The Suckit SM Dust Boot comes standard with a 2.5 diameter port. Some users may want to use other diameter hoses, so we’ve released a few 3D files for those with 3d printers to print their own adapters.
Suckit SM (Spindle Mount) Dust Boot Adapter STLs. (for 3d printing)
Awesome, thanks for the files… I have mine all printed out (4" version with bracket) and ready for my elite upgrade, spindle and ATC. Will probably redo as the seam is on the front.
You know, I didn’t in any way expect to have to make an adapter to connect a 2.5" hose to what was supposed to be a 2.5" intake on the Suckit SM that I just received. Apparently I was incorrect. The actual size where the 2.5" hose is supposed to mount is 2.67".
To say that I’m pissed after paying for it in US dollars & Paying for shipping in US dollars and Paying Taxes in US dollars, is an understatement. I’m probably going to be out $200 Cad when I get my CC bill all for something that is no use to me without having to make an adapter.
It’s not the hoses fault that it only fits on a 2.5" opening, the other end fits perfectly on the 2.5" - 4" adapter that I made for the dust collector end.
Can you provide 3d files for the brush holder? The black part with magnets that holds the brush. Or are you going to offer this for sale at some point?
For those about to use or using this SM dust boot, don’t make my mistake and put the brush on with the flange (yellow) oriented 90 degrees toward the z carriage. When your spindle rises, it will kick the shoe off and chaos ensues. I probably won’t make this mistake again, but it would be nice if the magnets were oriented in a way that this can’t be put on the wrong way.
That being said, I’ve had the brush almost slide off the boot a couple times during a cut, and I’m nearly certain that my spindle will wreck this brush at some point in the future.
Are you looking for the 3D files to print one? If that’s the case and you get no response reach out to me and I can make one in Fusion in a couple minutes.
Not sure if its allowed for me to model something they made or not?
I have been having an issue with the middle piece above the brush moving and hitting when coming down on the bottom of the z slider. It has happened three times so far. Luckily it just gave a z axis error instead of breaking. I would like to see a small lip on the inside of the boot so that the middle piece is not allowed to move.
I am still waiting on delivery of mine. I have been holding off because it’s included in my order but would you recommend just buying a third party boot that works with the ATC? I don’t have time to modify a dust boot to work properly
Calvin let me know if you can print one for me. and what would the cost be? I want to be ready in case my hose won’t stretch to fit the obviously over sized dust boot, supposedly made to fit the standard 2.5 inside diameter hose. The dust boot which I am hearing is actually 2.67 inches OD. resulting in another delay. this is not what i need about now. just one more example of a simple engineering mistake.
Robert, Where I live the local libraries have 3d printers that you can have items printed on. If that’s the same in your location, here is the step file for the adapter that I modeled yesterday evening. 3.67 to 2.5 adapter.step (20.8 KB)
don you are not going to believe this but this is the response i got trying to get a quote from zometry. …Reason provided directly on the quote: This part contains features that do not classify as a standard bent or cut tube.
Recommendation: Review the file and ensure that it is a tube, or select a different manufacturing process. Upload part files individually if this is a weldment or assembly. I swear I cannot win. can someone recommend a 3d printer not too expensive?
Robert, I think that the best value 3d printer on the market right now would be the Elegoo Centuri Carbon. You can get it from Elegoo for I believe $300US, or $449 if you’re in Canada like I am.
