Onshape, which is cloud-based CAD software free for public files, seemed like the perfect choice. I created some templates: 4” male to DW straight reducer https://goo.gl/flzXUD 4” female to DW straight reducer https://goo.gl/kEJYsq 1.875” female to DW straight reducer https://goo.gl/2HKPRN 1.875” female straight coupling https://goo.gl/g93fjr 1.875” male straight coupling https://goo.gl/GgjqWr 1.875” female elbow coupling https://goo.gl/HUqKgb I also made a video showing how to modify templates and model a hose adapter from scratch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-8ZF1DM4_E If you need any more templates or shapes, let me know and I'll try to keep the list up-to-date. Have fun!
