Big Suck Dust Boot (MAKER FILES)

MAKER FILES ONLY

 *Please note that the curved back BARELY fits in the build volume of the X1 Carbon, and only if positioned carefully.

This is the best dust boot we have ever used. It's heavily inspired by PwnCNC's v9 dust boot.

It has the following advantages/improvements:

• As a rear mount dust boot, it minimally obstructs your view of the tool working on your piece.
• It, and its dust hose, can't crash into your G3 Touch when homing.
• The Big Suck Plus is deep enough not to rub against the trough used by our largest drag chain brackets
• The Big Suck works with the stock drag chains and it's deep enough not to rub against the trough used by our 18x50 drag chain brackets
• The brush can be easily replaced via a swappable brush insert, allowing for quick changes between brush lengths
• The raised collar forces more suction to the workpiece when the spindle isn't plunged down far enough to seal the gap.
• The curved reduces friction, providing even more suction to the workpiece.
• It boasts a 4" dust collection port for maximum airflow.
• The wings recess slightly into the body, adding rigidity to their horizontal orientation

To assemble the Big Suck, you'll need:

Many of the above links are affiliate links. I make a small amount from sales through these links. I'd appreciate it very much if you'd use these links if you purchase these items. Of course, you're free to source materials anywhere you like.

These are often made to order and may take a few days to ship.

 Make sure to print the front and insert, which have thin walls around the brush, in a strong way so they hold the brush securely without breaking.
