Interloc magnetic hose coupling system

thingiverse

This is another magnetic coupling system that I designed for my specific needs. My system uses 8 magnets per coupler and it has interlocking "fingers" to help keep the couplings from twisting apart during use. The flange and adapters are separate from each other for ease of printing. The following magnets are super strong and work with this system: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08GLS59JS?ie=UTF8&psc=1&linkCode=sl1&tag=thomaslightle-20&linkId=88893484be73467a8135ff41aea334b5&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl Here are the file descriptions: InterLoc v5.stl - This is the main flange that accepts the magnets 1065x1095.stl - This will adapt an InterLoc flange to a standard 4" PVC vent pipe InterLoc to SV adapter.stl - This adapts the InterLoc flange to a 2.5" shop vac hose DeWalt_planer_to_SV-adapter.stl - This adapts the outlet of a DeWalt 735 planer to a 2.5" shop vac hose hose_adapter_110_base.stl - This adapts a 4" dust collector hose to the InterLoc flange I use super glue to attach the magnets to the flange and I use clear Gorilla glue to attach the adapters to the flanges. Fitment can be tricky, your mileage may vary. I use aluminum tape to make up the difference between adapters and hoses. This project is featured on my YouTube channel.
