Vacuum cleaner hose-fix

thingiverse

After a long fight with my vacuum cleaners' hoses, I decided to make a thing which keeps them in position. I wind up the hoses into small circles, but they keep unwinding themselves. And here it is, the vacuum cleaner hose fix! Just wind up the hose, clip the thing in place, and no more problems! Hope there are people whose problems will be solved by this revolutionary gadget :) There are three versions: DualHoseFix - Keep two hose-loops in position. TriHoseFix (Codename "Biohazard") - For longer hoses with three loops. QuadHoseFix (Codename "Drone") - For ludicurously long hoses, or keeping multiple hoses together, or playing ninja. It works fine with PLA, but if that is too rigid for you, the more flexible ABS can also be good. The thickness can be changed for more strength. I kept it as thin as possible to be able to clip into the hose. The inner diameter for hose holders is 35mm.

In this case the only post-printing thing to do is "remove brim". How I Designed This Made using Blender in a few minutes. :)
