Craftsman twist on hose adapter for wet/dry vacs

thingiverse

This part fits Sears hose 17866 (1 1/4") or 17825 (1 7/8"), but may work with others. Leave a comment if you find any other hoses that it matches. The clip "steps" should face the vacuum when installed, and it will probably fit only one way as designed originally. I bought a Craftsman 5hp/4gal wet/dry vacuum (model# 12002) for my garage on clearance without a hose. I didn't find out until I bought a replacement hose that the listed hose 17866 in the manual does not fit. That's when I came up with my homemade twist adapter. Save yourself the trouble of calling Sears, as the model is discontinued and their recommendation was to modify the vacuum or the hose to fit. The parts fit very tightly, so make sure your printer is well-calibrated because over-extruding the first few layers will make it difficult to get the hose fully seated and you risk cracking the part. You can scale this up to 101-102% if you have tolerance issues.
