About this 3D model
Boost Me If you found this model useful, consider boosting me to help support future projects! This is a dust collector quick connector for 4 inch ID hoses, inspired from the Rockler Quick Connect. I tried the various magnet-based quick connectors and find them to be cool, but too easy to get disconnected (not enough magnetic hold), especially when the pipes are somewhat heavy and stretched/at-an-angle. Friction fit is the best interface. Features: 2.5 degree interface angle with 40mm mating surface: loads of grip fits 4in ID hoses, eg, the diameter of the printed connector is 101.6mm (tested fit with Lee Valley 4 inch polyurethane dust hose) swivel joint - allows the pipe to rotate freely at the joint Included Components/Adapters: SawStop Jobsite Saw dust port (65mm/2.5inch OD port) Extension swivel - extend any number of 4in ID hoses with the hoses freely rotating on its own Wall hanger for quick connector - holds the whole thing upright and pipes neatly out of your way more will be added in future as I expand my dust collection system Print Instructions: Fits Bambu Labs x1c/p1p/p1s printers note that the files often contains multiple objects, model viewers shows the assembled version. Set your print plates accordingly Generally speaking: 0.4mm nozzle ABS or PETG preferred for strength, PLA works too. Be careful with ABS shrinking, this is dimensioned exactly 4 perimeter 15% infill Quick Connector settings: Print with the interface opening facing down on the build plate, angled 45 degrees (see pictures) Tree support, 40 degree threshold angle 10mm brim Wall hanger settings: horizontal on mounting interface support enabled, make sure the rods are printed horizontally and not vertically (for strength and layer adhesion Assembly: glue the swivel holder to the main body with the hose connector inside be careful to not glue the hose connector Interface dimensions to design your own adapters: ID 48.30mm (4inch ID hose - 2.5mm wall thickness) thickness start: 1mm 2.5 degree angle outwards 40mm length of interface (revolve tool around axis in fusion 360, should be extremely easy to replicate) Included the Fusion 360 files Changelog: Oct 17 2023 - added wall hanger for quick connector Oct 16 2023 - added swivel extension, refactored designs into components and cleaned it up
