Ultimate Bee CNC Independent Z Dust Boot 80mm

Description - 80mm Spindle Version

I wanted a Z Independent Dust Boot for my Ultimate Bee CNC but there was not a lot of options when I went looking. I adapted a few options meant for other machines but none of them were what I wanted, so I designed my own. 

Please note the following

• This is designed for the 80mm Bulkman Square Mount
• I recommend printing the main bracket and then the Test Dust boot file to check for fitment of your specific machine before you go further.  I will try to release updated files as requested for the different offsets that people might have. 
• This should work on the Queen Bee CNC as well as it looks to have a similar X axis Mounting plate. 
  
  My criteria for my new dust boot:
  • Low or no loss of X axis travel
  • Easy to adjust to the work piece height
  • Useable with any of my bits
  • Printable on my 3D Printer

So this is what I came up with for my design, I am still refining it and making improvements but thought I would share with the community to get some feedback and ideas from others. 

What you will need to make this work: 

• 2 x 6mm Aluminum Rod
  • https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0C495BFV2?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_4
• 4 x M5x30mm Button Head screws
  • 25mm screws might work but you may need washers
  • To secure the main bracket to the X axis carriage 
• 2 x M3 Heatset inserts
  • Install into the main bracket to secure the rod in place to set the dust boot height
• 2 x M3x30mm bolts
  • To secure the rod in place to set the dust boot height
• 2 x M3x8mm bolts
  • Retaining screws to secure the 6mm rod to the dust boot
• Length of 2.5" or 63.5mm Clear dust tube
  • Carry dust from the Dust boot up to the dust hose above your machine
• 24 x 6x4 mm Magnets  **I might have used to many :)

I printed all parts using PTEG with 0.4mm nozzle @ 0.2 mm layer height

• 5 walls
• 5 top and bottom layers
• 35% 3D Honeycomb Infill
• Supports shouldn't really be needed on any part other than the main bracket arms
  • I used auto Generated Tree Support just be careful around the screw holes for the rod retention screw, its hard to get the supports out of there.
