4" Blast Gate to 2-1/2" Hose

Here are your original inputs: The input contains only plain text. Allowing you to go directly from a 4-inch blast gate in your dust collection system to a 2-1/2 inch hose in one smooth step. I've added a small groove around the 2-1/2 inch end to help firmly secure the flex hose under a sturdy hose clamp. No more unwanted hose slippage or shifting. To ensure this part withstands the rigors of a workshop environment, I used ABS and then applied acetone with a brush for added strength and stability. If you're working with PLA, make sure the layers are bonding well as it forms for maximum structural integrity.
