yesterday I assembled my EXTOL INDUSTRIAL 8793302 ( it is a copy of Makita RT0702CX2J) router or rather its spindle into a 3D printing part from Bar - clamp makita. Everything seems very tight and after pulling the spindle does not rotate.
The whole thing then pulled the router clamp.
The locking pin for changing the tool in the collet is inaccessible, but I can probably solve that with a bent wrench, there are key grooves.
My question is about attaching the fan and electronics, the part for the Dewalt does not fit there, does anyone already have a modification of this part for the Makita ribs?
Do you think it would be a problem to simply screw it into the ribs of the router?
Hiya, Just signed in from lurking on Youtube for a while now.
Makita of some sort, is kinda a ‘deal breaker’ for me.
I’m happy to print my own assembly out as long as it fits on a Bambu A1?
I’m international so De Walt isn’t really a preferred option.
Also prefer the battery powered version and prepare to live with the danger of not being able to pull the plug if the machine gains sentience and tries to take over the world
Just read through all the replies and it looks like there is the possibility of a Makita adapter already created?
Can someone give me a ‘shortcut’ url to the files while I try to get the hang of this forum?
I agree that the Makita adapter is important especially for international. I do have one designed, but I need to do some more testing before I can certify it as 100% good to go.
That being said if you were interested in trying it and giving me feedback I can quickly make any changes that you recommend.
Edit: Because 3D printed parts are quite slick I would recommend adding something with some grip like some strips of electrical tape to the inside to help the router hold
