Description

I love my palm sander, it's great, but creates a lot of dust.

I wanted to make something that would allow for some quick sanding without the massive kick up of dust it creates.

 

So I modelled this in fusion. 

It's dimensionally similar to any regular palm sander but with an excess port for dust collection.

The vacuum attachment point is 31mm wide and works perfectly with my Titan wet dry vac.

 

It's only v1 as I'm not amazing with fusion and there's a lot that could have been better.

 

In the future I will likely attach a 5" Velcro back instead of the clip method I currently have for 2 reasons.

  1. Because there's nothing between the suction and the wall it creates a perfect seal, meaning it won't easily glide across the surface when sanding and takes some effort, it still works great and the additional pressure helps get a faster smoother finish. But it no longer really acts as a “palm” sander, more of a 2 handed sanding block.
  2. Switching sandpaper takes too long, you need to unscrew, add the new one rescrew. A Velcro pad would eliminate that 

But still, not bad for a V1 and still achieves what I want it to without any dust

 

If you do print this I would recommend buying the Velcro pad first, it will attach to the print as is and eliminate both of the issues I highlighted.

 

Ultimately I wanted to create something I could use that was fully 3D printed for those like me that have no patience for waiting on parts to be delivered and want to use it as soon as it's finished printing.

 

If you do end up making this I'd love feedback (I know it's janky) but I need to get better anyway.

The right screw is lefty tighty because of the mirror function in fusion (Again I apologise, I'm for sure still learning) 

That's it, enjoy. For V2 I'd like to learn parametric modelling so people could adjust the vacuum attachment diameter.
