Super Clean Your Shop Vac Filter

thingiverse

If you are constantly using your shop vac like me then you'll probably be searching for a better way to clean it. Before I designed this method, I used the "Wrap in a garbage bag and bump it against the floor method... all while holding my breath" the big disadvantage of this is when starting the shop-vac up, you get a big cloud of fine dust out from the exhaust. This new design is simple, cheap and pretty clean with none of the disadvantages of the previous method, it also ends up being faster as well. Here is what you'll need: A 3D printer, or access to one, this project is about 13 hours of 3D printing (relatively little) 1pc - 1/2"-13 x 12" Long Threaded rod (https://www.homedepot.ca/product/paulin-1-2-13x12-inch-thread-rod-plated-/1000797593) 5 pcs - 1/2"-13 Nuts (https://www.homedepot.ca/product/paulin-1-2-inch-13-finished-hex-nut-zinc-plated-grade-2-unc/1000123145) 3D Printed Top Plate 3D Printed Bottom Plate 3D Printed Knob Drill (Low RPM works best) I just realized that I only uploaded the bottom plate, still works with a washer, but now I've added the top plate, sorry!
