3D Printing Projects 201801 – Dust Collection for Legacy CNC

Having an effective dust collection system for a CNC router keeps the area clean and chips don’t get a change to foul up the cutting. Pipe and snout pieces were designed in SolidWorks and printed in ABS. The primary nozzle has a T-slot where a flexible brush can be inserted. The system keeps the work surface tremendously clean. Parts were printed on FlashForge Creator and Creator Pro.

 

3D Printing Projects 201701 – Biki the Rubiks Cube Solving robot

Biki is a tweaked design based on O.T. Vinta’s Rubiks Cube solving robot. All constructed of 3D printed ABS minus some fasteners and motors. A significant change from the original was to make the legs in 3 pieces with print orientations to maximize the strength of the various parts. The carrying handle was also not part of the original design. The embossed embellishments were created in SolidWorks. Simplify3D was used to drive various build files for the FlashForge Creator and Rostock Max.
