Description
This is a replacement suction add-on that uses the mounting hardware for the original one, but it's essentially just a few screws that have some of the threads removed to fit into the motor holding bracket of the Heiz High-Z S-720/T (and probably other models in that series like the S-1000)
As this is not soft or flexible, it's mostly useful for cutting plate material, where the Z-movement is minimal.
It prints relatively nice without support, even though there are some overhangs on the inside.
Having the output so close to the motor makes it easy to zip tie the hose to the motor further up and that way keep it away from the work surface. If the hose is also mounted to a wall or similar around the middle of the CNC on the back and about 50cm up, it should be possible to move everywhere on the work surface without the suction hose mangling, as long as the hose is long enough to reach the outer corners, without pulling too much.
