Description
This is almost a replica of the original hose adaptor & handle of the Hitashi CV-9800YJ Vacuum Cleaner with the exception that it does not have a relief valve which is typically found in the handle itself. The design is made with 3D printing in mind for ease of printing and minimal supports. The two pieces can be assembled by adding some glue and then sliding the handle into the adaptor. V2 can be assembled without adding any glue and it just snaps in place. -------------------------------------------- Update 7/17/2018 I have printed V2 and I confirm that it works perfectly! It takes a bit of force to connect them together but once they are attached, it would be impossible to separate them without breaking the parts. V2 also has a little bit tighter tube diameter meaning that the vacuum tube fits tighter. V1 still has good tightness and feel but by keeping both V1 and V2 files you can choose whichever fits your preference better ;) -------------------------------------------- Update 7/12/2018 I have added V2 but I have still to test it out so if you wish to print right now, print at your own risk. V2 has a snap-fit mechanism between the handle and the hose adaptor and you shouldn't need to use glue. I'll confirm with my results once I complete this print but for now since the time is short for the competition's deadline sake, use V1.
