Makita Router - PLA Dust Boot

1

I was in drawing up a dust boot that would clamp to a Makita router.

I was going to 3D print the file. It then occured to me that maybe the router would get too hot for PLA.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

I would hate to put too much time into a design that would simply melt or distort when the router heats up.

Thanks!

The router doesn’t get very hot

@Ziggy I would guess he uses PETG.

I don’t think it would be wasted time, even if the PLA did melt. If it does, you could always reprint in PETG. I think you’re probably okay with PLA, though.

Thanks! I needed a good excuse to get myself more aquainted with Rhino anyway.
