Dyson V8 Handstick tool - wall mount/holder

thingiverse

I'm excited to show off my new Dyson V8 Handstick tool and accessories holder that screws onto the wall. As I glance over, two generations of Dyson Handstick Vacuums whizz by - the DC59 whooshes past, followed by the V6 whooshing in its wake, before the sleek Dyson V8 makes its presence known. My friend's daughter was cleaning her car when disaster struck: she dropped her trusty DC59 into a bucket of soapy water. Fizztzz! The vacuum sparked and sputtered, prompting her family to upgrade to the newer V8 model. Like its predecessor, this one comes with an impressive array of tools that won't fit on the wall mount or tool holder. This experience served as a reminder for me to update my Shapeways tool mounts. While doing so, I received a message here asking if I had created a Dyson V8 mount. My initial response was that I was working on it but unlikely to share it due to past instances of non-commercial license abuse :(. However, after reconsidering, I decided to create a basic version for you all. I've included a large "CC - NC" in the model as a clear reminder: this is for your personal use only. If you're interested in a higher-quality or multi-tool holder design, feel free to check out my Shapeways Shop Matter-Haus, where you'll also find an adapter to use pre-V8 tools with your V8. Post-Printing Instructions: 1. Snap out the two support bits from their holes. 2. If you have a drill bit handy, use it to trim the edges of the holder. Otherwise, test fit and trim the edges to create a right angle that properly engages the clip.
