Looking great already…
Yes it really looks great. I would love to buy the final Version and use it for my cnc. Thanks
100% I’d purchase the model too.
Happy holidays. I am still working on it. Having a hard time with the fitment and joining the two halves of the volute housing together. With running a business and a lot of family issues I just haven’t been able to get to it, but I have vacation coming up, and I have been forcing myself to set time aside to polish it off.

Very cool. I also wonder if balancing the impeller is an issue.
What hose are you using? It looks like a standard small vacuum hose. I bought one of those hoses for clean cooling air intake for the 40w laser but I’m concerned how rigid the hose is.
It is a standard 1.25" hose. The rigidity hasn’t been a problem for me. The Snapmaker is sufficiently rigid, and the pump housing seems to be solid enough to handle the bending stresses.

The sound seems to be from the natural action of the cutwater, just like how a siren works. I am going to reshape it a bit and see if it does better. Right now I’m focused on the snap fits.
