I like the Makita, use it mostly with the Elaire collect (could not find a 1/8" in Europe) but to be honest I can't compare as I never had anything else on the SO3....

FYI, updated my dust shoe design to accommodate the new Z plate. You can still find it here for download; https://www.youmagine.com/designs/shapeoko3-dust-shoe-with-quick-release-v2 sucker1.jpg sucker2.jpg and I used a few wedges to tighten the Z belt again, also printed these; https://www.youmagine...

FYI, just uploaded some 3d printable step blocks.

hmm... actually I consider these prints very rough, just prints with a big 0.6 nozzle and 0.2 layer... normal quality on an Ultimaker is much better....

I loose a little on Y, but that doesn't bother me at all. The setup is easy to remove should I ever need the full Y size.
The setup can probably be made a tiny bit more compact on the left, but I'm not going to be bothered by it now, maybe later... who knows ...

love the combination of materials !

I'm running a similar setup, 2.3 board & Makita. Since I got the 2.3 board I have not had any disconnects (but I did no do any supper long jobs). I did not do any complicated stuff, no special grounding etc.. The only thing I can think of being different are: - I twisted all motor cables - I run fro...

I could also only find stiff brushes, so I made a dust shoe that's not moving up and down with the router, I think it works pretty nice. Also added a quick release for easy height adjustment and tool change; https://www.youmagine.com/designs/shapeoko3-dust-shoe-with-quick-release http://www.shapeoko...
