Delta X5 Planer Dust Chute, Split for 256mm Beds (Standard and Mirrored)

Remix of @DJDelorie_179363 and their Delta X5 Planer Dust Chute. Delta no longer makes the stock hood (part 5140070-48). The original was designed for the 22-780X, and the 22-785 and 22-785X use the same hood. It mounts with the stock screws and bolts.

Pick your version

Standard puts the hose on the same side as the original model. Mirrored puts it on the other side. The comparison picture shows both. Print both halves from the same version. The pins and the fit test work with either one.

Print the fit test first

Printers, filament and temperature vary, so start with pin-fit-test-3-holes.stl to verify your fit. It takes about 10 minutes. The holes are marked with dots on top:

• 1 dot: 6.0 mm

• 2 dots: 6.1 mm

• 3 dots: 6.2 mm (the best fit on my X1C with PETG and my print/temp settings)

Print it as it loads, hole side down, with supports off. Try a pin in each hole and pick the one it goes into with firm hand pressure and no wobble. Leave a little room for glue. Then print the two halves for your version whose file names have the same number of dots.

Print settings

• PETG, 0.2 mm layers

• 4 wall loops, which makes the 3.5 mm walls solid

• 15 to 20% gyroid infill (it only ends up in the thick section at the joint)

• Tree supports (auto), build plate only. The hose half needs some support inside, under the end wall next to the hose. Check the preview, and use a support blocker if any trees grow up into the dowel holes.

• Pins print lying on their small flat so the layer lines run lengthwise, which makes them much stronger than pins printed standing up.

Assembly

Use CA glue or a two-part epoxy. Glue the pins into one half and spread it on both cut faces. Push the other half on along the angle of the pins rather than straight on, then clamp it until the glue cures.

Customizing

The settings are at the top of the OpenSCAD file. MIRROR = true gives the mirrored version and false gives the standard one. HOLE_CLEAR sets the hole fit. CUT_Y moves the split, but the dowel positions are only checked for the default split. Render one part at a time with PART set to “narrow”, “hose”, “pins” or “test”.
