Dust cyclone for vacuum cleaner

thingiverse

This dust cyclone works for Electrolux vacuum cleaners with an upward facing hose connector, utilizing a cyclone separation method to separate most of the dust before it enters the vacuum cleaner. It performs rather well at separating dust and hair. Gravel and larger pieces tend to swivel around inside and create some noise, but they can easily be poured into the bin by removing the cyclone adapter. Be aware that this consists of several large and time-consuming prints. The big bin uses almost all print volume on my Anet A6 printer with dimensions 22x22x24 cm. Also, cleaning up support material from the spiral adapter is quite difficult. Note that I haven't printed the lid yet; instead, I used a metal bowl as a makeshift lid. Additionally, the large bin was a failed print for me, so I had to reprint the leftover parts and glue them in place, resulting in an uneven appearance but still functioning correctly. The bin has threads, making it easy to remove from the spiral adapter by turning and lifting it out. The spiral adapter is also simple to remove by pressing a button and then lifting it out. Furthermore, this adapter fits the native snap-in vacuum hose without any issues. A Fusion 360 file is provided for those who are willing to take on the challenge of printing this dust cyclone.
