Hair dryer nozzle adapter for air mattress

thingiverse

I have a blow-up mattress that needs constant inflation when I host guests, but I lack an efficient air pump. However, I do possess a reliable hair dryer with a 'cold' setting (H&D model HD-1205). Its nozzle opening is 25mmx50mm, while the blow-up mattress opening is circular in shape. So, I created this adapter to link them together seamlessly. It works perfectly and allows me to avoid purchasing an actual air pump altogether. This is indeed living the 3D print lifestyle. As of February 5th, 2016, I added a version 2 with a small notch that enables it to securely snap onto the end of the hair dryer, eliminating the need for tape as seen in the pictures above. Does this milestone bring us one step closer to global harmony? Yes, it certainly does.
