Air Deflector for CNC router

[acourtjester]

My table is dual purpose Plasma and Wood Routing. I have a dust shoe for my router to vacuum up the dust made by the router.
I dust shoe is stationary just above the wood and the router bit move up and down through the dust shoe. I was having a problem with the cooling air flow from the router (downward) blowing some of the dust away and not into the dust shoe. I 3-D printed a air deflector that attaches to the router bottom and the cool air flow is not to the side, away from the shoe. the attached video shows how if operates.

Looks like it works great!
