Updated Feb 11, 2024: I added a version that has a small hole at the top of the hexagon to allow a push pin to hold the dust catcher in place.

After using a few dust collectors available on Printables.com, I've taken notes of their features and foibles and came up with one that combines the best features of them all.
NOTE: this model may look similar to another from @Bearlord but I've modeled it from scratch, reused the hexagon shape, and made it a more compact size.
These features include:
- A one piece design.
- A dust spray shield to prevent the dust from spraying upward when drilling at high speeds (and direct it into the collector instead).
- A taper for the center drill hole to let more of the dust naturally fall into the collector.
- A dust pour spout to make it more comfortable and user-friendly to empty the collector.
- A smaller efficiently sized design - a bigger one only takes up more space but doesn't help get the job done any better. And a smaller one would put your fingers too close to the drill bit, in case you slip up - this one is sized to help you avoid injury.
5. A cutout in the spray shield to provide visibility of the drill hole location as shown below.
6. Enough clearance of the collector to clear the drill chuck itself - especially useful when drilling with small drill bits and the chuck needs to get really close to the wall.
7. Don't need a vacuum - much easier to set up, use, and put away.
8. Compact - easy to store.
9. Prints without supports.
10. STEP file included to help with remixing.
Recommendations:
- Perfect model to use PLA.
- 0.2mm layers and 0.4mm nozzle.
- 2-3mm brim highly desirable.
