After many many hours of design and testing I have completed the Snapmaker 2.0 self impelled floating dust shoe. It is a vacuum attachment for the CNC head that DOES NOT NEED AN EXTERNAL VACUUM because it uses the motor in the CNC head to spin an impeller just above the work surface. Here’s the ea…

I use Cura, and within the downloads is the Cura Project with my exact settings, and the .zip file is the cura profile I use with the dual extruder. With those two items you have everything you need to know about how I sliced it.

Very cool Gil. I will be trying it out very soon. I wonder how it will fare on aluminum plate. We shall see… John

GIL, Do you have plans to inform people of one you design for the 200 watt?

Yes, I will post it on the forum and Facebook, likely also Cults3D.

Thanks Gil, I appreciate that. I just got my 200 watt last week.

Great news. Having the 50w version and can’t wait for the adaptation to the 200w module,

I’ve finally finished the model and am printing the prototype. Shouldn’t take long now. [Screenshot 2024-10-11 224137] [Screenshot 2024-10-12 182848]

I came here to ask if I should roll up the sleeves or offer some help for the upgrade :slight_smile: But it is almost finished! Can’t wait. [shaq-shimmy]

[PXL_20241021_012437109] . [PXL_20241021_001937991] Getting there. Works better than the original, but connection of the two halves of the shell is problematic and I need to redesign. I’m also having an issue with harmonic resonance, and noise. So I’ve had to go back and do some redesign. Still try…

I imagine printed mass spinning at those speeds would inherit some disbalance issues, and the impeller would have to be balanced after printing as part of post-processing.
