Most industrial dust collectors have a knock down device and capture, like a rod/prop that is routinely activated by operators or an air blast to "knock down" the filter bag. that way the fine dust particles are "knocked-off" with a lower stage to capture for this purpose. See a Donaldson Dust separator. Cut bottom of barrel and use a conical cover to funnel the fine particles into a lower receptacle on your wall unit. If you make a interface ring, can plumb in or gain remote access through there. otherwise, great stuff! if you want it completely stand alone, could make a low pressure vacuum ballast that operates a timed bellow to power your knock-down air blast and relay it so it activates in bursts (.25-.50 seconds) with some delay between each when you power it off.
@CapturingDust I settled on a three-way inlet dust tube and couldn't find it anywhere. 3D print because no one else can print that many parts for me, and if someone does, they charge a lot of money.
I continue to watch waiting for updates to the "I can not get better" but you do it again and again. It is inspiring. I do wonder, for all the inovations would it not be easier to pirnt out a part to attach the pipe to instead of cutting the hole for the box to fit in?
For sure. You're absolutely right about that! But at this stage of my "research" it is more important for me to be able to clearly see how the dust behaves in the tube and near the dust exit ports. Once that's optimized we can start spending time making the design easier to manufacture and assemble. But I will definitely take your tip into account!
@@CapturingDust HI and happy holidays. Thank you for answering my question. I was really curious about if my thought was positive and based on your decicated pursuit in a scietific way I did not know if that would make a impact of dust flowing to the intended boxes.
Thank you for all your hard work, I am waiting on my clear tubes to come in, then I will be building my own setup from your videos. I'm very excited to see it's efficacy.
The design is incredible, I would buy the plans if available. I am curious what are you doing for safety, do you plan to add any HEPA filters. I have asthma and air quality is extremely important to me. Interested if you will be adding some filters. Thanks
I rely on the filter capacity of the CamVac for now. You can use them in combination with a HEPA Silent box that Dennis made on his channel: ruclips.net/video/HH8MMbTDrIQ/видео.html Next year I am going to try to eliminate the CamVac and add my own motor's to the design and some good filters. Only that is a challenge because I am also very sensitive and allergic to dust.
Thanks for the update. I have made a 65% scaled down version for my garage, love it ! Can't wait to see the new inlet. Are they making the air spin the opposite direction on the second stage ?
Your welcome! I’m interested to see more about your scaled down version! The first stage air spins is indeed in opposite direction. Only I think the pressure loss will be slight less when the spin in the same direction. I need to build a new test setup to figure that one out 😊.
Yes you can. Only in this setup I used the asymmetrical outlets for the second dustport. So in this case I will need to change the cutout in the baseplate or upgrade to the symmetrical version of that outlet.
A quick question after looking at your awesome designs. Each acrylic tube needs to be 530mm long? Was looking in the github but can't figure out the size of the tube I need. Your USA linked tube on amazon is 914.40 mm long, so seeing if I am supposed to cut it in half and use for both, or order 2 tubes?
The acrylic tubes are 495mm long and the PVC 500mm. I did not had a good feeling by cutting the PVC tube in half because of 40mm that it would be shorter than the original Pilson Guitar design. Maybe it will work. I did not test that.
A very thorough approach. Thank you for this and the effort you put in. Any updates on including motors in the design? I think about buying a cam vac now and printing your design or waiting with the purchase. Thanks again and merry Christmas
The progress on the motors is slow going but I ordered some 200mm tube to force some progress on this topic and test out some ideas to check its feasibility. I will share the updates on my Patreon as soon as there is any progress 😅.
I noticed that new cyclone inlet makes air swirl at the opposite direction as the fins after 1st stage. Was that designed purposely to slow down airstream so more chips will fall into the 1st bin?
Great observation! The design constraints for the Y-piece print volume and the existing assembly direction of the impellers made this the easiest setup to build. So no real thought was given to that. I need to conduct further testing to determine if it impacts efficiency or resistance. However, I need to build a better test setup first to accurately measure pressure differences to make accurate statements about it!

Great project Ruud!
The results are very good. I like the way you approach your work. I really want to continue my project. I will try to get closer to your data.
Thx! What is your status now? You made a piece of art that can’t be replicated with a 3D printer!
@CapturingDust I settled on a three-way inlet dust tube and couldn't find it anywhere. 3D print because no one else can print that many parts for me, and if someone does, they charge a lot of money.
Great progress! The cyclone inlet is a very interesting addition

Pretty cool! The centerpiece in my fight against dust and noise is alcohol powered tools. It completely changed my relationship with the craft
Thank you for all your hard work, I am waiting on my clear tubes to come in, then I will be building my own setup from your videos. I'm very excited to see it's efficacy.
Great results really. With the third stage and some kind of auto cut off when full you'd have near perfect results.
Fantastic project! Happy Christmas and thank you for all of your work this year!
Happy Christmas! Great progress!!!
Fijne kerst en een stofvrij 2025! :)

After the main flex hose is the green Y connector. Is that supposed be collapsed or was it designed that way?
It is designed as a slotted inlet to make it a little more compact

The first stage air spins is indeed in opposite direction. Only I think the pressure loss will be slight less when the spin in the same direction. I need to build a new test setup to figure that one out 😊.
@CapturingDust could you just exchange the left tube with the right tube to have the direction match the intake ?
Yes you can. Only in this setup I used the asymmetrical outlets for the second dustport. So in this case I will need to change the cutout in the baseplate or upgrade to the symmetrical version of that outlet.

Zeker ken ik die! En ik heb een tijdje terug een aantal short video’s gemaakt met tests waaronder ook met de Festool stofzuiger.
A scavenge fan will up the efficiency but probably a step too far
