If you have the PwnCNC ATC, you should probably look at this. This boot will allow you to maximize your Z-travel/clearance and have maximum tool density. I’m very happy with how it’s come out.
It’s available for pre-order now at a small discount.

Congratulations on a well thought out design. Having worked on several iterations of an ATC compatible dust shoe myself, I really appreciate the design (and mental) challenges involved. I think you did a great job making it functional, while at the same time user friendly. I also like your clear explanation of the design limitations and requirements. Many current and future ATC owners will be very happy with your efforts and product.

Thanks! It was a challenging one with so many limitations. I closely follow your content as well. Very interesting.

Outstanding Produkt!! I am also grateful for all the videos you are making regarding the Onefinity improvements, including this one! What a benefit to the whole community!

would this work with a small linear actuator rather than the pneumatic piston?
Do you have a specific product in mind? I suspect we cannot shorten it much as we need a fair amount of stroke. Pneumatic solutions are also more fault tolerant, which part of the consideration.

Is it because you have one that you can repurpose, or do you see advantages of using it over its pneumatic counterpart?
I would be using it for a different kind of ATC and dont have a pneumatic source. I was just curious and not expecting you to redesign this awesome product. Just curious to see if I could adapt for my usage.

I’m curious what you have. I would be willing to look at your application and see if I can do something. Find me on the site or PM here, and I’m happy to consider it.
I actually have a bunch of parts and likely would make something custom for this. Since I have the older controller and the RC-ATC rather than PWNCNC, I have been working on pushing the BB controller to see what I can get it to do. I would be using load1 and an ATTiny to control a stepper motor most likely just like I did with the dust cover.
its all just a fun experiment to see what I can do… the dust boot is my next problem to solve and I loved this retracting solution.

Sounds like a unique challenge - but a good one.
Do you have the Z16 or Z20 80 mm Z axis assembly?
I’d be interested in a front position ATC boot with better suction as you alluded to in one of your videos.
I have the z20, currently using the v10 dustboot from PNWCNC with some customizations that I made to also hold my jtech laser inside
