January 31-2025 Version 4.1 released!

Version 4.1 is released! minor mods and tweaks!

Custom Designed Cyclone Dust Separator for my Wet/Dry Vac and CNC machine! I designed and printed this as I wanted to try the whole Cyclone hype, but not willing to spend the money of a glorified Oil Funnel with some holes cut in it! (ok, it's more than that but the pricing does seem kinda steep for what they are) The Hype IS JUSTIFIED though! they work great!

This is NOT a snap together model and will take some gluing/fitting/aligning by you! I know it sounds crazy, but I HIGHLY recommend using a Hot Glue Gun for assembly! it holds amazingly well and air seals at the same time! I also recommend spraying the whole unit OUTSIDE with a paint/sealer what ever, 3D printing is often not air/water tight and just coating the outside will seal the smallest of pin holes!. I DON'T recommend spraying inside!! the vacuum force may just peel it off, as well as the materials spinning around will eventually just wear out!

Version 4.1 is a complete remake, but mostly just cleaning up the CAD files so it's the same design as version 4! There are minor tweaks throughout out the whole thing though so no parts are interchangeable! Version 4.1 changes - I've finally added alignment tabs for assembly! - The wall thickness is slightly thinner to save print time and filament! (still more than thick enough!! It was way over kill before.) - Mounting screw holes are moved out a tad on the plate to make it easier to get a screw driver/tool in.

• Use a LOT of side walls and top/bottom layers, but it doesn't need to be solid, just structurally sound!

• YES, THE SCREWS ARE OFF CENTER, this is to stiffen the mount with 3d printing infill patterns. In short, If centered the plate can flex and pull away. By sliding slightly to one side closer to a structure fin it stiffens the mount a lot.

• material shouldn't matter, (mine's from PLA rolls of left overs and samples)

adaptors to screw onto standard Wet-Dry vac hoses!! (1 1/2" I believe?) These are DESIGNED TO BE OF TPU!!! these will NOT fit if printed in hard plastic!!!!!!!
