It looks great - functional as well. Did you 3D print the ring, add an LED strip inside it, print a wire mount, add an on/off toggle switch? Where did you run the wires to power the light strip?
Awesome work Yvon!
Looks amazing and really nice to see what your working on bright & clear. I find myself always chasing the shadows, this fixes that for good. Did you make a light ring or is it individual LED’s in some sort of holder?
Curious how you approached the build.

I got the leds from amazon https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B078Y6MFNB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and i 3D printed a ring to fit the Makita , the led comes with double side tape so it is easy to fit to the printed ring I use a small toggle switch and ran the wires with the router that I tape with black electric tape.

Where did the wires terminate for powering the LEDs?
I am using an old 12 volts power supply I add laying around the shop, and plug it in the Iot power bar
Thank you, and thank you for sharing your innovation.

Thanks Yvon - looks like a great upgrade. In looking at your setup, it looks like you have a custom dust boot? I’m curious how you remove it since the hose is on the back. I’ve actually noticed a tiny bit of deflection on my z-axis with the hose hanging from the front if the brushes are not pushed all the way to the material.

i should have used a suck it
Which version dust boot did you print? Also, do you have to buy their brackets, or did you make your own version?
Thank you,

Thank you. May I ask, did you buy the Suckit boot from OF to get you started, then decided to purchase this one? Am asking because I am curious as to your thoughts on how their performance/use compares.
I can not comment on the Suckit boot from OF , I did not ordered with my cnc I ad to do something during the wait time, and I like the idea of the vacuum hose going to the back of the machine and ad to much free time 
I can relate to all you have said.
Very nice Yvon well done
That is amazingly fantastic! I see that on my future. Problem is no 3D printer as of yet! That ring setup is such a good idea. Well done!
You don’t need to print the ring to receive the led you cant just put a couple of drop of hot glue
here is the link for the ligths

Awesome Work.
I love things that make my machines look better and are also practical. Yvon, are you also sharing the 3d print files for the ring?
Not for now because I have to refind the design , it needs some tweaking.
