Festool 3d Print

[Juvencio Parise]

Ifyou have the measurements I will design you a custom attachment for free. If you have a 3D printer it will be easy to print out. I have festool stuff and have printed a bunch of this kinda stuff for myself.

This is a hose adapter to couple one size of hose/opening to another. The STL file posted here specifically adapts from my Scotchguard (Powered by Bissell) Wet/Dry garage vacuum to the dust exhaust port on my Craftsman 10" bandsaw. Use the...

My Kapex is a couple of years old so the inside of the dust port is smooth - Festool has been migrating the 27mm (smallest) dust hose to have bayonet shape. However what you should know is that the 36mm hose fits on the outside of the dust port and in fact Festool recommends that you use the larger hose for better airflow. The other thing is that while the tool end of the hose is metric, the end that plugs into the vacuum is the same size as a US shop vac, so if you buy a Festool compatible hose you can use that hose with your current vac. I bought the cheaper Bosch hose (cheaper being a relative term) ( ) and took off one of the ends and cut the hose to a more convenient length when I set up my Kapex bench.

A 300 DPI file will give the best results. Make sure that you consider the dimensions of the document when printing, as the image may scale when converted using online printing tools. I used FedEx Office, and selected: Document Printing -> Custom Project -> Keep file size -> 32lb paper -> Glossy lamination with no border. You may be able to find a slightly better option, which would put print and laminate on par with PVC cards.

I was optimistic about the Festool Label Covers, but they really impact legibility. Similarly, there is a Tanos Labeling Set that tries to make this easy, but the reviews mention problems with the document sizing. As a last resort, I also tried Avery Laminating Sheets over a printed photo. This worked, but self laminating resulted in too many bumps and took more time.

Rechargeable tools are great until they aren't; If you've got a dead power tool battery then no work is getting done. For years we've been keeping our spare batteries in Systainers, but that can be a hassle when the Systainer with the batteries ends up at the bottom of a stack. Over time we've found a better way to stay productive is to create a battery charging and storage station in your shop, truck or trailer. Keeping batteries easily accessible where you need them is a great way to keep track of charged batteries, keep your shop organized and prevent interruptions in your work.

These Battery Wall Mount by 3DPYT (3D Print Your Tools) attach almost anywhere with two wood screws and will hold all your Festool 18v batteries where you need them. They work in any orientation and are designed so that the batteries "click" into place and are released by using the pushbuttons on the battery, so there's no worry about a battery falling off the holder especially if you use them in a mobile situation like a work van or trailer.

The Battery Wall Mount for Festool batteries is a new tool by 3DPYT (3D Print Your Tools). It is made on a FDM 3D printer and can be ordered from our website. We realize not every tool needs to be precision CNC machined from aluminum or steel; sometimes the best tool is the one that gets the job done the fastest. So in the near future we'll be launching a website of downloadable tools that you can print at home on your own 3D printer. These Depth Spacers will be the first of many tools we'll be offering on that site. Ok so maybe 3d printing isn't actually "free" or instantaneous, but it's fast and cheap and about as close as you can get, and we think it's an important tool to have in your shop.

In the meantime, Battery Wall Mounts are in stock and shipping this week! This is a new product and lead times might increase as we sell through our initial inventory. Updates to current shipping status will be posted here.

I went through this. Ended up getting the "cheaper" grey festool hose and used it with a dust deputy. It's a frustrating endeavor otherwise--tape, adapter, adapter and tape. It works but only so well.

Festool recently announced that the headquarters for Festool USA and Festool Canada, located in Lebanon, Ind., will expand by 80,000 square feet.

Festool projects that 65 new jobs will be created by the facility expansion.

One issue with my power tools collection is the amount of cords that is in the way and thus making cable management difficult. A quick research online and i found a few solutions, The most appealing one was by another youtuber named Marius Hornberger.

He used a set of PowerCon True1 connectors made by neutrik to make and inline quick connection but I wondered if a true festool style plug it connection could be made by having a low profile connector directly on the tool. Neutrik does manufacture such connector and this is my attempt.

First, A little info on the connectors, The low profile connector is the Neutrik NAC3MPX and the Cable connector is the Neutrik NAC3FX-W... the set have an locking mechanism so the cable will not come loose during use and it can be unplugged under load.

Both connectors are clearly labeled and the data sheet provides the wiring diagram. There are three prongs. The first is L for the Live or black wire, N for the neutral or white wire and the ground symbol for the ground or green wire.

I started with my angle grinder. Its harbor freight Premium brand and there is only one screw on the back to remove. Once the back cover is removed i trimmed the cabe to a few inches and using a rotary tool with a sanding wheel I proceeded to make the whole wider. Once that was sufficient i did a dry fit of the connecttor and back housing to determine what section of plastic i needed to trim on the tool. I wanted to make sure any plastic removed was not part of the grinders structural integrity.

Using an pair of cutter i took of the bulk of the plastic and finished the rest with the rotary tool. Next I removed the jacket from the wires and started prepping them for soldering. This is not a soldering tutorial but when soldering, flux will make the job a lot easier. In this case i wish i had an helping hand but i had to make due. Maybe that will be a future project.

Once finished Its time to put the tool back together. Its not perfect due to the grinder shape and a portion of yellow is still showing but i did not want to remove too much plastic and ruin the grinder.

Next was the Makita trim router. Installing the connector is the same as before, Using my rotary tool the sand the plastic down and constantly checking for fit, it was bit different in this case since there is two halves but its fairly strait forward. wiring was a bit easier on this one since the cable path is bit shorter. Once everything is done its time to put things back together. Its now on camera but i added some hot glue to the connector.

last but not least is the dewalt table saw. It was by far the easiest to wire. I decided to place the hole for the connector in a new location for an cleaner install, cut the excess cable and solder the connector and added some hot glue to secure it in place.

Its time to work on the cable. As i mentioned before the connectors are labeled and even though most of the tools ive modified does not have grounding prongs its a good idea to use a 3 prong for future tools that may require it.

This is the connector layed out. The cord will have to go true part A B and C before it can be connected to part D. I trimmed roughly one quarter inch from the wires. An T-8 torx screw driver is needed to attached the wires. Once finished everything can be twist together.

In the end the result was not perfect but it will do for now. Thank you for making it this far. I hope it was helpful and worthy of you vote in the fix it contest. Any question you may have leave them bellow. Thank you.

As an alternative, if your planer or surface sander handles thin material well, you could plane the stock to the desired tenon thickness, measuring with a precise caliper, then rip to width on a table saw.

Hi. You could improve your shop made dominoes by first run the stock through a round over router bit before you cut them down to size, I know it's a little more work but the fit I find is much better.EnjoyIan M Chadwick

I live in Australia I got my domino machine when it first came out and I haven't looked back. But after about 12 months I thought what could I do with all my off cut strips so I started making my own tenons out of all kinds of different timber and probably have between 15 and 20,000 8 x 50 and would like to sell some
