I like the idea and design of the SHOPVAC (50mm) CAMLOCK CONNECTORS WITH MAGNETIC CATCH by PeterH, but after printing it with PLA and 0.3mm layers, the hose connector and the male adaptor would not fit together.  So I redesigned the male adaptor (using the graciously provided dimensions) with FreeCAD to fit and used that design to design my implementation of the Rigid hose-securing mechanism.  The Rigid mechanism never worked very well after some use and it is only doable as a molded product.  I designed my version with a separate hook that pivots on a screw shaft.  The hook is printed with 0.2mm layers and out of PETG so that it will flex better and not distort as PLA does over time.I did not use the embedded magnets as I do not have any of that size, and so far it works very well, but time will tell if that holds true.
