Thought I'd share my next activity.. I've really been having fun with a CNCRP PRO and a good 3D Printer.

I looked at the CNCRP dust hood and was looking at something a bit more interesting.

Also used this as a chance to learn more Fusion 360.

It's a work in progress.. I've learned how to assemble the whole Z-Axis into Fusion 360, and found a reasonably close model to my Chinese spindle (they are all slightly different
depending on your size/brand and power).

Objectives:

1. Look like it cost a thousand bucks
2. 3D Printable (so each part can't be bigger than 280x280x280mm in size on a Taz6) as much as possible. Possible to make Alu parts if needed.
3. Modular so it's easy to change parts/customise
4. I hate the idea of magnets, so thanks to 3D printing, some interlocking fingers and a single screw to lock it in place...
5. I use a Clearvue cyclone in my shop, and have 6" ducting everywhere.. objective is a minimum dust CNC machine

So here's the first instalment.. a mounting bracket that fits snugly around the CNCRP Tramming/Spindle plates, the spindle and bolts onto the 40 series extrusion rather than on the CNC spindle.
The full dust hood will expand out from this bracket..

Appreciate feedback please
