Shop vac hose swivel end

thingiverse

A replacement hose swivel end for the Craftsman 113.177805 8 gallon wet/dry shop vac connects directly to a nozzle. This part enables attachment of additional hoses if extra reach from the vacuum is necessary. I utilized PLA with 15% infill and 0.3mm layer height in my print (faster settings were chosen). Adding a brim is recommended, as minimal contact area between the print bed and object may lead to failure without one. Supports are unnecessary. According to the manual: The swivel end of the hose can be removed if additional hoses need to be attached for increased length from the vacuum. To remove the swivel portion, grasp the hose swivel firmly and pull it out of the flexible hose. Connect a second hose (accessory #9-17820) into the swivel end by forcing the sections together until they fit tightly. Trivia: The taper begins with a diameter of 57.7mm, featuring a half-angle of 1°.
