Shop vacuum hose connectors (40 and 41 mm)

Shop vacuum hose connectors

The vacuum cleaner in my little workshop is located stationary in one corner of the workshop. To reach the other side of the workshop, I use several hoses from old vacuum cleaners that are connected to each other. Most of these are recycled from old, defective vacuum cleaners 😊

Vacuum cleaner hoses with 40 and 41 mm OD seem to be a standard size in Europe.

STL files

The STL files are labeled according to the diameters in mm:

• VacuumHoseCoupler-H40-H40.stl connects a Hose with 40 mm OD to another Hose with 40 mm OD
• VacuumHoseCoupler-H40-H41.stl connects a Hose with 40 mm OD to a Hose with 41 mm OD
• VacuumHoseCoupler-H41-H41.stl ... you get the idea ;-)

Printing

Nothing special here. I printed most of these in PLA with 0.3 mm layer height, low infill (about 10%) and they work fine.
