I bought my 3d printer partly for this reason. I struggled with Fusion 360 but now it’s very much clearer. Now I can get on with my dust collection hose connector/adaptors. Thanks Steve.
Cool! I've made a few of these since. I saw on thingiverse, someone added a modified version with a ridge on the end to hold it in the hose better. I haven't used Fusion360 since so forgot all I learned. lol
You are one smart guy Steve, and I sure do like your sticker display. Shows lots of respect for your fellow UA-camrs. Congrats on your success with the hose adapter, it certainly is a problem for lots of folks.
So great! This is similar to one of the very first things I 3D printed (no video). 3D printing is quickly becoming one of my favorite hobbies! Great work Steve!
Thanks for the quick how to, it was just the hint I needed to knock out a few different adapters! My only complaint, is that my Crealty printer doesn't have a jazzy sound track....
Always nice to see you again! Good to hear the printer finally worked correctly for you. Thanks for the interesting video and for showing the problems! That new filament roll “roller rack” you made was a great idea and build. 5.5 hours is a long time BUT it was better than waiting for shipments that ended up being wrong anyway. And now that you have the measurements correct and printer working, you’ll be making them for friends and family gifts this Christmas.
Thanks for posting this video Steve. I've been looking for a dust control adapter for my ROS for a while now and came across your video last week. It convinced me to go ahead and purchase the 3d printer I'd been considering. I got it in Wednesday and printed my adapter today. Worked first try and that's from a guy with no CAD experience. Thanks again for the tutorial!
Thanks, Steve! I've been considering a 3D printer for my shop. Great info here! With respect to hose adapters: I've been messing around with heating up PVC pipe with a heat gun and reforming the PVC pipe to fit different diameters. It works but not ideally. I like what you did here. Thanks again.
I've done the pvc thing too. I'm actually printing some of these to replace those. There is an elbow that I would like to try printing which would be a good challenge.
Hey Steve that came out great. Excellent use for the 3D printer. I can think of a few fittings I need to print for my dust collection system. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Man thanks ! I will get back to you on this ! I dont have dust collection in the shop since I mostly just use a Scroll Saw. The new table saw makes a mess though lol. I only have a 6 gallon shop vac at the moment to clean up with.
It can sometimes be difficult finding the correct shop-vac adapter. I went along to the plumbing center and picked up some lengths of PVC plumbing pipe of two or three different diameters. I then cut them to the desired length and slipped the smaller diameter pipe inside the larger one and used PVC weld to hold the two pieces together. I have made 5 now and they all work great around the workshop. Just thought I would share that for peeps who don't have a 3D printer.
I think it has to do with constraints (which fusion 360 does a bad job of showing you). Notice how he draws the circles off-centre from the origin. In addition, you need to make sure that the second circle's centre point is not constrained on the first circle's centre point. In the sketcher, make sure nothing but "Show Constraints" is checked in the "Sketch Palette" window on the right. Then look for the circle constraint, select it, and then hit delete.
Hi mate before i start, our heatwave is well and truly over now, it's been bouncing these last couple of days. Anyway as for the video, it's amazing how technology has come through these days, i don't have the 3d printer plus i'll be useless with the input of the size i wanted, heck i struggle with Sketchup that's why i prefer PDF plans ha ha ha. As for the adaptors, i agree you can never find the size you want so i just go old school and either make them, or lately i have used a heat gun and melted an adaptor just enough to fit what i want it for, then let it cool down, adaptor done. Take Care mate. Barry (ENG)
Okay I knew i seen this video. I just got my printer and i need an adapter. Just got done watching Bobs video, but he is so fast and i wasnt having luck. Just watched yours, so i will see if i have any luck.
Well, you did an outstanding job, Steve. I was going to drive to the Atlanta show but I don't think my back and hip can ten-hour drive, and I am too much of a coward to fly.
Hey, thanks! Yeah, I need to print some more stuff. I think it only uses plastic-based material, because it basically melts it and spreads it layer by layer. There is filament out there that has wood and metal in the plastic, but it's still mostly plastic.
Fun thing, thingiverse has a few models on their site designed by people who've done parametric models. So you can easily make your own adapter! :D Honestly great site.
A-PLUS, Starving Youngun! Maybe you cn run a hose from the fridge for a cool breath before the snow starts falling and the steam blanks everything out. It's been hot here so I know it Has to be hot there. So stay as cool as you can and frost will be here sometime in the next 6 months!
Nice design. Looks a little thin on the printer, have you had any durability issues? I'm printing one now and will find out for myself but would love to hear a review with some age on it.
