In spite of everything, now I am using a vacuum cleaner with a baffled cyclone and I am very pleased with the result of the dust separation.

I share my drawings in PDF format and a step-by-step video of making:

Maybe I did something wrong with the baffle element? What could be my mistake? What can I improve?

Den!
