Nice! I'd love to see the tool change and tool length measure operation.
And maybe clear out more of the chips while it's cutting.

My cure for that collection of cotton candy was easy since I also am
into 3d printers, I made a gismo with a vacuum connector on one side, 2
diameters, one a tight slip fit on the spindle barrel on my go704, and a
smaller one that was about a 7/8" bore and 1/2" shorter than the tool.
I also made an output vacuum muffler out of 10 to 12" lengths of
2,3,4 inches plastic pvc and a cyclone separator dumping into 5 gallon
plastic bucket My shop-vac bucket vac died after 15 years, so I bought
one of wallmarts 50 dollar 4 gallon models, but it had so much more suck
it flattened the paint bucket so it now runs when the mill turns it on,
on around 60 volts from a big red powerstat. Keeps the tools work area
nice and clean. And stretches tool life by doing away with the recutting.
Cheers, Gene Heskett, CET.
