I'm really glad I found your channel! When I do bone carving it can be somewhat hazardous (bone dust is super dangerous) and I think I really need to set something like this up. You've given me much to consider.
@@RichmondWoodworks Hello again, you mentioned 3D printing, I am looking to get started and want to learn. What equipment did you end up getting? Software? places to learn? Thanks - Steve
I used to have a TierTime Up300, but that was very frustrating to use. Recently I bought the BambuLabs X1 Carbon. Super simple to setup, use and just get started. It prints faster, and less fuss. I would recommend getting one of them. UA-cam has a lot of reviews, @shopnation did some videos on it too.
Thank you! I am using the Bambu Lab X1 Carbon, and could not recommend it enough. I had a Tiertime Up300 before and experienced nothing but frustration with it almost every print. This one, is pretty much set and forget.
According to results from a video I found awhile ago, you cannot ground static electricity ⚡️ without coating the entire wall you want to ground. John McGrath (grounding and earthing a pvc dust extraction system) has a fantastic video on YT to explain it. I tried posting the video but YT removes the link
Hi mate, thank you for the comment. I did a quick search and I think this is what you were referring to: ua-cam.com/video/yA22kTtV4XI/v-deo.htmlsi=XMdi6S7LbOuNLlzg He makes some very good points, and thank you for sharing.
@@RichmondWoodworks yes, that is the video. Hopefully it can help others save some money on things that might be considered a gimmick; or at least better understand their investment before deciding on metal vs pvc and know what to expect in the decision.
Absolutely, but even with that video I am earthing my dust collection…I just don’t want to be that test case. The difference I see, is that I am driving screws into the pvc pipe to earth it outside the pipe as pvc isn’t conductive.
@@RichmondWoodworks maybe the best way is to earth it at the machine’s outlet, middle and inlet of the dust collection with a DIY dangling metal cable design or thin chain so it’s flexible. This would kill the static from charging before and after as the particle movement passes by. I’d also be concerned if you’re into cutting soft metal like copper, aluminum or brass and a hot piece gets sucked into the dust igniting it. Just ideas that might help work out a better method to kill static before it accumulates.
Legend for providing the step file of the adapter!
I know the feeling just wanting to tweak something 😅
If you improve the design, please comment!

Thank you! I have never done bone carving, but something maybe for the list in the future!
@@RichmondWoodworks Full breathing gear is a must, but it's rewarding, and rather different from working with wood because there's no grain.
It looks like a space helmet, but it would probably be the best one around: www.carbatec.com.au/airshield-pro-respirator
As always, enjoy your watching your videos. Looking forward to seeing how you wire your ducting to reduce static. - Steve
Thank you Steve, very much appreciate the kind words! Will have a video up for that very soon.

Great video…. Coming along nicely.
What kind of 3d printer are you using?

Lots of work, but I'm sure you'll enjoy the results.
Absolutely, really enjoying the process. I probably won't know what to do with myself once its all done...
