Makita to Bosch dust extractor adaptor

thingiverse

This allows you to connect a Makita RT0700C (and I assume other Makita tools) to a Bosch GAS dust extractor. Print laying down. I recommend supports as there is little contact between the base of the model and the print bed. If you print upright it will go together fine but when you yank the thing around to disconnect it you'll probably break it. You need to print with 100% infill. It needs to be strong because of the forces exerted on it by the vacuum hose being dragged around. It also obviously wants to be as air tight as possible. Support file included. (Exported from Simplify3D) It's very strong end to end but you will break it if you try to squeeze the wider part with your fingers. That shouldn't ever be an issue so just don't do it. Push together the Makita side first. That way when you connect the Bosch side there is even pressure around the outer circumference of the printed part so the wall won't split. Trying to push the Bosch side in first means you'll have to grip the Makita side with your hand which will lead to splitting. Having said that, mine is now split in 4 places and it really makes no difference. I'll probably update it and just make the Makita side thicker because the airflow is limited by the internal diameter of the Bosch side anyway.
