Bosch Slider Saw Vacuum Adapter

Just got one of those new Bosch 12" sliding compound miter saws (GCM12SD), and I need something to attach my 2.5" shopvac hoses to it. So I slapped this thing together. Yeah Bosch sells adapters, but this one is probably better! :)

I modeled it in Freecad. So it's fully parameterized; changes and alternative stl files will be easy to spank out. So post a comment if you have different size vacuum hoses you'd like to see an STL for, or if you have another tool with a similar style 'rotating latch' that has slightly different dimensions.

Please note that supports are required.

Enjoy

Side note:

I use one of these automatic vacuum switches with this thing:

You can make one with a 'duino, relay, and hall sensor, but the premade ones are worth the T+M saved.

[Update 11/17/2020:

I uploaded a "*125.stl" that is supposed to fit 1.25" hoses. I made some assumptions about the dimensions and I don't have the hose to test fit with. So please let me know if it doesn't work well, and I can upload another stl with proper dimensions.]