Hey, thanks! I printed two of these and still use both of them connected to stationary tools. Sometimes I disconnect one and attach it to the floor wand, but it slides out too easily unless I tape it on, but it's rare I use it for that. A design change to solve that would be good.
@SteveCarmichael printed it. Came out well in just over 2 hours. Was a little loose in my hose but a few wraps of Teflon tape solved that. The working end fits attachments very nicely. It even felt stronger in my hand than I thought it would. Used esun pla+ because I plan to keep it outside in texas. 9/10 Good work! I'm thinking about trying the remixed version with barb, but he changed the design and in my opinion made it weak. In slicer you can see it only has 2 walls on the straight part. Will try soon and let you know. Thanks again.
Hey, total print time was about 5.5 hours. Cura shows an estimated time at the bottom of the screen, which is cool. The printer is so quiet and I checked on it about every hour or so.
Steve, great to see you using your 3D Printer in the shop. if you print it on its side with supports underneath it will be stronger as the layer lines will be perpendicular to the force on the nozzle when using it. Also Tinkercad is an easier program to design with for anybody new to this. I use it all the time on my channel if you ever need help. Great solution.
Hey, thanks! That makes perfect sense, like wood grain direction. I didn't know it was possible to print it that way. May try it on the next one to learn about using supports. I will try Tinkercad. Fusion 360 was a little frustrating trying to get things to move and shell like I wanted.
It's an older Folger Tech Prusa i3 kit that I got in a trade from someone else. Look up Prusa i3 kit on Amazon and a bunch will come up. They are about $159 now. Here is one that looks more updated than mine - amzn.to/2B59Ufw
Hi Steve I was was thinking about getting a 3d printer for clamps tooling an like you I struggle trying to get the right size adapters to fit. Do you think they are a good investment.
A kit like mine is about $150 these days. I have it just to play with and make occasional videos. This is the first time I've made something I can use though.
I just got a 3d printer and am the process of printing anything that I can use in my shop. The main things are peg board items and the black plastic knobs for jigs. Do you plan on sharing the stl file?
Hey Steve, nice Video have you noticed your printer lost one of the left linear bearings which is now jammed against the left Z leadscrew? Keep up the good work
I will have to look at it. I noticed there was a white plastic bushing at the top left that had worked its way up the threaded rod. Also the front right thumb nut that adjusts the bed height vibrated off a couple of times. I got it in a trade, so someone else put it together. Thanks for letting me know.
Hey Steve, great video. You sold a $300 Autodesk product today! I was wondering about your measurements on the hose and nozzle. 2.0 and 2.3" respectively. The vaulted, narrower portion of the smallest end is 2.0. If your hose is 2.3", is the clearance between the ID of the hose and the 3D Printed part the .3" allowance for it to fit snugly?
Hi Kevin! I did? Wow, that's awesome! Thanks! I watched my video again for the measurements. The end that the vac attachments slide onto is tapered. The attachments have an inside diameter of 2.3", so I made the tapered end start smaller at 2.2" and go to 2.4", so that the attachment would slide on and get snug about half way in between. The other end that slides into the hose is just 2" straight with no taper, because I planned to glue it in, but it's actually tight enough that I haven't bothered gluing it.
I could see you coming out to the shop at 2 am in PJ'S. and fuzzy slippers and a hat with the ball on the end, this thing did not print.....to the moon with you......wait wrong time of year....that would be winter time.....now well thanks for not recording that.....LOL....we would be lucky if you had shorts on.....ROTFLOL
Ha ha, Robert! LOL, I have been known to leave the air compressor on and then it starts up in the middle of the night. I don't bother with PJs and slippers.
I can't remember, but I watched the video back and it looks like I clicked off to deselect them, then clicked on the outer edge of the big circle, then dragged the arrow up to move it. Make sure you don't have both circles selected.
Very neat, but the Fusion 360 part was wayyyy to fast, it was like *click,circle,click,extrude,click,drag,circle,move this here, move that there,shell,rotate view,done*. I think I need more practise with this app :)
Thanks! This was my first time with Fusion360, so you prolly don't want to learn from me. lol You can pause the video or use the video controls to slow it down. Bob at I like to Make Stuff has a new Fusion360 course you might like. Lars is awesome too - ua-cam.com/users/cadcamstuff Good luck and have fun!
Ha, yeah, it was funny but kind of disappointing to see the nozzle just moving around mid-air after a couple of hours of success. It was easy to fix though. I didn't know there was a vase mode. Will have to look for that.
I am thinking about diving into the 3D printing world, and I really like your method for supporting the spools so they can rotate with ease. Should you ever find the need to do multi colored printing, I just watched a video from 3D Printing Nerd about something called Palette 2, which allows almost every printer on the market (as long as it uses 1.75mm filament), to print using 4 colors at the same time. You can find that video right here ua-cam.com/video/gd3FGrIDYn8/v-deo.html

