Today I'm designing and 3D-printing flexible dust covers for all of the compressed air quick couplers in my shop. I have compressed air outlets located at all of my machines, and they are often in harm's way and collect dust, chips, coolant, and other contaminants. We'll sketch up a simple design in Fusion 360, print it in Ninjatek Cheetah flexible TPU material, and iterate the design until it does what we need.
