EDIT: A note to say I've been using this extensively instead of the included bases and I'm routing basically dust free with much better stability. Tape over the round dust port milwuakee provides to improve the dust extraction. 

For any edge routing extract dust from under the Router base where it is being generated. 

Better than any chip collector like Festool use, this places the vacuum exactly where the dust is and since you can adjust how far the nozzle slides on you can use it doing curves etc.



[Remix of Martin_AU Makita Router base to fit Milwuakee M18 Trim Router and improve stability and functional adaptation.]

Vacuum hose connector to fit Festool Cleantec hose (adapter design by PwnCNC on thingiverse). If you need to, use the original generic hose connector posted by Martin_AU as it still fits my Milwuakee base.

Thank you Martin and PwnCNC for developing these very useful designs! 


My Revisions:
Large stable Milwuakee M18 Trim Router Base with clip on Festool Cleantec attachment designed for use when edge trimming. 

The radius of the base is indexed using bit centre, which allows guided straight edge or curved routing where you can rotate a bit and not be off course. Straight edges also for situations where you want them.

Printing:

Print flat base with the insertion points facing up and supports.
Print vacuum hose standing upright on cleantec end and use supports. 

* I used a brim but I don't think it is necessary in retrospect because the supports generate enough area to stop the hose adapter moving. 

Please acknowledge any prints of this so I can earn more filament :). 
Any issues with the design - do contact me too!
