Vacuum adapter Shark to Shop Vac

thingiverse

I designed this adapter to use accessories from a standard Walmart cheap Shop Vac with our Shark vacuum cleaner wand. A bit of trial and error was necessary, as my digital calipers stopped working while designing this project. The adapter fits inside both the shark wand and Shop Vac accessories, thanks to near perfect matching tapers. It fits snugly on both sides. I created two versions - one with letters for easy identification among other adapters I've made, and another without them. In the picture, you can see me hastily trying to color the raised lettering with a permanent marker, but it didn't turn out well. It looked better without it. Advice: The lettering will look even better if printed at lower resolutions. Warning: I'm not sure if all Shark vacuum cleaners have the same diameter wand, and also unsure about diameters of more expensive Shop Vacs beyond bigger hoses for "industrial" or "heavy duty" versions.
