3D Printed Hose Routing and Dust Boot Hose Adapters for Shapeoko

This is great, could use this to manage hose using PWNCNC dust boot rather than the old hanging string trick. Or am I the only one that does that still? Actually it is a bungee cord but who is counting.

Me too! Just started using the PwnCNC boot. Already had to print two nose pieces and cut new lexan windows because of DHS (dragging hose syndrome).

I see the model you are using was converted to MM but is not sized properly in the Prusa slicer.
When I load a model in inches format Prusa correctly resized it I think? Hard to tell with no Prusa haha.
Try this one in inches format:

Made lots of progress but I found a way to break it,-Twist with both hands, and it fractures the V bracket bolt housing. Will redesign with stronger bosses and possibly a add on anti-twist bracket with additional horizontal locating wheels for applications with twisting forces.
Latest design has upgraded hose cradle with 1 inch thick hose rings with fat attachment tabs for the 1/4 flat head socket cap screws. Can’t break them and I am very strong.
Designed a straight and swivel pulley system for the counterweights.
Currently working on a pull/pull method so the gantry is not dragging the hose, but is attached to a set of pulleys to keep it located where it should be.
Lots of editor photos, actual photos at the bottom… Rendered with Brass, Copper, Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum. When turned on the Vac shrinks up any slack in the hose.

Brilliant idea putting the screen behind the transparent back of the enclosure!

I really admire your attention to testing strength from all angles. All of us wanna be designers can learn from this.
Make. Break. Learn. Improve. Repeat.

Threaded bulkhead enclosure fittings for 2.75" hole with 90 degree pipe using the 3 piece deluxe hose adapters I previously designed.
Got the large threads all figured out, will make quick connects more secure and easy to design.

Very happy with my progress on my hose adapter collection. My new bulkhead setup works very well. I am planning to design some 45/90 degree deluxe hose adapters, for smoother less restricted turns…
