Vacuum Adapter

Hi Makers!  I'm a mechanical engineer & open source developer.  You'll find all my designs are inter-operable and have documentation at OpenLab Project.

Find my content on Youtube to learn about:

• design for 3D printing
• open source hardware
• multidisciplinary engineering

**Parametric Vacuum Adapter**

Adapt a vacuum hose to fit others.

In workshops the popular fittings are 32mm, 45mm, and 58mm nominally.

► this design is parametric: you can change the parameters and the model updates geometry automatically.

► one end is for female fitment, the other end is male

► each end has a conical shape around 1 degree from straight

► the model adjusts each end from nominal, for fitment.

► ie, the male end of a 45mm fitment is smaller than 45mm to fit a female tube of 45mm

► you can enter any value, but please learn to measure your vacuum first.

► air flows from section A to section B

► the number designation is A first, then B

► the "PRINT" coordinate frame sets end "A" on the print bed
