Summary

This is a dust collector for standard utility wet/dry vacuum cleaners (shop-vacs) with 35 mm outer tube diameter, optimized for easy printing and suitable for small 3D printers. It adheres to the wall and leaves your hands free for drilling holes. It is a remix of my earlier Advanced Drill Dust Collector, with a couple of improvements:

  • even easier print, no supports and no critically thin parts,
  • larger bottom area resulting in even better adhesion to walls and ceilings,
  • larger drill hole (17.5 mm), teardrop shape for better bridging performance,
  • marking cross for easier aiming,
  • available with and without logo, the latter being highly discouraged ;-)

Main design goal was strong adhesion, particularly high resistance against tilting forces (torque), easy printing, suitability for small printers (e.g. 10 x 10 x 10 cm3 build volume), and low material comsumption (~40g). See original version for a detailed design description: thing 2806410

Updates:
2018/12/09 - added 30 mm version.
2022/01/22 - added version with large drill hole (printability and performance may be worse!)
