Henry Vacuum Cleaner Hose Adapter

thingiverse

This is an adapter to allow my old vacuum cleaner hose to fit onto a Henry. The goal for this project was to use my existing hose without modifying it. I achieved this by creating a flange to push onto the hose and a screw cap to seal onto the vacuum. The diameter of the screw cap is 62mm, making it an M62x4 thread, with a 35mm hole through the center for free rotation. The flange has a 33.5mm port for the hose (my hose is 33mm in diameter). This allows the hose to push fit in my case, but other prints may need a spot of glue. To assemble, first put the cap on the hose and then push the flange on - as shown in the photos. I've got a breakdown of my design process on my blog here: https://plabs107524285.wordpress.com/2018/02/25/designing-a-hose-adapter-for-henry/
