About this 3D model

This is my attempt at a dust boot for my Makita router powered Bluecarve CNC machine. It's not perfect, but it has been working well for me so I thought I would share. Prints without supports and it uses 8x3 magnets from Bunnings. I used a hearth broom and hot glue for the brushes (you can also buy strips of proper brush). This was supposed to be a proof of concept but it has worked so well I have never felt the need to replace them. The hose port is 32mm OD for a standard shop vac hose. The 2 base pieces are glued together, I used CA glue and accelerant. You will need one m4 nut and bolt for the clamp. I would also recommend a short brush and long brush version, as the boot moves with the Z axis and this allows it to be more useful.
