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.
Thank you! glad you like it. Shortly after posting the video I changed the system up and vented the exhaust outside, works way better and I'm free to damage my health in more fun ways
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.
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.
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.
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.🤣🛫
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!
I'm very glad you enjoyed! Pacing and timing are something I put a lot of effort into, so it's encouraging that you mentioned it specifically. I feel like Janky is a synonym for "character" lol.
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~!!
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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!
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!
It absolutely is, I reworked the system a few months after filming to vent straight outside and I love not dealing with filters, the airflow is better too!
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!
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.
@@brunomelli4679 about 2hr 45min for each of the two parts. that's with .24mm, and doing the recommended: "6 perimeters, 6 top shells, 6 bottom shells, at least 30% cubic infill" (I did 30%). I put the compression ring in the same print as the south ring because I can get them to both fit. It only adds about 15 minutes.
@@atomictyler Wow, you have a fast printer. With the default Cura settings on my Creality CR10s Pro V2, the north and south rings would take 15 hours each. That's with a 0.4mm nozzle.
@@brunomelli4679 Mine are usually about 8 hours per large piece, I've got a .6mm nozzle on a Prusa MK3S, 6 perimeters, 6 top and bottom layers, 30% cubic infill
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.
You sir are absolutely correct, on both of your comments. I used to replace them about every 6 months. About a month ago I designed a new version that holds the switch in line with the intended direction. Once these new ones survive some testing in my shop, everyone who has bought my files will be given the revision for free
You're right about that, I certainly don't mind saying those filters were absolutely beer-league. I wound up flipping the system around and routing the exhaust out a window
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"
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?
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. 😀🛫
If I'm understanding your theory correctly, you're proposing that a leak or inefficiency at the top of the cyclone is causing the chips inside the cyclone to spin at an attenuated rate, resulting in poor dust/air separation? I think what's more likely is that I'm just getting too rowdy and pulling in way too much sawdust at once which overwhelms the system. I'll check for leaks anyway, never a bad thing to do PS: also I solved my exhaust problem a few months ago by just routing it outside lol. Paying more for heating and cooling is cheaper than lung cancer
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.)
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.
Thanks man, glad you liked it. More stuff is in the works. I'm selling files for the gates and the chute, my email is in the description if you want some details
@@daveman4863 WOW, Thanks for the fast reply!!!! Do you have a video showing how everything hooks up to your band saw, and how well it works?? I am referring to the green part that looks like it is attached to the saw, under the table.
@@daveman4863 Yes please, that sounds like a great idea. How and where can I get the STL files for that green connector under the band saw table?? I already have the file that you have on thingiverse, for the hose connections.
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.
Personal preference I would say. Carrying a remote (or even clipping it to my belt) is minimally invasive for some, but I'm looking to reduce as many barriers to usage as possible, plus I have to open a gate no matter what, so it might as well do some work for me
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.
Is it a flexible spiral-spine hose like the ones in the video? and is it a true 2.5" outer diameter? Several people have asked me to develop that size, perhaps I should boot up the CAD machine
I had my blower+cyclone set up exactly the same way you set up yours. The air is moving too fast for the cyclone to do its job. My solution was two fold: First, add a section of 4in tubing bent at 90 degrees to slow down the air (this means reorienting the blower 90 degrees). Second, let my filter get clogged up enough that it again slows down the air (which is obviously a lot more temporary).
A few months after posting this video I moved the unit, removed the filters, and ported the exhaust out of a window and since then it's worked much better. Higher velocity in my system is always welcome for better efficacy at the point of use, and my cyclone never seems to suffer
Several months after filming this, I reworked the system to vent waste air directly out the window in my shop. It does impact my heating/cooling bills, but I've really found it worthwhile
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.
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?
Thank you, glad you enjoyed. The main relay is McMaster-Carr part #7384K11 the switches in the gates are www.amazon.com/12PAack-Action-Button-Microwave-MXRS/dp/B083C113YL/ref=sr_1_5?crid=KJHQPA8Z6LOI&keywords=mxrs+limit+switch&qid=1636335360&sprefix=mxrs+limit+switch%2Caps%2C98&sr=8-5
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.
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.
ok, for the last year i have searched for automatic dust collection only came up with maybe three videos. now that im on my work computer , this video came up. What the heckkkkk. this is a good one. im only 3 minutes in and already love where this is going.... fast forward, i just went to the site and $50 for the stl file seems a bit steep.... sorry brotha but i may have to think about this one.
so i just finished watching the whole video and i have to say, aside from the blast gate price. the rest are reasonably priced for how thought out they are. well done. great video
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!
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.
@@daveman4863 Do you have a heat exchanger setup on the pipe shooting out the window? I can hear my dad complaining about heating the outside in winter. 😁
Hi, really like these. Are they made in Fusion ? and would you be interessted to sell me the fusion file :) Can draw it ut my self but if you can share/sell it will save time. Hope to hear from you, good video mr. TR

