Shop Vac Dust Collection Duct

thingiverse

A shop vac dust collector designed for my Fein shop vac to use with my lathe. This was printed in ABS plastic with 0.3 mm layer height. The dust collector hose just fits inside the back port; a future revision would be to make that opening slightly larger. Dust collector port is 4 inches by 3 inches in size (outside dimensions, inside are 3 3/4" x 2 3/4").I printed this with supports; I think that if one were to print with the collector opening on the bed, supports might be minimized or eliminated. Update 10/27/23 I've added a 55 degree angle STL to the available files. If you make this, you will also need to design and make some method of holding the hose to a stand. I made some laser cut holders; they are so specific to the application that I have not included them in this post.
