Dimensions are 540 x 1630 mm, or 21.26 inches by 64.17 inches.
I love this machine, when it’s running, I could watch it for hours.
I would like to make furniture with it (see photos) which used to take me a lot of time to make models first.

Hello, thanks for your message. I initially thought about making these cable chains with my 3D printer, but I couldn’t find a good example, so I ordered them from Aliexpress and am very satisfied with them. Best regards.
Hello, thank you for your message. Very well done! I still remember how much work it was to make all this by hand. I also really like the design on the backrest. Best regards.
Hello, thanks for your message. I designed these chairs using Sketchup. You can export your design as an STL file and then easily print it with a 3D printer (see photo). In Sketchup, you can also easily create an optimized cutting pattern (see photo) as a DXF file, which you can then send to your Lowrider 4 through your program. Best regards.

Interesting! I absolutely love SketchUp but migrated to Fusion. Never thought of 3D printing a design to evaluate. I made those chairs by hand many years ago but drew to full scale on a drafting board on mylar which I used as template. Yes I am THAT old. First job out of college was at International Harvester design their large tractors. All drawing boards. Funny as I was born in Chicago and only farms I went was my uncles once a year.

Really looks good. What and how did you model it? SketchUp?

Hello,
I imported this existing STL in Sketchup and redesigned it also in Sketchup.
In the meantime, I’ve printed it with my 3D printer and I’m very happy with the result. Tomorrow I’ll send some photos to the forum. Best regards,
That looks great, make sure to secure the top of the hose to the top of the core still or you will suffer from poor Z accuracy with it hanging out like that. I tuck them in as close as possible to minimize and effects the hose might have.
Hello Ryan,
thank you for your good advice.
I think adding another attachment to the core is a very good idea for even greater stability.
I will work something out and post it on the forum later.
Best regards.

Hello everyone,
The dust extraction system is finally finished. It’s for a 41 mm Karcher vacuum hose, adapted for a Makita router, with a secure attachment to the core and a connection to the ceiling……
Best regards to everyone.

That looks like a very nice setup.
Have you printed and installed it all?
How humid is it in your environment?
Do you ever get static electricity zaps when working with your dust collection?
