Vacuum Adapter for Harbor Freight Orbital Sander and Shop Vac

thingiverse

Harbor Freight is a fantastic store for the starting hobbyist who's just getting into tooling up their workshop. But let's face it, sometimes their tools come with limitations that can be frustrating to work around. In this case, I wanted to use their compact shop-vac and random orbital sander together, but there was one problem - the hose from the vacuum wouldn't fit the sander. A 3D printer and a set of calipers make it incredibly easy to fix this issue. The model is carefully designed with a snug fit in mind. The model works as intended on my printer, and it's not uncommon to need to scale the model up or down by a couple percent to get the perfect fit every time. 2-1/2 gal.
