CNC Button Board
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.
Down the Fusion 360 Rabbit Hole – MPCNC Tornado Air Assist and Other Mods
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.

Alright, here it is. V3. Renaming this Project to “Tornado”, you can find it on thingiverse as “MPCNC Primo Tornado – Z Independent Dust Collection“
I’m feeling really good about the current status of this project!

Hey All,
I recently was looking for a decent dust collection system that was Z axis independent.
After a bit of digging, I determined I was going to design one up myself. This design allows you to set the height of the dust shoe and lock it in so it doesn’t move when running the CNC. The dust shoe is held in by 8, 8mmx3mm magnets and allows you to easily add / remove the shoe when setting up your work.
