Magnetic Vent Hose Attachment X1C/P1S, 10x2.5 & 10x3 magnets

VENTILATION HOSE PRINTER ATTACHMENT 3"

Update 16 October 2024

After request I´ve added a step file and an stl file containing both the backplate and the adapter for using 10x3mm magnets.

Renamed the previous files to specify the magnet dimensions.

A screw on & magnetic hose attachment for the back of X and P series printers.

Screw on the backplate to the printer and add a 3" ventilation hose to the adapter. When you need ventilation you magnetically attach the adapter with the hose to the backplate on the printer and either run the hose out a window or to a filter. I run mine to an air purifier with a hepa filter when I print ABS/ASA as I do not have a window near the printer.

Remix of RandomKhaos model with the following changes:

• 10x2.5mm magnets (only need 8 instead of 16) - Let me know if you need different size magnets
• Slimmer profile
• Counterbore and countersunk screw holes
• Lip added to hose adapter (hose clamp not needed)

10x2.5MM MAGNETS

This design uses 10x2.5mm magnets. These are strong enough that you only need 4 magnets on each piece (8 total).

The magnet holes are designed as press fit and takes some force to install so there is no need for glue.

HOSE ATTACHMENT LIP

A lip is added to the end of the hose attachment for a more secure fit. There is not even a need for a hose clamp.

SOCKET HEAD COUNTERBORE

There is one existing M3 threaded screw hole on the back of the printer. The hole for this has a counterbore for a socket head m3 screw.

COUNTERSUNK SCREW HOLES

The 3 remaining holes are countersunk for normal wood or sheet metal screws. These match up with 3 existing holes on the back of the printer that you can screw into (no need to cut threads).
