Bob from the YouTube channel I like to Make stuff has this great walkthrough for how to automate his dust collection system. Sennah91 created a replica to get me started – and I've tweaked a few things so that you can purchase these exact items to rebuild. I'm working on a more advanced walkthrough to rebuild a completely wireless dust collection system.
Parts needed:
- Print the 3 parts in PETG (Arm, Gate, Adapter) – I printed 0.2 with 50% infill
- Servo: I use the S1500M - https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DmAaSPj
- Servo Horns - without these the servo will strip the printed parts
- PowerTec 4" Gate
- M5 Bolts/Nuts. A set like this will have you fully covered.
Take a look at the pictures for assembly. You'll have to replace two screws on the bracket (unless using the Onieda gates).
I'm working on some updates that enclose the servo, make room for a button, and have space for the parts needed to do wireless communication between gates.
Update 12/23/23 – I realized that the straight arm was causing tension in open/closing. Swapped for an arched shape and added a ‘plastic’ washer.
Update 11/29/23 – The wireless mesh style is available here: Mesh Automated Blast Gate for Dust Collection by curioustech | Download free STL model | Printables.com
Update 11/5/23 - Added support for the Onieda style gates which I'd recommend as they work better in tight spaces.