I wish I had a 3d printer to do all kinds of things for the shop. You never cease to amaze me.
You are one smart guy Steve, and I sure do like your sticker display. Shows lots of respect for your fellow UA-camrs. Congrats on your success with the hose adapter, it certainly is a problem for lots of folks.
Thanks! The sticker spinner keeps growing. I may need a second one.
@@SteveCarmichael it's pretty cool!
by the way, to not have to resize your files in cura after finishing in fusion save it in mm when you're done making it.
Steve - thank you so much for showing this. I just created my first Fusion 360 design, adapting an Electrolux attachment nozzle to a tiny brush head.
Exactly what I need, thanks! Very well explained!
So great! This is similar to one of the very first things I 3D printed (no video). 3D printing is quickly becoming one of my favorite hobbies! Great work Steve!
Thanks Mike! I have a feeling I will find lots of uses for it now that I have a workflow to produce stuff.
Well it’s pretty clear that I need a 3D printer...so many possibilities when you control the design! Thanks for sharing. 👍🏻
Steve, that is amazing. Nothing more frustrating than setting up dust collection.
Thanks for the quick how to, it was just the hint I needed to knock out a few different adapters!
My only complaint, is that my Crealty printer doesn't have a jazzy sound track....
Always nice to see you again! Good to hear the printer finally worked correctly for you. Thanks for the interesting video and for showing the problems! That new filament roll “roller rack” you made was a great idea and build.

