Vacuum Hose Support File

[HeyKoolAid (Mark)]

Hi - I know this has been discussed but does anyone have a file for vacuum hose support on the SP Pro (Z-Plus)?

Thanks,
Mark

See if there is a suitable file at:

Introducing the Carbide 3D Print Library

With a significant number of makers out there owning a Shapeoko, Nomad and a 3D printer, we wanted to set up a place where users could get spare parts if in a bind as well as to be able to share concepts we’ve been playing with which would be suited to 3D printing. We have about 50 models, from Active Project Tray to Z Clamps. We have more ideas and files in the works, but we thought this would be a good starting point. Generally speaking, these models should be printable on most 3D printers.…

Thanks. As I don’t have access to a 3D printer I was hoping I could find a CAD file here. I thought I saw some posted awhile back but can’t seem to locate them.

I made one using Alibre Atom. I have a polyjet printer at work which is a high end 3D printer however while the prints are solid they not the strongest so my model is probably a little thicker than what would be needed if you had access to a filament printer. It just sets on top of the Z stepper motor. Made for a 2.5 hose but it is a little tight.

Thanks. To clarify, I’m wondering if anyone has a file that can be used specifically on a CNC router?

[HeyKoolAid (Mark)]

Anything that can be machined on the CNC, as I do not have access to a 3D printer?

Perhaps design something which could be cut in pieces and would fit together?

Alternately, get the part printed at Shapeways?
