One Day at M&T 's house ....... Mark gave me a clear platic tube that I was going to see if I could use it as A Vacuum Extension like Norlas and Bob-n and ewo The only thing that was Different was it was Clear. I taped it on and It worked well and I could still see the bit. Then I was thinking I have a PP/// and A PhlatformerI can make a Plug for the PhlatFormer out of MDF. So I used one of the MDF Pieces out of the Phlat Store I made up a SU file and Cut it out. Then I PhlatFormed it. I was thinking how to keep it on "magnets,tape,ECT." I looked Down and saw a rubber band. Perfect :nervous: Here are some videos of Phlatforming it and the first test cut . The nice thing is you can change the size because it's modular or you can cut it to fit. Cheers E-T Attached files Vacume form 1-16 muti pass.cnc (856.4 KB)Â Vacume form ext 1-16 mdf.skp (7 MB)Â
That's a REALLY slick Idea. Have you though about putting a felt strip or something like that around the area where the plastic meets the gantry to make a seal for better vacuum? Or is it not really needed?
It is not needed. It will suck rite out of your hand if you have the vacuum on while putting the shoe on. The rubber band is only needed so it dosent fall off just sitting there with the vaccuum off and I like the ease of changing it out. Cheers E-T
I never intended to sell them. I would like to see if I could get them on the Phlat store. we will have to see about that. Cheers E-T
Glen, As you know, I'm interested in one of the shoes. I don't expect the phlatboys to stock them up, but I could use one soon as I've got a stack of chuckies to make and this would make it easier to clean up. Let me know if you (or M&T) can as I don't have a former nor the time to make one for myself ;-) Paypal? Chris
Just adding one to the count for a request to purchase a shoe as I'm phlatformerless at the moment. THANKS
Love the dust shoe, thanks E-T and Phlatboyz. This thing pulls about 90% of the dust out and I'm happy!
Et the man he came up with this one and man I have to agree it works perfect. ET has the 3D stuff down really good in SU now, I am not sure how he does it but I am glad he does Mark and Trish
