CNC 4" Dust Hose Control! (Revision 2)

After putting my Dust Hose carriages in use for an extended period, I started to notice that their holding power degraded over time. I attribute that to the heat in the shop, but I think that is expected for many shops out there, so I went back to Fusion360 and came up with a new latch system that has multiple latch designs (one for wires and one without). I also determined that the wire clips I designs suffered a similar fate. There was no real reason to compete with velcro (hook and loop) that you can get cheaply from Amazon (https://amzn.to/3hEpFMG).