Hey Mac! Yes, I can see it now...it's going to be a shop vac hose attachment Christmas! :) btw, there are only 134 days left to make gifts!
What a GREAT idea, Steve!!! Absolutely brilliant.
That was slick, Steve!

Thanks Paul! It's pretty awesome to be able to create a part that I couldn't find anywhere.
Great Video Steve ! i'm trying to find the correct adapter for my new Kobalt Table Saw dust port !
Hey man, if you can't find one let me know and I can try to make it.
Hey Man thanks ! I will get back to you on this ! I dont have dust collection in the shop since I mostly just use a Scroll Saw. The new table saw makes a mess though lol. I only have a 6 gallon shop vac at the moment to clean up with.

did you have an issue where trying to move one of the circles just moved both? can not get it to work following this vid
not sure what i have missed, but when i try and move the circle along the vertical plane, nothing moves or changes, what have i missed?
I think it has to do with constraints (which fusion 360 does a bad job of showing you). Notice how he draws the circles off-centre from the origin. In addition, you need to make sure that the second circle's centre point is not constrained on the first circle's centre point.

Glad you could solve your adapter problem, Steve!
Hey Dave! Yep, problem solved.
Nice job Steve! I just recently got a 3D printer and I'm still learning, but I'll try this out!
Okay I knew i seen this video. I just got my printer and i need an adapter. Just got done watching Bobs video, but he is so fast and i wasnt having luck. Just watched yours, so i will see if i have any luck.
Fusion 360 is a trip. Figuring out how to draw stuff like you want it is challenging. Good luck!
Neat! You should go into a special fitting business and capture the market.
Very cool Steve, I am still trying to learn Fusion 360. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Marc, this is the first thing I've tried. It was a good starter project since it called for just circles, move, loft, shell, and hole tools.
Well, you did an outstanding job, Steve. I was going to drive to the Atlanta show but I don't think my back and hip can ten-hour drive, and I am too much of a coward to fly.
That is awesome Steve. I can't wait to get a 3d printer.....working on the cnc now....lol. keep it up and see you in ATL.
would like to see ur shop vac set up
Nice fix using bearings
I got those bearings for fidget spinners a long time ago, but never made any. lol
Wow you make fusion look so easy. I still use tinkercad
I learned just enough to make one of these. It took a lot of trial and error to figure it out though. It's not the easiest app to pick up.
Cool project Steve! thanks for sharing the video with us.😎👍JP
Great tutorial! Thx for posting. Subscribed
Well played.
awesome .... i like the printer case
That was neat. How many types of material can the printer accommodate (besides plastic)?
Hey, thanks! Yeah, I need to print some more stuff. I think it only uses plastic-based material, because it basically melts it and spreads it layer by layer. There is filament out there that has wood and metal in the plastic, but it's still mostly plastic.

Hey, total print time was about 5.5 hours. Cura shows an estimated time at the bottom of the screen, which is cool. The printer is so quiet and I checked on it about every hour or so.
You lost me on the computer part but was cool to see in action.
I bet you could sell those and make a new extra dollars; great project!
Awesome Steve! I really want to get a 3D printer!
Thanks Mark! This is the first time I really used it other than printing little Thingiverse objects. Now I'm hooked.

@@SteveCarmichael ah; yea same here. Jumped from google sketch; still struggling at the basics.
i have tried everything, and both my circles move together, please help :(
Wish I could help, but I haven't used Fusion since then. Lots of tutorial videos on youtube from other people though.
having the same issue, have you found a solution?

Look up Patrick's Workshop. He makes and sells 3D Printed stuff. patrick@patricksworkshop.com

Yes it sure is a pain too find the correct adapters for pipework not for you my friend you can now make your own
Glad to see some more printers failing! Try doing it in vase mode so it won't be weaker on the seam. Next up...my world cup?
Ha, yeah, it was funny but kind of disappointing to see the nozzle just moving around mid-air after a couple of hours of success. It was easy to fix though. I didn't know there was a vase mode. Will have to look for that.
sub'd!
Thanks I appreciate it Optimus!
I am thinking about diving into the 3D printing world, and I really like your method for supporting the spools so they can rotate with ease. Should you ever find the need to do multi colored printing, I just watched a video from 3D Printing Nerd about something called Palette 2, which allows almost every printer on the market (as long as it uses 1.75mm filament), to print using 4 colors at the same time. You can find that video right here
ua-cam.com/video/gd3FGrIDYn8/v-deo.html
Wow, that is really cool. Didn't even know that was possible to make multi color filament. Thanks for the link!
The Palette 2 will allow you to put Van Halen stripes on anything you print. :)
