Back again! I manufactured an updated 611 plate with “spring-loaded” dust shoe mounts. Hope you like it. Download SVG or DXF
I used strips of 2mm craft foam (doubled up) and cut some flaps for flexibility. The Lexan fins provide enough spring to load and maneuver the foam, but also enough grip to hold it firmly in place.
So far so good! I liked this better than the Thingiverse version since there aren’t any clips to add depth to the plate, plus it’s more secure.
I also set up Spindle Power Control using the relay in the linked post and added the M106/M107 commands to my post-processor.
And it’s not pretty yet, but I made a temporary tower for my X-axis cable since I accidentally chewed through the first one when it got pulled under the machine. OOPS!!!
Thanks for all of your support so far! I’ve been moved by all the kind responses and likes. Such a great forum.
