I’m looking to make the swap between spindle/router and Laser quicker. I have a PwnCNC dust boot v7 and Macguyvered a clamp around the Z-stepper to hold the hose vertical. It works great, but it’s a pain to remove to use the laser. Has anyone figured out a way to deal with this?
I’ve created and 3D printed a dovetail mount that attached to the front of the spindle mount using the existing threaded holes. The dovetail designed/printed laser dovetail mount.
the dovetail on front of the laser mount accepts a vacuum mount.
This mount also accepts my dust boot using the two side spring pins to lock.

Looking for something similar. Are you willing to post the files or do you have an etsy store?
Do you have a printer? And, the boot is designed for the router motor. I’m not sure if the diameter for the spindle is the same.
Sorry was out of town for a bit. I do have a Bambu X1C printer. I am just looking to use it for the laser quick disconnect/slide on and off, no need for it to also connect to the Dustboot but i think that is really cool(currently using my Nighthawk, that I highly recommend.)
No problem. How should I send file? Just to mentioned, the design if for the 14w laser.
Were you able to create a solution for this? I’m concerned that constantly removing the screws from the router mount will be an issue with the threads wearing out in aluminum.
I’d love to get a copy of your file to use as a starting point if at all possible.
Which files are you needing?
Good morning.
Thank you for the fast response!
I’d love to be able to create a mount that would allow me to quickly remove the 44w laser without having to remove the mounting plate every time as it crashes into the original dust boot.
I’m thinking that I could use the dovetail parts as a base to create a mount printed in Nylon that would be strong enough for the 44w.
Fusion 360 files would be awesome but even stl files would be very helpful.
