Ryan got posted the DeWalt 611 Tool Mount and Dust Shoe for the LowRider CNC v4!
And previously had gotten posted the Makita 701 Tool Mount and Dust Shoe for the LowRider CNC v4
I’m so impressed with these designs.

My Makita tool mount and dust shoe printed FLAWLESS last night!

Heck yeah!
Ryan spends an incredible amount of time working on these parts.
I printed a total of 9 partial and 5 full spools just in my very limited building during the beta phase. There were days where Ryan admitted printing multiple iterations of big pieces like cores or YZ plates.
Same with the dust shoes. They iterated a lot and Ryan did many, many, many iterations that the beta team never saw (and holy heck did we pester him for them).
Then he even patiently sorted out issues when goofballs like me tried to install the printed TPU fingers for the dust shoe skirt the wrong way round.
It’s great to see the first prints after release turning out well.

Thank You, Doug, Yes I am in the UK, understood, well explained, I will check the metal ones.

Excellent! I have a Kobalt still in the box–do you happen to recall if the Makita tool mount compatible?
It’s not. But there is a Kobalt mount, no worries.

There is a Kobalt mount to be available. During the pre-release work, before it was designed, I was able to get the Kobalt into the Makita mount. Tight fit, but did go in. But… there is a Kobalt mount to be available soon.
UPDATE: I was talking about the mounts, but you probably also mean the dust shoe. The dust shoe for Kobalt is tailored to fit, whereas the Makita dust shoe won’t work with the Kobalt. Sorry for confusing things. Carry on.

What infill did you use?
Thanks for clarifying. I will TRY to be patient 
. What’s a few days at this point? 
(in the meantime I’m having fun with the CaliLantern - what a cool tool + spreadsheet! I hadn’t dived into the Klipper UI before, but I’m impressed. Elegoo Neptune 4, el cheapo, but really dialed in now!

30% rectilinear, I did 5 outer walls as I just always do

Most of us for the beat were using cubic infill and it was working very well.
In the docs he has recommended infill amount for each part listed

I went off the V3 docs, I was pretty sure they said rectilinear, but I could be wrong

Yes that was the recommendation back then. I am not sure if he changed that recommendation or not. Just going off of what I know some/most of us used in the beta

Current Docs:
“3 walls rectilinear or cubic infill for most parts.”
However, when you get over 50% infill, if your printer is overextruding any, Rectilinear will be better, since it doesn’t cross itself in the same layer

The docs currently under construction for the LR4 do say:
3 walls rectilinear or cubic infill for most parts.
Like @Jonathjon said, most of us in the beta test crew used cubic.

I learned this while printing my LR3, when it sounded like it was about to rip my extruder off

Be really careful when slicing and printing the big parts that you don’t have too many outer walls. With .4 nozzle you;re probably OK, but Ryan his built in some slicer “Hints” that force bridging overhangs to be properly generated by the slicers.
Up around 5 walls you may wreck the hinting and cause a print failure for yourself.
Note for @vicious1 - I thought we were going to put something in the documentation to advise folks to stop and look over the slicer preview at those hint layers and double check the slicer got the slicing right BEFORE printing big parts.

That’s where tuning your printer properly before hand comes in big time. In all the many parts I printed for the beta never once did I have an issue with the cubic infill. I have before so I know exactly what you are talking about and don’t disagree with you
I used rectilinear.
