New 80mm dust boot?

[retracbill]

I seem to remember that Sienci was about to release a new dust shoe along with the new spindles. What happened? I cracked mine that shipped with the AltMill during initial surfacing. I’ve been putting off buying a third party dust shoe. Is Sienci still planning on a new design dust shoe?

@retracbill Welcome to the group, Bill.
You may want to contact Sienci directly to ask about this.

@retracbill I asked them about it and this was their response via email:

"They will be available in the store when we have some in stock. This will be late December to early January. "

I broke my dust boot over the holiday season during the Sienci closure. I didn’t want to wait for them to get back to work, so I found the 3D drawing of the dust boot through their Onshape Altmill file and 3D printed a new one. Works just like the original.
