100mm flexible dust pipe to surface connector

thingiverse

Designed to connect 100mm flexible spiral dust pipe to a flat surface that is also connected to something else by 100mm flexible spiral dust pipe. Design considerations: quick to connect - max 90deg turn required to connect or disconnect good seal - bevelled edges and mating surface with angled engagement points ensure that the seal is as good as possible without having to require rubber O-rings. clamp-less - the spiral threading on both ends ensures that these screw into the pipe securely without the need of compression clamps to maintain position. 3D printing: female end prints best with the flange side down and bridging settings enabled to get clean 45's for screw bevels. Male end works best with the screw thread towards the bed with the pipe aligned to the z-axis. (the bevelled mating surface does not maintain good contact with the bed if printed up the other way).
