
0:50 "I printed it out of PLA"
PLA

You are beast ;)
You just copied Festool. But with plunge cuts you get 99% of the dust
