    Great dust shoe, thank you for sharing Robert! I really like your idea on a part that fits inside the brush and forced the bristles out on an angle. Nice work :thumbsup:

    Hey Robert, is there any chance you could save your sketchup files in either version SU 17 or SU 8?

    Cheers.

    I saw you included your gcode files, what size and type cutter would you recommend using if I plan on using your existing gcode to cut out the parts?

    Hello,
    It's been a while since I have looked at this one. Each of the gcode files will have the description of the bit used in the header - in case you weren't aware of this.
    For all the cutting I used a 3.175mm bit (1/8"). The gcode files only contain the pattern and cutting for the plastic parts used to make the dust shoe. I think I explained in the build part that the internal piece was made from baltic birch plywood and used the same shape as the bottom plastic piece, but then further trimmer with a 45 degree bevel.
    There are some holes that get drilled, and for that I only used a 1mm bit to pre-drill the holes and then later re-drilled them based upon the size of the magnets I used. You'll see the reference to 1mm in one the files in the header.
    Hope this helps.
