Shapeoko 3 Vacuum Hose Holder

This secures a vacuum hose in place atop the Z-axis of a Shapeoko 3. The hose I use is 1.75" diameter - yours may be larger. This helps ensure the hose is not puting undue pressure or becomes pulled off the dustboot. The negative of this strategy is the hose must remain free to move or risk ruining a job or the hose if the hose gets caught while milling.

It is designed to slip tightly between plates on the Z and should not need additional anchoring. An internal bore through the plastic around the hose support should allow a ziptie to secure the hose in place if you desire.
