Shared Kobalt Dust shoe mod I’ve been using for a bit… (no air knife…)
Features:
- This remixed Dust shoe is compatible with the original dust skirt and TPU Bristles.
- Can see the cut, mister and chips flying left towards the Vac hose. Vision on right side is bit restricted so we could reuse existing dust skirt and bristles.
- Can easily inspect/view the router bit while standing up, even without a Camera being used. No more bending over or neck strain while watching long jobs…
- GoPro Camera compatible, recommend macro lens able to focus at 8cm (e.g. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C9GTKLF9 ). Just rest Camera on the mount, no need to bolt or strap easy to remove.
- Includes wedge mount, mount holes and generous ledge enabling other Cameras to be mounted. I’ve not made any adapters, hopefully others will.
- Rounded finger friendly profile enables easy fast fumbling for the spindle lock.
- Includes mount to precise placement of air/coolant mister mount even if dust skirt is attached.
- Increased material for secure mount to router clamp.
- Kobalt router has LEDs, so I’ve tried to minimize thickness of material enabling maximum light to shine through when using transparent filament.
- When not watching/filming, for maximum suction, can cover view port hole using TPU/PETG GoPro lens cap like GoPro Hero 13 Mini Lens Cap, printed TPU 0.6mm nozzle. Fits 12, 11, 10, 9, etc... by AzaB2C | Download free STL model | Printables.com
