Space Bag adaptor for modern Filter Queen

thingiverse

Using Space Bags or other vacuum storage bags with a newer model Filter Queen 360 vacuum cleaner is an exercise in frustration due to the hose's coupler not sealing against the Space Bag opening. To solve this problem, I created an adapter that plugs into the new-type Filter Queen hose on one end and sits flush against a Space Bag suction port on the other end. This adapter will not work with older models of the Filter Queen hose, specifically those produced before the 75th anniversary edition. Printing the adapter went smoothly using .2mm layers and perimeters set to 4, which resulted in most print walls being solid but used more filament than expected. I used PETG filament for the prototypes, and PLA should work just as well.
