Flexible Hose for Dust Extraction

Designed to seamlessly integrate into your workshop, the clamp has a 35mm hole on both ends to suit a standard shop vacuum hose end. If you choose not to use the clamp, then I have included an adaptor to convert from flexi hose directly to shop vac.

I have created several Pillar Drill clamp sizes, so hopefully one will fit.

Parts for Assembly

• 2 x M6x35mm Countersink Bolts
• 2 x M6 Nuts

I would recommend printing with 8 Mid Link, plus a Start Link and End Link, to give maximum flexibility in the design. After printing, I would recommend lightly sanding the parts to remove any lumpy bits before assembly. Also a little PTFE lubricant can help. The model was a remix from teslapunk, though has now be reworked completely.

• Nozzle: 0.4mm
• Layer Height: 0.20mm
• Infill: 25%
• Orientation: Orientation is important, see images
• Supports: Only required for Clamp A as pictured
• Brim: Brim is recommended for Funnel Attachment, everything else is fine without

Funnel Attachments

There are two funnel attachment options for various purposes (see images). These should all be printed with the hose end to the bed. A 5mm brim is a good idea and the ‘Encapsulated Funnel Attachment’ will need support.

Clamp Files

I have designed a large number of Clamp Attachment diameters to suit different drills. Because there are so many, I haven't created a Print Profile for each. Instead you can get the file by: 

• Using a desktop browser and clicking the green button labelled ‘Download STL/CAD Files’ 
• The click ‘Download STL/CAD Files’
• Then open the ‘Clamps Files’ folder

Sorry it's so complicated, MakerWorld for some reason doesn't make this easy to find.

Important Note:

Some printers may print links looser than others. For this reason I would recommend doing a test print first, if you find the connection too loose it maybe worth looking at your print settings.

I would recommend printing this print PETG rather than PLA for increased durability.
