Ridgid Vac Handle

prusaprinters

<p>Parts to make my Ridgid Wet/Dry vacuum (model WD12701) less irritating to use. A raised handle so I can move it while walking erect. A hook to hold the power cord so I don't have to wrap and unwrap it from the top. Two hooks to hold the hose so it doesn't flop around and get in the way. It really is much nicer to use now.</p> <p>Details and the saga of construction can be found at <a href="https://tomhorsley.com/hardware/corexy/gallery-ridgid.html">https://tomhorsley.com/hardware/corexy/gallery-ridgid.html</a></p> <p>I suspect the same parts would work on different model Ridgid vacs since they aren't likely to make random different sized accessories for different models, but your mileage may vary.</p> <p>After a few months of fairly heavy use, the supports under the canister lip broke because the vacuum had gotten heavier with waste sucked up, and tilting it was too much for the parts to survive. I've added the "new-support" parts now which use 1/4-20 bolts for greater strength (but require a notch or hole be cut in the canister lip).</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer:</strong></p> <p>DIY corexy homebuild printer</p> <p class="detail-setting rafts"><strong>Rafts: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Supports:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting resolution"><strong>Resolution: </strong> <div><p>0.3mm</p></div> <p><strong>Infill:</strong></p> <p>10%</p> <p><strong>Filament:</strong></p> hatchbox PETG <p>blue</p> </p></p> Category: Household Supplies
