A large (20mm ID) segmented flex tube for sucking away chips. ~~This will eventually have a connection to a 1 7/8 shop vac hose and T-Slot mount to allow mounting to a small CNC mill/router.~~ its on hold for now, I have added a base though.

Make Sure you print with the snap fingers down. There is a larger surface area meant to stick to the platform.

I went through several iterations to optimize the snap features and reliability. I still have some trouble with delamination along the layer lines. This occurs more often when disconnecting two segments. Adding some CA glue on the inside face of the snap fingers helps. Printing at a setting smaller than 0.3 would probably help but I have been too impatient so far :)

Added a Base per request. Base has a 1.25" square mounting pattern
