Bug Cap for Black and Decker Dust Buster

thingiverse

We often use our Dust Buster to vacuum up insects inside the house by containing them with its cap while we take them outside or hunt down their fellow bugs. The cap is specifically designed for a BLACK + DECKER CHV1410L 16 volt Lithium Cordless Dust Buster Hand Vac. Print Settings: Printer Brand: LulzBot Printer: Mini Rafts: No Supports: No Notes: This prints with no supports if you print it upside-down and rotate to make the lid edge flat against the print bed - see the Cura screen shot. To achieve rotation in Cura, hold down the shift key when clicking to rotate; default rotation is by 15 degrees, but for this model, a 140-degree rotation is required (refer to the Cura screen shot). How I Designed This: I designed the angled lid to be particularly thick so it adheres well to the print bed. If thinner, the print might break loose from the bed during printing due to the 40-degree angled tube that fits into the nozzle of the Dust Buster. Most printers can handle an overhang at up to 45 degrees off vertical; this 40-degree angle should work just fine. The indentation of the lettering is deeper than I'd prefer, but Cura seems to ignore features under 0.5mm thick. To avoid small details that Cura would disregard, I used a Sans-Serif font in FreeCAD. Note: FreeCAD's True-Type fonts are available for many uses and can be found in the FreeCAD installation folder.
