Vacuum LocLine 2-1/2" Coupling for Dust Collection

prusaprinters

<p>I wanted an adjustable dust collection solution for my drill press. This solution uses a 2-1/2" Loc-Line [1] mounted to the drill press with a 14" 2x4 [2]. It joins with a regular 2" shopvac hose via this thing (3D printed coupling).</p> <p>The coupling fits into Loc-Line very snug, so I recommend using hot air gun for 15-20 seconds to lightly soften the Loc-Line while pushing the coupling in. The inside of the coupling is tapered for the shopvac hose to fit in snug, but is also easily removable.</p> <p>For reference my shopvac is the Ridgid 4 gal [3] and the hose outside diameter is tapered 44-46mm (~1.75").</p> <ol> <li>Loc-Line Vacuum Hose Component, Acetal Copolymer, 9 Elements Segment, 2-1/2" Hose ID, 1' Length https://www.amazon.com/Loc-Line-Component-Copolymer-Elements-Segment/dp/B00270GDB6/</li> <li>Drill two 2-1/2" holes about 10" apart with hole saw in a 2x4, then cut it in half length-wise. Use 2 bolts to turn it into a clamp. Now you can clamp the drill press and the Loc-Line in place allowing to rotate the Loc-Line around drill press.</li> <li><a href="https://www.homedepot.com/p/RIDGID-4-Gal-5-0-Peak-HP-Portable-Wet-Dry-Vacuum-WD4070/202077241">https://www.homedepot.com/p/RIDGID-4-Gal-5-0-Peak-HP-Portable-Wet-Dry-Vacuum-WD4070/202077241</a></li> </ol> <h3>Print instructions</h3><h3>Category: Parts Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong> MK3</p> <p><strong>Printer:</strong> <a href="http://amzn.to/2DxjZlB">Prusa i3</a></p> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong> No</p> <p><strong>Supports:</strong> No</p> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong> 0.15</p> <p><strong>Infill:</strong> 70%</p> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>PLA or ABS</p>
