Description
Adapter to fit a "freedom" model hoover, so it can be attached to a 50mm hose to for jobs like sawdust collection.
Seems to work well in testing. The hose end has ridges to help attachment. For me it's a push fit, but if it's loose you could always also use with zip-ties or a hose clamp.
The hoover end uses its original attachment mechanism. If you find the adapter unlatches and slips out of the hoover, then double check the the little square indent bit, ensuring that the flat wall (closest to the hole) has a flat edge. Since this is an overhang, filament can sag here and affect the clip.
The print shown in the pictures was using Elegoo PETG Pro, which seemed to work well here.
STEP file available, in addition to STL, for potential easy editing.
