Rotadaptor - Rotating dust extraction adaptor

thingiverse

This is a freely rotating dust extraction adaptor for any hand tools with a 35mm port to a 38mm hose. The adapter freely rotates helping the problem of your hose trying to pull your tool over when in use. The tool end is slightly conical so it's a snug fit. The hose end is also a snug fit but I also used a hose clamp to be sure. It takes a careful but firm and even whack to get the fixing ring in place over the lugs. I printed this in PLA and it's fine but it may be better with a slightly more flexible filament to such as PETG to help with this. For use with a permanently installed shop dust extraction system, I've also included a cover to pop over the end of the adapter whilst not in use, if you don't have a blast gate. This took a few iterations to get right so ended up coming up with a cheesy name whilst waiting for new versions to print, apologies for this!
