Dust Boot: Move with Z or stationary

[staffordj (Stafford)]

@stevempotter has a pretty simple one:

New clear dust shoe design!

I have designed a dust collection system for my Portable Primo MPCNC. I use a clear cap from a can of spray acrylic as the “shoe” so that I can see the cutter while it is cutting. This design (inspired by I Simply Built It) is set to just above the workpiece and stays there; it does not move up and down with the spindle. I mounted it as close to the XY gantry pipes as possible to avoid a lever arm that would torque the Z core. I printed it with clear PETG. That comes out translucent so I will be…

I am working on a slightly more complicated one, but probably will only work on a primo.
