The dust collector has been a huge help in keeping the wood space more clean, but the worst culprit in the woodshop - the belt sander - is still spilling noxious levels of dust. Unfortunately only the disc sanding element has a pick up for dust collection.
Here is my fix:
It's a dust collection shroud to pick up dust from the tail end of the vacuum.
Currently printing, hopefully it fits and works.
Next step is getting hoses to not just the belt sander but also the band saw and jointer.
Jason Buie had a fantastic idea to use some magnetic quick couplings that he saw on YouTube. That way one single flex hose can be moved from one machine to the other.
There is a design on thingiverse but it uses some oddball magnet sizes, so I redid the design to fit a common 8mmx3mm magnet that can be bought at Princess Auto. I also embedded the magnets in the print rather than using glue.
These are for 4" hose and are pretty sweet just click on and twist to disengage.
Hopefully I can get this all put in over the weekend.
