Gripping Vacuum Adapter for Bosch Orbital Sander (Customizable)

cults3d

This is a custom adapter for Bosch GEX 125-150 AVE orbital sanders that replaces the standard rubber connector with a more secure and reliable option. I previously relied on a basic rubber adapter to connect my vacuum cleaner to the Bosch sander, but it would consistently come loose and fall off, leading me to design this improved adapter. The new adapter features precision-cut grooves that snugly fit onto the internal windings of the dust outlet on the sander. To produce the adapter, print two copies using a 3D printer or similar technology. The adapter halves can then be easily assembled together and secured with a cable tie. I personally use reclosable cable ties to ensure a hassle-free removal process when needed. It's uncertain whether this design will work seamlessly on other Bosch orbital sanders or tools, which is why feedback from users would be greatly appreciated.
