<h3>OpenSCAD project to create vacuum hose connectors.</h3>Intended for generating connections that would allow connecting vacuum hoses and tools of different diameters together.Parametric settings support a few connections types. The connections types can be used on ether end of the adapter.&nbsp;The project is actively maintained by myself. Please submit bugs and suggestions at the GitHub repo. <a target="_blank" href="https://github.com/ostat/vacuum-hose-adapter-openscad" rel="nofollow noopener">ostat/vacuum-hose-adapter-openscad</a>.<h2><img class="image_resized" style="width: 38.95%" src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/model/DSM00000000481868/design/009a8b5b-07b6-4bf0-8809-e2ad229be092.gif"></h2>&nbsp;Connector types<figure class="table" style="width: 100%"><table class="ck-table-resized"><colgroup><col><col></colgroup><tbody><tr><td> Hose connector  The hose connector is the most generic connector.
