The Battle for Vacuum Cleaner Supremacy Ever tried to take down a foe with a trusty vacuum cleaner as your arsenal? I'm guessing you encountered the same problem that stumped me: Those pesky vacuum hoses lack rails, making it impossible to attach precision sights or laser targeting systems. A Clever Solution Emerges Enter the Nerf rail adaptor - a game-changer for vacuum cleaner warriors. Two sturdy clips wrap around the hose, slotting seamlessly into the rail's ends. Assemble this clever contraption and you're ready to unleash your Nerf arsenal on any enemy that dares to oppose you. In my hands-on test, I employed a Nerf Sight Extreme (not included) with impressive results. Check out the photos and see for yourself.

Printing Your Victory You have two options when it comes to printing your rail adaptor: print everything in one go or tackle the rail and clips separately. Just remember, if you opt for a separate print job, you'll need two clips - one for each end of the rail. Customizing Your Rail Adaptor The OpenSCAD source code is included for those who want to fine-tune their rail adaptor. Adjust the TubeDiameter setting to 60mm and it will fit snugly on my trusty Dyson vacuum cleaner. You may also want to tweak the RailLength to suit your needs, but be aware that a shorter rail might require fewer bumps. To customize the clips, make sure you're running at least OpenSCAD version 2016.
