This project is a python script meant to be running on a Raspberry Pi to trigger webhooks to my home assistant setup if a button was pressed. I currently have the following plugs on a smartswitch: cnc killswitch, vacuum, lights, fan. The center toggle switch is the laser kill switch.
As of recent, I’ve been upgrading parts on my MPCNC to better serve my functions. Soon I’ll have a laser attachment on my CNC to do engraving and shallow cuts which I am super excited about but first I need to make some changes to existing models.
Last month I posted about my MPCNC Tornado, this month I would like to present a new addon for that project. An air assist mount.

Hey All,
I recently was looking for a decent dust collection system that was Z axis independent.

The dust shoe is held in by 8, 8mmx3mm magnets and allows you to easily add / remove the shoe when setting up your work.
