I bought a 3d printer (Sidewinder X1) based on it's capacity to print up a 100mm cyclone for chip separation. Making that, and some dust collection fittings for my Kity 636 planer thicknesser (both .stl files available through thingiverse) have easily repaid the c.£150 I paid for the printer.
There are also loads of options for magnetic dust collection fittings, which make an amazing difference when you have one extractor and many machines.
