So this is my 3rd revision of a 'Dust Skirt' for the M3 that I designed in F360. Revision 2 seemed to work well when carving, but not so much for deep cuts. It had a 1.25" hose outlet for a small vac. This is going to be for a 2" hose for a larger vac. See what happens. Revision 2 works fine with small cuts (pay no attention to the duct tape, this is a prototype) Attachment DeletedVersion 3 building on printer, 2" hose outlet Attachment Deleted

This is too funny. It is dang nearly exactly like my first one I made! But I don't have a 3D printer and was getting tired of paying someone to print for me so I abandoned it.

great idea attaching it to the front of the router mount.

Talking of dust shoes does anybody know where you can get the bristle stuff from that doesn’t charge a fortune and deliver to Canada. Thanks

I have another idea for Derek...offer a design for a dust shoe and then sell the material as a side kit. A practical first project for every CNC beginner. I've been drawing up ideas for mounting options but I can see in that in my limited experience (and time for trial and error) it might be a while before I get something put together. Plus I'm having too much fun learning and doing v carving stuff at the moment.

I have finished tuning my dust shoe and am pretty happy with it for carving. It sucks everything up unless I am removing a lot of material. Below is a link to view a short video of it. you can see in the video that I put a slot in the mounting hole to adjust the shoe's height either before or during milling. drive.google.com/file/d/151AYDsV0ejoob4_AaPKDJjOOI7lKulvx/view?usp=sharing

Any chance of sharing that stl file? Would love to add one to mine. I use the spindle but I am sure very little mod would be needed to mount it to the front of my machine.

Try this link and let me know if you or anyone interested can access it. There are two parts, the main body and the bottom that gets glued on. I am thinking if the bottom is not glued on, the sucker can handle more-dense wood chips (like Asian cherry) when hogging out a lot of material. I am planning on running another main body and trying it without the bottom. drive.google.com/file/d/1TjbLuKBjco7zlZu3SXEpnzOU3LVdHfQi/view?usp=sharing

Thanks. I got them just fine. If you use ABS and then make ABS glue it's like being one piece, since the acetone melts the abs you are just fusing abs with abs. Much stronger than superglue and has a higher melting point as well.

I built it using PLA and glued with just a CA and adheres just fine. ABS stinks and I generally don't use it unless required. Hope you find the file helpful.

Being made for a door I'd bet the mounting is rigid and wouldn't curve well. The Amazon link that berogers posted is what you want, it's flexible and should curve nicely Hell, it's rolled up in the Amazon photo!

I'd be willing to pay for a dust shoe someone here designed. For me, it doesn't have to suck up every little bit, just keep the bits from being slung all over the place. If the debris field could be contained to just the immediate work area that would be a win!
