Desktop Cyclonic Vacuum

thingiverse

I wanted a handheld vacuum cleaner for my desktop, mainly because it's hilarious. It works fairly well and looks decent. This tiny machine isn't optimized or intelligently designed, but I'm sharing the files in hopes they might be useful if you want to build something similar. Video of it running: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5AofjQuuh4 The design was made with rules that everything is assembled via screws (no glue), and components should be modular. Everything was mostly achieved - although you may need to post-process parts depending on your printer. In the video, it's being powered by a large power supply with a function generator creating the signal for the ESC. The final version will have electronics integrated, but I'm not there yet. I'll release the files for the integrated electronics when I have them. I should note that this thing is terrifying when running and the impeller can explode when spinning fast enough. Wear safety glasses at all times!
