Hi,
I have designed and printed some accessories for my Mafell LO 65-EC :
+ some copyrings, OD 40mm and 60mm, height 20mm and 40mm ;
+ and two chipcatchers like the Festool one for the OF1400, one 40mm height and 60mm height for the other.
This is high quality 3D print (0.1mm layer thickness, 90% infill) with high performance Ultimaker polycarbonate black filament, not PLA. Some sanding marks are visible due to support material removal.
40€ for a two chipcatchers set (2 sets in stock).
10€ for a copyring whatever the size (numerous in stock, custom size on demand). Note that these copyrings aren't as stiff as steel ones and thus, they aren't recommanded for some jobs, especially complementary routing.
Two M5x8 countersink screws come with each copyring or chipcatcher set.
Only PayPal payement, shipping costs from France payed by the buyer.

Hi,
I don't have an OF1400 but an OF2200 - the chip catcher swivels. Does this one?.. or is it fixed?
Cheers

Those are nice loric. I love chip catchers - if your router has great dust collection they take it to a legit 99% collection.
I picked up a little cordless and when a chip catcher is fitted it lets me route in finished environments no problem.
I like that yours fit from the bottom instead of thread on/together like others I've seen for other brands, I'm always setting up the router first and forgetting to attach the chip catcher and then need to lower the base to install it. (I ditched the two piece types, that clamp from both sides of the base, and made some snap-ins that are loose enough to swivel).

The real problem with the Lo 65-Ec is due to the router connection to the vacuum : it's an only-close design and so, most of the times, you have to hang it before the router bit and most of the times, you forget to hang it before the router bit ...  I think that my next 3DP design will concern this connector and I will try to make something like the OF1400 one, which is an open-close design :   |

I see the issue, should be an interesting and worthwhile puzzle to remedy. Does your preferred printing media come in colors?

Yes, I think that it will be quite challenging but with a great add-value if I get it ! Concerning printing media, most technical ones (PA6, PA6 GF or CF, polycarbonate, ...) come in black or white. The only coloured filament with good structural properties seems to be ABS and PETg. For example, you can see some red ABS printings for my MFS-like system :  |

... for my MFS-like system : Now that's what I call tool porn. Tell us more about the system and pucks please. -------------------------- Ordered some L-Boxx clips off eBay a while back because they were ABS..., they work well and I realize the constraints of 3D printing but man, these look like they used a hot glue gun to make them - lol. |

Ooops ...
There is two problem with 3DP for structural and toleranced design :
+ the first one is that you need closed printers with heated bed allowing constant temperature all along the printing process and these printers are quite expensive (for example I mainly use an Ultimater S5 @ 6k€) ;
+ the second problem is due to the fact that high quality printing with high infill ratio and small layer thickness are very, very long : to give you an idea, the anti-tilt device that you can see on the previous picture takes 8h each of printing !
I will open a dedicated thread in the 3DP section because we are no more in a "Classified" discussion.
