Dust port
Look at the dust port on your Shaper Origin. If it sticks out like a tube, measure the outside. On the Origin, if it is a hole, measure the inside. Use calipers.

Full port and fit detail for this tool
The Shaper Origin is a handheld CNC router. It guides your cuts with a camera and on-screen designs, so you can rout joints, inlays, and shapes with hand-tool freedom. All that routing makes chips and fine dust right where the tool needs a clear view.
The dust port sits at the rear. We print our adapter to the size you measure at that port and step it to any standard shop vac or dust extractor hose.

Shaper Origin Dust Port: What Connects To It
The Origin has a dust port at the rear. We print the PETG adapter to the size you measure there.
Most shop vac hoses are 1-7/8 in. or 2-1/2 in., far too big to grip it on their own. Taping a hose to a port it does not match leaks dust and falls off mid cut.
The adapter plugs into the tool port on one end and takes your vac hose on the other end.
How to Connect a Shop Vac to the Shaper Origin
Clear any dust out of the rear port first. A clean port gives the best grip.
Push the tool end of the PETG adapter into the port. We print it to the size you measure, so it holds with a firm press. Then press your shop vac or dust extractor hose onto the other end.
Run the vac the whole time you rout. Steady suction keeps chips out of the cut and dust off the workpiece.
Why Dust Collection Matters More on the Origin
The Origin reads marks on your workpiece to know exactly where it is. Dust piling up on the surface can cover the marks the camera needs to see.
Chips left in the cut path also pack into pockets and grooves, which hides your depth and roughs up the edge.
A good hookup at the port pulls dust at the source. The tool sees its marks, you see your line, and your lungs skip more of the fine stuff.
Shaper Origin Dust Collection FAQ
What fits the dust port on the Shaper Origin?+
Our PETG adapter does. It plugs into the rear port and takes your shop vac hose on the other end.
Does the Shaper Origin work with a regular shop vac?+
Yes, with an adapter. Most shop vac hoses are 1-7/8 inch or 2-1/2 inch, so measure the port on your tool and the hose end on your vac. We print the GulpDust PETG adapter to your port measurement on one end and to your vac hose on the other.
Do I have to buy Shaper's own dust hose?+
No. Shaper sells a woven dust hose sized for the tool. If you would rather run the shop vac you already own, our adapter steps the port to your hose. You skip the extra hose and use what is on hand.
Do I need clamps to attach the adapter?+
Usually not. We print the adapter to the size you measure, so you press it into the port and it holds. The vac hose end works the same way. Add a wrap of tape at any joint that sees heavy use.
Do you sell the design file?+
No. We sell the finished part. Each one is printed to order in PETG and ships from the US.
