Dyson DC59 Nozzle Adaptor for Vacuum Bags

thingiverse

This adapter lets you use your Dyson DC59 (and similar) hand vacuum cleaner with "space bags" (clothing storage bags). Since these vacuum cleaners have a part that sticks out, blocking the nozzle from fitting tightly into the space bag nozzle, you can't get a good seal without it. I uploaded two designs: One is just a simple nozzle with no special features - use this as a starting point to make other adaptors and vacuum tools. The second one has a key that stops the tool from turning freely, holes for air to pass through (to stop the vacuum from pulsing when airflow gets low), and a cover on the vents that you can turn to adjust how much air flows. I'd like to see if anyone else uses these as a basis for other vacuum cleaner attachments. Side note: I didn't do the testing needed to size the vent holes correctly (i.e., drill test holes in the non-vented attachment to find out how big the hole needs to be to stop pulsing), so the two longer slots are bigger than they need to be. Based on tests with the new model ("space bag attachment - with breather"), you'll need an opening of about 75mm² to let enough air through and prevent the dyson from pulsing off due to low airflow. This is like having the second smallest breather half-covered.
