Nomad3 Dust Boot

I would like to use a dust boot on the Nomad3 to help manage particulate while cutting metal.

The design from 3D Printed Nomad 3 Dust Boot w/ Brush seems to fit a different Nomad3 than I have. Winston’s design is for a rectangular feature (spindle housing?), whereas my Nomad3 has a cylindrical feature.

Is there current design guidance for a dust boot (vacuum hose holder) for the Nomad3?

Yeah, the spindle got changed a year or two ago?
Winston is on vacation, right now, but I’m not sure if he ever made one.

I took a stab at it a while ago, printed it and I think it had a few issues. Mainly the back lip needed to be removed:

Link to fusion file if someone wants to mess with it:

@Radiation thanks for the prompt response, and sharing the fusion file. I see only the bottom component in the online viewer (I may be using the online viewer incorrectly)

Are there shareable, dimensioned drawings of the spindle and adjacent mechanical features? This could help avoid a reverse engineering effort, and guess/check cycles.

Informational:

It appears the max clearance for the detail highlighted by @Radiation is: 6mm
