MPCNC Tornado v3 – Z Axis Independent Dust Collection

December 1, 2020July 20, 2021 AONeil

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!

Redesigned Sliders:

  • Sliders now hold the M3 Square nut in place, it will no longer fall out the back of the slider.
  • Sliders now have a slot for adjustment if the heated inserts are not perfect.

M3 Thumbscrews:

  • I designed up some thumbscrews as seen in the photos (gray circles). A dab of superglue and press into place, may even need to tap with a hammer to get it to set it right.
  • There are two sizes, the smaller ones on the arms to help clear the trucks, larger ones for the sliders for easy removal.

Condensed Shoe V3:

  • I was running into issues when using endmills with a smaller stick out where the shoe collided with the inner DW660 mount. This redesign chops a good portion of the shoe off to clear the inner DW660 mount.
  • This noticeably does not pick up as much dust as the V2 shoe, however, it does a fair job.

Shoe Comparison

  • Shoe V1: Biggest, has the largest surface area for vacuuming.
  • Condensed Shoe V2: More compact than the Shoe V1, allows homing of X Y axis after end stop adjustment. (Endmills with >1″ stick out)
  • Condensed Shoe V3: Even more compact than Condensed Shoe V2. (Endmills with <1″ stick out)

I have been switching between V2 and V3 shoe depending on what endmill I am using.

The STEP file is included in Thingiverse for modification / addons as you see fit. As always, I just ask that you post it as a remix on Thingiverse.
