Automatic Dust Collector Made With 3D Printed Parts 

first vid ive seen, subbed. outstanding content, I'll be looking back at this comment when you have over 100K subs in no time. Interested in the files for the prints by thee way.

I really liked the printed parts! Haven't seen anything quite as innovative on the tube. The idea of switches anytime you open a gate gets a thumbs up. I've seen the remotes that can turn on a unit, your idea eliminates one less step, finding the remote and activating it. I use a cyclone unit, but I vent my exhaust either to the outside via a window or connect it into the 20" central ductwork that hangs from the ceiling. Most exhausts go through a hepa filter because that is where most of the fine particles end up. I would vent your system to the outside for your lungs sake. Quite a bit of dust escaped with the el cheapo 20 x 25 filters. A new set of lungs clock in at 400k.

love the auto-on gates, wish they were sold as u-assemble kits, so old fogeys like ne with no 3D printer could put them to use!

Actually, I was all 3. Thank you!! And I would LOVE to see a video on your disc sander!!

ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS! And and epic design. I'll definitely be printing these. WELL DONE!

LOL, this was a great video~! Very entertaining and lots of good info. I loved the slingshot switch shot and the ring bounce break test~! Had to run those back to watch again. I've been trying to figure out the number of things that I'd make to justify diving into a 3D printer for my shop and this video might have sealed the deal~! Looking forward to more of your stuff~!!

The 3 d printed adapter you made! I accept your challenge! At Lowes home improvement in plumbing section where corrugated French drain is located the couplers for that drain tube works perfectly just break off the tabs on the inside of the coupling. Now the exhaust of the blower on mine I used the ring where the dust distribution bag was. I replaced it with the Wynn environmental.03 micron filter that is where I employed the coupling. Unlike yours you connected to a PVC pipe. I did that until my filter arrived I had a rubber coupling that fit between the two pipes.🤣🛫

I love the commentary... so entertaining. The designs are excellent as well

Why is your channel isn't exploding? Well done everything... Beside your filtration subbed

One of the best videos I have seen from a smaller channel. Narration was perfect and great video quality and editing! Great designs for the dust hoses and printed parts. That relay idea is genius, as it also kinda reminds you to turn off(or shut the lid) the dust collection.

I like your first wiring diagram wayyy better. Great project.

I just stumbled upon you with this video, and I think you’re my new favorite! Great ideas, humor, and video!

Really enjoyed the video...excellent delivery and the content was great as well :) Already printing the connectors. Fantastic design!

Looks like we have a lot of the same tools - I'm printing your mag coupler, as I type - if it works as well as a suspect, I'll be sure to tip you on thingiverse. Need to see about that 14" bandsaw (mine is old enough to not have any ports for dust collection - but a magnet-mount cup underneath would be nice), the radial arm saw throws so much dust, and my current "Fig bar box with wood chunk reinforcement" kind of works but is janky as all get out. Keep up the good work - your videos are well-paced and informative. Thanks for taking the time and effort!

That "loft tool" joke was timed and delivered so perfectly. Well played good sir. Definitely looking forward to watching more of your antics in the wonderful world of shop isolation.

thanks for the video, entertaining and educational so you met your goal. will keep the whole setup in mind for when I get a shop again.

Amazing work. Glad I found this video. I’m gonna switch up my 2 1/4 hose system

Awesome video! Looking forward to adding some of the magnetic couplers to my shop!

thoroughly enjoyed this and learned things as well. After going through a cyclone, my Harbor Freight dust collector blows the exhaust through a port to the outside.

Way cool man! It's been on my to do list to do some 3D printed shop upgrades. I really want to make these magnetic couplers next.

Whenever I find something I've left myself, like a tab on duct tape for easy removal I say to myself "Thanks me! You're the best me ever!"

Really Nice idea and good humor!!!wath's next?!!!

This was brilliant! I’ve been playing with my own 3d design based on magnets but this is way better!

Just subscribed. Definitely entertained...you have a great sense of humor. Also intrigued since I'm in the process of designing the dust collection system for my 4 year old shop. I think I've had enough of dragging a hose from machine to machine.

