Dust boot crashes into left Y axis

When using the provided flattening program with gsender the dust boot while set in the recommended position crashes into the left rail. Cracked into pieces.
Ran the program properly minus boot. Was a mess!
Any idea if I have set up the table wrong?
Thanks, Stan…

Hey Stan, that sucks to hear. It doesn’t seem to be an issue with the machine firmware, probably just the surfacing program was too large with the use of a dust boot. I’d recommend surfacing without a dust boot just because you’d want to flatten your entire wasteboard, but that means you will need to babysit it by vacuuming up manually.

You could also reduce the dimensions of the surfacing program on gSender, and/or choose a starting point and zero your machine at that corner that would allow your dust shoe to fit. May even use the gSender outline tool to see how big the program would turn out. Using gSender - gSender Docs

Thanks Kelly. That’s exactly what I ended up doing. Without the use of the dustboot just chased it around with the vacuum hose magnifying my dislike for mdf!
Thanks for the reply.
I’ll start my new 0 points a bit farther to the right.

That’s unfortunate, If you have a 3D printer or know someone who does you can print the plastic and reuse the non plastic parts. You can get the file on this page.

Not everyone has access to a 3D printer but I think it’s nice that Sienci provides the file for those that do. There are also 3D print services but I have never used one, and don’t know costs, as I have a 3D printer.

Glue might also work depending on how badly it’s damaged.

Thanks Micheal. I did end up using glue and with the quick set worked perfectly.
But I will check out local markets for 3d printer services so I can have that option in the future. Of course I know that it will never break again! :roll_eyes:
