This is an add-on for the [DeWalt™ AirLock™ compatible twist-lock dust collector fitting](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4512926) by [Allen Derusha (svideo)](https://www.thingiverse.com/svideo). The twist-lock itself is just perfectly designed - really excellent work !! So all the credits should go to the original design. I only changed the bottom connector to support other hoses and tubes, re-using my own design for threaded and pivot-able hose connectors (e.g. see [thing:5140311](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5140311). The original design for 32mm vacuums isn't common in all countries. A friend of mine requested adapters for 40mm vacuums. so I designed sockets for 35mm and 40mm vacuum, both in three versions. - Threaded adapter for 35mm and 40mm vacuum hose - Threaded pivot-able (rotatable) adapter for 35mm and 40mm vacuum hose - Simple socket for 35mm and 40mm vacuum tube The pivot-able versions consist of three parts, the anchor for the hose, the main adapter/socket and a lock ring to fix the anchor inside (see [here](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5140311) for assembly instructions). The photos show the 40mm pivot-able adapters in yellow-black, the fixed version in red-grey. Both have counter-clockwise threads to screw in a vacuum hose. The pivot-able is a bit thicker to allow rotating the vacuum tube. The main AirLock™ inner and outer twist ring is only re-uploaded here for convenience and can also be taken from the original [DeWalt™ AirLock™ compatible twist-lock dust collector fitting](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4512926). To connect the adapter base to the twist-lock I recommend to use a vise, as it really requires some force to connect the socket to the inner twist ring. No glue is required (again thanks to [Allen](https://www.thingiverse.com/svideo) for this excellent design.
