More Magnetic dust port connectors 3D printed

Since i finally got the Sherwood Helical head thicky back I did an adapter for it's dust shroud, this is effectively a copy of the info from that thread

Attachment 491363 Attachment 491364
They are the renders for the 3D printer 50mm to 100mm adapter that fits the shroud on the back of the Sherwood thicknesser and honestly probably ever other 50mm machine exit
What i have done though is to allow surrounding air to be drawn in to keep the CFM air flow up.
Just looking at the renders I think to get a more laminar airflow happening i need to airfoil the outer of the inner wall, the outer section is fully radiused inline with modeling for airflow entering a pipe. It's not a full parabolic curve, but from modeling will still be efficient.

The STL file can be found -> Dropbox - Thicky 2inch.stl - Simplify your life if anyone would like it.

And that's the blue section in the magnetic machine connector. Considering the lessons learnt with this one for air flow I may need to tweak the table saw exit on the design above

I don't have room in my shop to have a permanent location for my shaper. I need to move it out of the way sometimes. That means no permanent ducting and any fittings that I want to leave connected to the tool should stay within it's overall profile to avoid damage.

I couldn't come up with a solution using standard PVC fittings so I turned to the 3D printer. Magnetic couplings were a necessity here to keep the whole thing compact.

The fitting combines the 100 mm outlet from the cabinet with a 100 mm hose from the fence into a 150 mm hose to the DC. Removing the two hoses allows me to store the shaper with the fitting somewhat protected by the cast Iron top.

A print like this doesn't have any fine detail so I was able to use a 0.8 mm nozzle, keeping the print time under nine hours.

Nice job. Good to see you continuing to locate the flex inside the fitting rather than the other way around

Nice work Dave,

Now I have my large printer back up and running I'm looking to do some 6" designs and at least test print them for a later date or even if locals may be interested.

Cheers
Phil

Just following up on this thread, does anyone know Aussiephil? His profile says he hasn't been online since February.
Thanks,
Crocy.
