Two different Festool ETS 150 Sander to 35mm Vac Adaptors

thingiverse

Do you have a Festool ETS150 Random Orbit Sander (ROS)?Have you tried the other shop vac attachments around the web, printed them, and found that the vacuum end is a little small for a 35mm vacuum? (no innuendos here, I promise)Maybe you've wished to add a bend into the adaptor so you can lift that pipe over a drawer side, and sand the bottoms of drawers and other confined spaces more easily?Then try mine here. I have a straight adaptor (conveniently resized for 35mm shop vac attachments) like the other designers have done.. but UNLIKE others, I've added separate model with a 45 degree bend too. Both work with my Karcher MV4 shop vacuum (the handle on the hose is actually 35mm, not 34.5 or whatever the other ones are).Actually the vacuum end is tapered from 35.5mm at the open end gently narrows to 34.845mm (if my printer's accurate) over 40mm travel.. that should ensure a decent seal and friction fit.If it does or doesn't work for you, please let me know which vacuum/hose model you have (and diameter) so I can add that information here, and even tweak it if I have time.You might be wondering, "Where's my 2.25 inch (57mm-ish) or other larger piped equivalent?"Well believe it or not, my favourite fellow sawdust making enthusiasts/nutters (their words) have found that it's a bit too chunky to fit around the handle, especially the bent one. Also, the Festool socket itself restricts airflow too much for wider piped shop vacs, and without adequate airflow to cool the vac's motor, there's a risk of burning it out. But if you REALLY want to... I have an idea.... (slightly crazy).You could combine this with one of my parametric circular pipe adaptors found here, (the straight, the kinked, and the gently bending ones) which would work pretty easily. If anyone tries it, I'd love to see the results!Enjoy!Ham.
