Pro-ject VC-E record cleaning exhaust port

thingiverse

Pro-ject VC-E is a record cleaning machine to wash and vacuum vinyl records. It is excellent overall, but has one issue with the exhaust blowing dirty water up at the bottom of the record. This is an exhaust duct to redirect the airflow out and down the side of the machine away from the record. No more dirty water on the record! I took some inspiration from another nice design: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5144198 My design for the Project VCE has slightly different dimensions and internal structures for support, and I used a rubber gasket in the port attachment (see white rubber gasket in photo) to ensure a sealed fit so air doesn't leak out. The gasket also helps keep the part in place, and I used a small piece of double-sided tape under the part when attaching it to the machine for extra stability. I don't recommend using this without a gasket - it won't seal or stay in place.