Excellent video. The humour is a bonus to the actual work which is very good. Several responders have asked if you are going to make and sell the components for those of us who don’t have a 3D printer (and/or completely bemused by these kind of things). I can’t find anywhere from which to buy these

A very clever design and an entertaining video. Thank you 👍😎🇦🇺

Wonderful designs. Love that there is no inhibiting diameter transition or anything inside the mag connectors.

Awesome design and fun video. Well thought out.

I really love your magnetic connectors. As soon as my printer gets delivered I am making those. I also have a trash can mounted under my collector fan just like you do. It is currently pressed up to the seal with an inner tube and a couple of scraps of wood. Your lever idea is so much better.

Nice constructions/ CAD skills :)

Very nice work dude, entertaining and technically very clever.

Awesome video. Great prints too.

Hey Daveman! The inlet size of the Super DustDeputy cyclone is right at 5 1/16 inch. I just 3d printed a similar fitting for my cyclone to fit the 4in pvc. Great work on the relay and video!

Love your humour. Made me laugh out loud. Great content, engaging, funny and also informative. Subbed. Thanks!

Cool! I really liked it, it's a pity that during the construction of my system I did not do so. Great sense of humor:)

Great design and vid. Thanks for sharing!

Fantastic job Dave. Brilliant execution of the whole system. Sub'd. I will be in touch about the blast gates. Cheers

Fantastic! And that switch ... too funny. Happens to me all the time too. Great ideas. Might print some of the couplers or maybe remix.

Nice shot group.

Nice job. Entertaining video!

6:30 and this is why I'm /not/ a fan of zip tying things. You never know when you need to take it apart again and now you wasted some plastic. Velcro and twist wire (like you get with EVERY electronics cable ever) can be reused and work just as well. Aside that, a really nice design and I can relate to /not/ wanting to walk over to the collector to switch it each time 👍 11:12 definitely a keeper. Good thing you already found her 💝 18:00 when you re-discover your past sins..... but as bad as it was done, it was apparently working "well enough" for years, so it wasn't /that/ bad.

Really enjoyed the video, the humor that went with it too. Great idea on the connectors, will you be making the STL's available? I'd be interested.

Subbed and downloaded your files from Thingiverse. Thanks!!

Naturally he starts with a video about how good he sucks. Love this system Dave, nice work!

That's worth a sub. Watching for any other ideas I might be able to steal errr borrow...

Nice system cheers.

The actuation point of the microswitch will vary over time, and stop switching, unless pressed fully in, I (through bitter experience), now mount them with the face of the switch exposed so that the plunger can be pushed fully home.

I subscribed at the exact moment that you revealed the garbage can lever… fucking brilliant!

This is freakin amazing.

Great job, DaveMan.

I like your system better than mine. I bought a "20amp smart plug" and wired it to a dedicated breaker. Then I bought an "echo dot." I yell, "Alexa, turn on vacuum" or "Alexa turn off vacuum." (I had to add the smart plug and echo dot to my house network.)

Excelent ideas and execution

I bought the stl files for the magnetic hose connectors and the fit on 4" schedule 40 PVC is perfection. I was close to building my own for it, but came across this and the money was well spent. If anyone is looking for a perfect fit on standard 4" schedule 40 PVC this is it.

Good video!!! you are wonderful!

Very cool video. Reminds me of This old Tony, but for a woodworker. 🤘😬🤘

I got entertained. I got subscribed.

super video, i made 3d printed one.. works amazing!

Great content 👌

You are sliding over the microswitch plunger at right angle to the intended direction

Duct tape is actually made for exactly what you are using it for.

Best blast gates and connectors I've seen! Very interested in the CAD files, if you care to share? Have to convert to metric since I'm from Sweden :). Thanks!

These are fantastic. I want to buy some from you

I have seen 100+ systems and I like yours the best. You dont seem to be considering either patenting or manufacturing these. In any event...I think it would sell.

чтоб не тянуть кучу проводов, можно использовать беспроводные выключатели на пьезоэлементах.

I really like that design to attach to the clear hose. Mind sharing your files with me?

Great idea, also available using wood 🙂

Slicker than cat snot.

You’re really funny! I can’t believe how small your channel is compared to the quality of your content.

This video was amazing! Great content and great delivery. I have been scouring the internet for just these types of quick connections for dust collectors. I would love to get the files for them so I can print up a ton of these for own shop. Been looking for an email or a way to message but I can't find one here. Weird.. Would love to print my own.

