Gripping Vacuum Adapter for Bosch Orbital Sander (Customizable)

thingiverse

This is a vacuum adapter for Bosch GEX 125-150 AVE orbital sander. I previously used a rubber adapter to connect my vacuum cleaner to the Bosch sander, but it quickly loosened and fell off. I therefore designed this adapter with grooves on the inside that directly fit onto the windings of the dust outlet of the sander. Print the adapter twice. The adapter halves fit together and can be secured using a cable tie. I am currently utilizing reclosable cable ties to allow for easy removal of the adapter. I cannot confirm whether this design will fit other (Bosch) orbital sanders or tools, so please provide feedback if you have any experience with it. According to the manual's recommendation, the lateral ventilation holes are intentionally left open to prevent the router from sucking onto the work piece.
