Multicam Dust Shoe is coming together

I forgot to comment on the dust shoe. Michael Bayern @michaelb has done a fantastic job designing and 3D printing parts for our new dust shoe design. Two of the 3 major parts are complete and installed. When the third part is ready, we will have multiple brush lengths, but at current, still working with the single 2" brush which captures most of the dust except when using long bits.

Things to know: we are still figuring out how much magnetic force is needed to hold the removable part (light blue/grey color) to the permanently attached part (black). It is more than currently in place. So, a couple of zip ties are joined together and wrapped around the shoe to hold for the time being. To change a bit, cut the zip tie, remove the brush section, and when ready to reinstall, join a couple of zips (top drawer of cabinet) and put back like you found it.

Oh, the beauty of “work in progress”!
