Bug filter for Dyson DC45

thingiverse

We live in the countryside, and the autumn carries, with its fantastic colours, an awful lot of bugs, that can defeat even the tightest mosquito net. So, this add-on gadget for Dyson DC45 helps us to capture all those bugs inside our house, and keeps them separated from dust, so we can free them before they "pollute" dyson filters with their stink. A little glue is needed to join P1 and P2 (I printed them separated to avoid supports) and some M3 screws and nuts. The beam that drives the valve is a short threaded M3 beam. A pair of 10x3mm magnets keeps the valve well closed when the vacuum is off. I used an old plastic jar as the main canister.