DaveMan, any chance you post your STL files? I really dig your couplers and blast gates. I'm finishing my detached garage and dust collection is huge priority for me. Thanks!

Great work sir! Although my legal representative may be in touch over your 'sophisticated integration' plagiarism of my life-long method. :) lol

Had you uploaded the blast gate stls as well? All I saw under your user was the magnetic collar. Great video and design!

Regarding strength of 3D prints: I generally like PETG for functional parts. It's a bit more flexible, but a lot tougher. PLA is stiffer, but tends to snap, and under load it "creeps", getting slowly reshaped over time.

How I never found your channel before today just numbs my skull. AWESOME design for the dust collection, can you please post the files for your tools to thingiverse as well?? I'm particularly looking for the band saw connections, I also have a Jet 14 inch saw. As I said before, new viewer, and new subscriber. I'm looking forward to more shenanigans, and great projects.

Earned a subscription here! Your halrours 🤣

Have you ever thought about selling the printed blastgates as kits, no fasteners , just the 3 d printed parts of the blastgates. I would certainly be interested in 7 of them.

Good Video Thank's

Thank you, entertained and informed, but I want to try this in my workshop. What's the story with the 3d printed designs?

Great vid! Hilarious comments from time to time! Can you tell us which type of relais you are using for your system? It looked like a solid state relay, but you mentioned a coil?

Not much point in a dust collection system that blows fine dust around your shop. Strongly suggest upgrading those filters to MERV 11 or 12, as the fine dust going through the current filters is the most dangerous. Otherwise very cool system...no doubt that those fittings would sell extremely well over what's currently available.

Hey man great video. I have a question what motor are you using?

And this is why when you stop using the wrench,, it goes STRAIGHT back to the index, no questions asked.

Hey man, really nice video maybe I need to call you for my voice overs hahaha! also really good system maybe you need to think about the filtration of the particles and the system is going to be perfect.

Dude you have a serious leak in your vacuum side of the cyclone this is why you are getting all the dust out of the exhaust port! To find that leak use incense sticks that generate smoke I use 3 sticks at the time. I move the sticks around the suspect area and watch if the smoke is drawn in if so correct that problem. Every bit of your saw dust should be going in the waist bucket. 😀🛫

You got me at! “Shut up, we all do it.” Curious if the color differences are just to be able to visual pair the connectors, trying to add a splash of color to the workshop, or is there a functional reason?

I like the blast gates and generally flow but your collector is letting the worst and most dangerous dust through. It's the fine dust that gets lodged in your lungs that causes problems.

Dave I have an older Delta bandsaw like your Jet. Would you mind sharing the STL for the part under the cutting surface?

Awesome job man! Love the design! Can I pay you to modify your STL files for fitting on standard 4in/2.5in couplers? I'm in the process of setting up my shop and I think I'd rather go 3d printed than purchased connectors, I like your coupler design the best.

I just purchased your connectors file. Planning on getting the rest. do you have a option for 2.5" hoses? Thanks

Interesting but why not just use a remote? I have a contactor that turns my dust collector on and a remote that has the receiver connected to the coil which turns the dust collector on. The remotes have a magnet on the back and are very inexpensive on Amazon. I do prefer it over one that requires me to operate a gate to turn it on and off.

Great video is it possible to vent your system outside the shop ?

Hi Dave! Loved your video and work, subscribed already. I may be interested in purchasing the files. Are they Fusion360 parametric files by any chance? Thanks!

Can I have the stl for the planner? I have the same one. An this looks to be the best option by far! I just got a planner today

How is your furnace filter box holding up? I am considering something similar. Any reports or other videos after 2 years of use?

“And if you don’t believe me” 🤣 how can I get my hands on these .stl filed? Would love to play around with this

Are you selling the actual dust shoot pieces as a package? If so I am interested in purchasing these, not just the files. Thank you....

can you downsize the magnetic pieces for 2.5" hose? id definitely purchase...im setting up my small shop with 2.5" hose as i dont have any large machines requiring 4"

Dave, you sound like Mike Rowe.

Take my money....please.

The arrows on the filters should be pointing the other way, right?
