Vacuum Adapter

People with older tools can now use them with a Hoover Air Cordless vacuum thanks to an adapter. Older tools have a straightforward rectangular shape with a slight curve on the long edges and a size of approximately 36mm x 18mm. The tool socket on the Air Cordless has a more intricate design and a latching clip mechanism. The Hoover Air Cordless is available either as just a handheld unit or in combination with a "stick" style upright unit under various model numbers. I think they all have the same tool socket, and this adapter will fit any of them. I recommend printing in the orientation shown. To ensure good adhesion and enable supports for the outer flange and inner lip, you'll need to use a brim. I printed my version with AMZ3D orange PLA at 0.2mm layer height.
