Dupray Neat Steam Cleaner Caddy & Cap Grip

thingiverse

The Neat Dupray steam cleaner: great for cleaning, cute design, total usability fail. So, let's trade some form for function. My Neat caddy does five things: 1. Keeps the carrying handle from retracting into the body and sitting on top of the boiler (which makes it way too hot to touch). 2. Enables me to wrap the permanently attached hose around the machine. 3. Provides storage space for two cleaning attachments and four brushes. 4. Makes it unnecessary to wrap the power cable around the spool hidden beneath the machine. 5. Allows me to carry everything with one hand. Clip the front and back pieces of the caddy to the sides of the handle, wrap the hose around the caddy, and place the cleaning wand in the brackets above the handle. You can then wrap the power cable with a Velcro strap, and hang it over the posts on the front part of the caddy. *Side note: if you haven't yet learned the [over/under wrapping method](https://www.premiumbeat.com/blog/wrap-cables-cords-rope/), I highly recommend you check it out. It's super easy once you get the hang of it, and will preserve the life of all your cords/cables/ropes.* The two big pegs for cleaning attachments have shields so that the hose won't get in the way when you're sliding attachments on/off. In addition to the caddy, I've designed a grip that makes it easier to open/close the boiler to add water. Just slide it over top of the boiler cap.
