Description
Stop the sawdust mess in your workshop! This custom-designed adapter allows you to connect your Metabo planer (e.g., DH 330 or similar models) directly to a standard shop vacuum or dust extraction hose.
Why you’ll love this design:
Perfect Friction Fit: Designed with precise tolerances to slide onto the Metabo dust port and stay there during vibration.
Streamlined Airflow: The internal geometry is smoothed to prevent wood chips from clogging the transition.
Heavy Duty: Built to withstand the rigors of a woodworking shop and the heat of continuous planing.
Universal Connection: Bridges the gap between proprietary tool ports and common vacuum hose diameters.
Perfect for: Woodworkers looking to improve dust collection and keep their workspace clean.
Material: PETG is highly recommended. It is more impact-resistant than PLA and can handle the mechanical stress of the hose connection better.
Layer Height: 0.2 mm or 0.28 mm (functional parts don't need to be "pretty", speed is fine here).
Wall Line Count (Perimeters): 4 to 5 (Crucial for strength so the adapter doesn't crack when you tighten a hose clamp or shove it onto the port).
Infill: 25% (Rectilinear or Gyroid).
Supports: Only needed if your specific hose diameter creates a very steep overhang (usually not required for most tapered designs).
Personal Note: I designed this after getting frustrated with leaky duct tape solutions and messy piles of wood chips. Since using this adapter, my workshop stays significantly cleaner, and the suction power is much more consistent.
