DWV9140 Airlock Adapter for DeWALTSaw

thingiverse

I recently acquired a DeWALT DWV9000 dust extractor, but it lacked an essential component that would connect its vacuum hose to my DeWALT table saw or surface planer. The hose features a female Airlock(TM) adapter, while the saw has a standard 2.5-inch OD outlet. To bridge this gap, I discovered that an adapter with an Airlock(TM) male on one end and a tapered 2.25-inch OD fitting on the other would do the trick. This adapter is available for purchase from the manufacturer, but I opted to create my own instead of buying it. When printing the adapter, I made sure to orient it with the Airlock(TM) side facing downwards. This eliminated the need for supports during the printing process. However, for added security, I chose to print a brim to keep the adapter firmly attached to the build plate.
