I should not allow myself to be distracted like this, but I’ve had this door draft excluder which I bought for this exercise on the LR2, and we all know how well that went!
EDIT - yes I know the printed part is upside-down, sorry for any confusion - it was just to illustrate the concept.
The cool thing about this stuff is that the metal is very malleable and can be carefully bent at an angle to give a flared brush - my mad thought, based on the dust shoe at the head of this thread, was to create a “bottom” shoe that was concertinaed on the outside of the (modified) stock one. In TPU which at full compression would be maybe half the original depth and would simply drop down to double? I have no idea if it would work, the angled brush is an attempt to make stiffer bristles slightly more pliant,
This is as far as I’m going for now - I have a space to tidy up so I can get back into building a machine!
Shoot, it could be. I started that one October last year so if that is when you posted yours that is it.
I originally left the two little extra ears on the vac part because I was not sure how well the snap function would work, and magnets were the fall back. It did work and I never went back to remove it. Adding magnets to my BOM would increase the pricer per machine probably $3-4.
Nope, mine was from January. You win. I really like the approach you went there, having the bristles further out would allow you to make them longer without them being sucked into the router.
Never know I didn’t actually get it working until Feb when I posted it on Instagram so maybe yours pushed me over the edge to finish it. I do look at the forums everyday.
