Build cyclone dust separator

[emka]

Build a cyclone dust separator (Zyklonabscheider) for wood dust created during milling. This will avoid to use too many vacuum cleaner bags.

There is a 3D printable design at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1736769 which might fit our printers, but will probably print 2x 12-20 hours and use lots of filament. There might be other options.

Good idea, but I think I've seen simpler solutions using buckets or so - I'll see if I can find it again! We could also try and fit the whole thing to a Systainer-like base that will fit on top of the Festool shop vac (two green plastic sliders would hold it iirc).

The one I originally had in mind actually used the cyclone from a broken vacuum cleaner, but here are two different approaches:

• Matthias Wandel's cyclone, made from buckets and wood
• cheap & quick version

I have seen bucket based solutions implode because the walls were to weak for the vacuum (or stabilizing inserts were not placed correctly).
Einhell has some (German) instructions as well, I would prefer that if we are able to get such a pipe.

Those look very nice!

Unfortunately, as far as I remember (and still think after a quick online search), Bauhaus only has much narrower pipes - I'll ask a friend with construction contacts but can't promise anything.

In Stock :
Short Piece of Narrow Pipe Outer Diameter 315 x 10,0 mm Length min 235 mm

I had no success finding a source of wide pipes so far, but someone also building a dust separator donated a massive piece (bit shorter than in the instructions though). It's sitting by the workbench, unfortunately I don't know any other details

Hello Lukas ,
Yesterday I brought this Pipe to the Makerspace , an tell someone it is for the cyclone dust separator.

I become this pipe from a Construction Company out of the Plastic Garbage.
(And YES I ask before 8-)
(2-3 Years ago , Originally I plan to use this pipe as a mould for wood-Concrete Bird-House)
And I have another one too , with the same Dimension.

I stay in Heidelberg only for a half hour and have a short look to the foam-cutter.
Because i´m time-pressed

Awesome, thank you! You probably talked to Patrick, I was really busy :-P On Mar 23, 2017 5:58 PM, "topeban" <notifications@github.com> wrote: Hello Lukas , Yesterday I brought this Pipe to the Makerspace , an tell someone it is for the cyclone dust separator.

Whenever we do tackle this build, the "Thien Baffle" and its many variations may also be good to look at!
