This is a dust shoe that fits on both the V2 and V3 version of my homemade 3d printed CNC machine. The 3d print files can be found on: github.com/leonvandenbeukel/CNC-Machine-V3
The machine still leaves a little bit of dust behind but it's way better than it was without the dust shoe extension. If you know how to improve it or have any other suggestions please leave a comment in the comment section below the video.
I'm using 8mm x 1mm neodymium magnets and some piece of plastic that is called an "antislipmat" in Dutch (if anyone knows hows it's called in English, please leave a comment): action.com/nl-nl/p/universele-anti-slipmat-50-x-150-cm
I use a regular (about 40mm diameter) dust hose.
You can check out the build video of the CNC machine V3 here: youtube.com/watch?v=PrJPGO_sYMM

If you want to build one yourself you can download all the necessary files on GitHub.

The 3D printer I use is an Anet A8. The parts are printed with PLA, mostly 20% infill and 0.2 or 0.4 setting. Use higher infill for parts that must be stronger, for example the stepper motor mounts.
Dimensions:
The tubes are 20mm x 20mm (0.78) square steel tubes. The length of the Y Axis tubes is 1000mm (40) and the length for the X Axis is approx. 820mm (32). As an alternative you could also use other dimensions than 20mm x 20mm (maybe even rounded tubes) as long as they are approximately that size. The Z axis tubes are 15mm x 15mm (0.59) aluminium square tubes, approx. 215mm long (8.5). You should measure this for yourself, check the video build. For the belts Im using GT2 6mm and pulleys.
The effective working area is 50 x 70 cm (20 x 27).
To power the NEMA 17 stepper motors Ive converted an old ATX PC power supply and used the 12V output. The type of stepper motors I use for the Y- and Z axis are: 17HS19-2004S1, the type for the X axis is: 42BYGHW811. For the wiring Ive used CAT5 network cable.
Software that I mostly use to generate and send GCode:
* bCNC (https://github.com/vlachoudis/bCNC)
* Universal Gcode Sender (https://github.com/winder/Universal-G-Code-Sender)
* Easel by Inventables (http://easel.inventables.com)
* Fusion 360 with CAM (https://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/students-teachers-educators)
