Video - 3D Printed Drill Press Dust Collection

[tri4sale]

The "Tree" support in later Cura versions has been good and very easy to remove.

thanks, never heard of that so I googled and going to try that for the next print (tomorrow since storms rolling thru) - it did cut about an hour off the estimated print time and about 30 grams of filament usage.

Jeeze Marty, is there such a thing as a bad improvement?

Obviously you don't work in IT.

I worked on it for about 15 minutes with a rasp, file and 80-grit sandpaper and it's almost there.

I still had all of the adapters from a Rigid extension hose kit and was able to grind one down enough to fit inside.

My print finished in the middle of the night. So far it looks great! Now I have to remove all the supports and then I can try it out. The ID of the tube opening is just about 2-1/4", so hopefully it's just right!

My ID measured just at 2 1/4" too, but my hose is 2 1/4" so I need to get a coupler to join them. My next print I'm going to try to increase the size of the print so the tube opening is wide enough for my house to slip in.

I did touch base with the designer and he said that it was meant to fit inside of a 2½" hose, not around a 2¼" adapter. He has a smaller one (2.2") listed in Etsy shop, but I don't remember seeing it when I placed my order.

I tried mine today with a big Forstner bit. It worked great. I also nicked it with the bit.

What size bit did you use?

What size bit did you use?

2"

Just clumsy.

For my second print I enlarged the print by 2% which enabled me to slip my dust collector hose into the end of it, tight fit but it held good. And yes that drill press is the one I won in the NC Woodworker raffle couple years ago, so buying raffle tickets is worth it!!!!
