Description
Background
I bought an old version of a Dust Right(r) 4 inch quick disconnect. For my purposes, it has been best to use it backwards (inlet as outlet). I printed an adapter for a 4 inch flex hose to hook to what is normally the quick disconnect end (normally the inlet). I have been printing adapters for various tools to attach to the to what is supposed to be the outlet for a 4 inch flex hose (so normally the outlet). (see picture)
In order to make this more generically connection useful I have added the 4 inch Hose ID to 100 mm OD hard adapter. Full disclosure, I have not printed this adapter because I don't currently need it. If it needs tweaked send me a comment.
Details
This adapts a normal shop vac hose inlet to a 100 mm OD pipe. The 100 mm side has a short 103 to 100 mm taper to ease pipe insertion. I print this flat side down with flex (95A TPU) flat side down.
The 4 inch Hose ID to 100 mm OD should be printed rigid, PLA, PETG et al. Hose clamp may be needed on the 4 inch end. Everything else should be friction fit.
