Description
Food vacuum sealer adapter for filament reel vacuum storage dry bags.
Vacuum bags are a good way to store opened filament reels and keep them from absorbing more moisture. The bags are modestly priced and come with a hand pump (or a small battery-operated pump for more money) with which to evacuate the bag. The chintzy hand pump is not very efficient nor fun to operate. No problem: I have a full-featured electric food storage vacuum sealer. Or so I thought.
Unfortunately, the removable tip from the hand pump is the wrong size for the fitting for my food sealer; and my sealer does not come with a bag surface sealer fitting. This model is my fix.
It works in PLA but is better in flexible TPU material.
Both STL & STEP files are provided, as well a Fusion 360 file if you want to play with the sizing.
