Dyson adapter

thingiverse

When my Dyson DC14's "Turbine Pet Hair Attachment Tool" stopped working, I promptly ordered the newer model, the Tangle-Free Turbine Tool, directly from Dyson. Unfortunately, it doesn't fit, and there's no adapter available for my DC14 since it's an antique/out-of-stock model. It sounds like a great opportunity to design and print something new. I started with peaberry's excellent Modular Accessory Rack as a base and added the DC14-compatible fitting. The tool works seamlessly with both the "male" (extension) connector and "female" (hose) connector. For a spring, I searched high and low until inspiration struck in the shower - I salvaged the spring from a pump-top shampoo bottle... cutting it with wire cutters to achieve the correct tension (button travel is about 0.5mm - so you don't need much spring). ----- Added v2 buttons - with more strength on the pivot (and single-sided insertion... the first one broke as I installed the spring - right at the layer line).
