Vacuum Cleaner Connector
Description
Driven By A Need To Connect My Diy Dust Extractor To Woodworking Equipment I Created This Project To Allow Me To Connect Flexible Vacuum Cleaner Hoses To A Port, Allowing Me To Switch Between Different Equipment Easily By Screwing/Unscrewing Different Hoses. I Am Grateful To Crisherman For His Help In Modifying His Design, Which I Was Able To Embed In My Project: Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:1057932 Uses Stand 1.25In Vacuum Cleaner Hose Which You Can Buy In Bulk From Ebay: Http://Www.Ebay.Co.Uk/Itm/Generic-Black-1-1-4-X-50-Vacuum-Cleaner-Hose-/190535342430 This Hose Connector Requires 5 Components: 1) Vacuum_Cuff.Stl: This Left-Handed Cuff Screws Onto The Vacuum Hose - Pass The Hose Thru The Sleeve First! 2) Vacuum_Sleeve.Stl: Holds The Cuff+Hose Onto The Connector Lid. 3) Vacuum_Thru_Hole_Ring.Stl: Passes Thru The Hole In The Vacuum_Lid_With_Hole, To Which The Vacuum_Sleeve Is Attached. Note 4X Vertical Holes Are Dimensioned To Accommodate M3 Nutserts If You Wanted To Attach Different Hose Designs (Optional - You Don'T Need These Nutserts If You Are Using The Sleeve In This Design. 4) Vacuum_Lid_With_Hole.Stl: This Screws Onto The Vacuum_Connector_Plate_A. 5) Vacuum_Connector_Plate_A.Stl: Plate Onto Which Vacuum_Lid_With_Hole Screws To Allow Quick Connection/Release. Note That A And B Versions Are Supplied, Depending Upon Your Need (You Don'T Need To Print Both!). I Have Included Vacuum_Lid.Stl, Which Allows The Use To Cap A Hose Connection, Could Be Useful If You Needed To Close A Connection (You Could Have Multiple Connections In Parallel Within Your Workshop, Where Only One Was Operational At A Time. Note That The Plate Designs Are Duplicated - Use The One With Lily Pads On The Corners To Prevent Lifting - These Pads Can Be Cut Off With Scissors On Completion. Plates Also Contain Structure For Marking/Drilling Vacuum Hole - These Structures Should Be Snipped Off Once The Holes In The Support Material Have Been Marked/Drilles (Before Mounting The Plate).
