I made this cyclone separator. It consists of five parts, four of which were 3D printed. The last, the top piece, was made out of acrylic on my CNC router so I could see inside. In my test it worked relatively well. It filters out most particles, even when tested with fine wood dust. It was designed with parameters so after opening the Fusion 360 file you can easily change the various dimensions.

If you are interested in the build or testing I made a video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmlUXdjdLJ4

Cyclone Separator

I have made this Cyclone Separator. I consists of five parts of which four where 3d Printed. The last one, the top piece, was made out of acrylic on my cnc router to allow me to look inside. In my test it did work relatively well. It filtered out most particles, even when testing with fine wooden dust.

If you are interested in the build or the testing I made a video about that: comming soon

This is a simple bowl. It was designed with parameters to make it easy to customize it to your needs. You can find the Fusion and Step files attached. I machined mine on my 3D printed CNC mill, but you can easily 3D print it.

This machine was designed with the goal of being fully 3d printed. The price for this machine (Excluding control electronics) is about 600$. The frame is made up of 2020 and 2080 extrusions. The motion is handled by MGN15H linear rails, ball screws and Nema 23 Stepper motors (Nema 17 for Z-Axis). Due to this there is no play and the entire machine is very rigid and accurate.

It has a usable build volume of 360x360x75mm

Update (22.03.2022): I've added the parts used for the electronics
Warning: mount_01 leaves mains voltage exposed. Don't use it if you don't think of fixing it.

Update (27.07.2022): After a bit of machining I had to make a change to the machine. I updated the Z_Carrig_Main_Part model to use a better mounting solution for the 500w spindle. I also updated the Spacer_Normal_14 model (no name change). I'm not making it part of the main file because I haven't and won't test it. However, it should be a much better solution since it eliminates the need to drill precise holes in the baseplate. I would recomend using it instead of Spacer_Normal_14 and Spacer_corner_1.

Check out my latest video where I not only show these changes but also how I machined something from multiple sides. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsKsJzvEbPQ

3D Printed CNC Router

This is a simple cable manager. You can screw it into a 2040 profile with an M4 screw and a T-nut and thus manage your cables.

This is a simple cable manager. You can screw it into the material of your choice and then use a cable tie to secure your cables.
