Dryer Vent Vacuum Adapter

thingiverse

This adapter is designed to assist in cleaning your clothes dryer vent ducting. It's meant to be used alongside a flexible rod and brush vent cleaning kit, available at hardware/home improvement stores or online sources like Gardus LintEater. These kits come in two versions: one with the basic duct brush and variable rod segments, and another that costs roughly double as much with additional accessories, including an adapter similar to this one I've designed, which allows you to attach a vacuum cleaner or Shop Vac to the end of the vent duct to capture dislodged lint accumulation. A demonstration is available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecl5ejXvqm8. I've included files for two different vacuum hose sizes: 30mm/1.2" and 58mm/2.3". The hole for the brush rod can be capped with a small cap when inserting the cleaning brush from the opposite end of the ductwork.