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.
Thank you! the secret is to talk about 3 inches away from your phone. And you are spot-on about filtration, I recently straight-piped the exhaust right outside

That's worth a sub. Watching for any other ideas I might be able to steal errr borrow...
I'd be honored friend
Slicker than cat snot.
How is your furnace filter box holding up? I am considering something similar. Any reports or other videos after 2 years of use?
Several months after filming this, I reworked the system to vent waste air directly out the window in my shop. It does impact my heating/cooling bills, but I've really found it worthwhile
Great idea, also available using wood 🙂
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.
Good video!!! you are wonderful!
You are wonderful too!
These are fantastic. I want to buy some from you
I got entertained. I got subscribed.
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?
Thank you, glad you enjoyed. The main relay is McMaster-Carr part #7384K11
the switches in the gates are www.amazon.com/12PAack-Action-Button-Microwave-MXRS/dp/B083C113YL/ref=sr_1_5?crid=KJHQPA8Z6LOI&keywords=mxrs+limit+switch&qid=1636335360&sprefix=mxrs+limit+switch%2Caps%2C98&sr=8-5
@@daveman4863 Thanks! Indeed it is a solid state relay, as I thought.
This is freakin amazing.
Thank 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.
Dave I have an older Delta bandsaw like your Jet. Would you mind sharing the STL for the part under the cutting surface?
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.
super video, i made 3d printed one.. works amazing!
ok, for the last year i have searched for automatic dust collection only came up with maybe three videos. now that im on my work computer , this video came up. What the heckkkkk. this is a good one. im only 3 minutes in and already love where this is going.... fast forward, i just went to the site and $50 for the stl file seems a bit steep.... sorry brotha but i may have to think about this one.
so i just finished watching the whole video and i have to say, aside from the blast gate price. the rest are reasonably priced for how thought out they are. well done. great video
Had you uploaded the blast gate stls as well? All I saw under your user was the magnetic collar. Great video and design!

Just showed her your comment, she laughed
You’re really funny! I can’t believe how small your channel is compared to the quality of your content.
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....
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!
Great content 👌
чтоб не тянуть кучу проводов, можно использовать беспроводные выключатели на пьезоэлементах.
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.
Thank you! and I'll do you one better, I recently reworked the system and now it's shooting the waste right out the window!
@@daveman4863 Do you have a heat exchanger setup on the pipe shooting out the window? I can hear my dad complaining about heating the outside in winter. 😁
Haha, my solution to that is save on building a heat exchanger and pay for more heat
@@daveman4863 Fair enough, but heat exchanger would be a cool project. 😛
Earned a subscription here! Your halrours 🤣
Hey man great video. I have a question what motor are you using?
Hi, really like these. Are they made in Fusion ? and would you be interessted to sell me the fusion file :) Can draw it ut my self but if you can share/sell it will save time.
Hope to hear from you, good video mr.
TR
Thank you! they are made in Solidworks. The .stl files are available for sale, please check the description for my contact info and thank you again for your kind words
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.
Thank you! the secret is to talk about 3 inches away from your phone. And you are spot-on about filtration, I recently straight-piped the exhaust right outside
@@daveman4863 but for me the problem is not the audio quality but the script hahaha
@@daveman4863 ignore my comment about you dying of cancer and begging you to upgrade the filters. ! hahahaha
I am looking for a 3d printer. what brand/ model is your?
"Prusa MK3S+" It's expensive but it works like a hot damn
