Designed by vr6syncro @vr6suncro (https://www.printabxx.com/model/500562-shopvac-camlock-male-male-adapter/files) to fit the CamLock Ecosystem from Peter H (https://www.printabxx.com/model/461256-shopvac-50mm-camlock-connectors-with-magnetic-catc)

These adapters are just absolutely FANTASTIC !! I am printing everything I need to have one ShopVac Hose and to fit every tools that uses it in my workshop / garage.... the CamLock does not come off and it swivels to give you freedom to move your tools and sanders with ease ..! I'm just Loving It !!

==== Here the Description by the author ====

Standard 50mm (2inch) vacuum cuffs tend to work loose in use on many tools and are rather bulky, so I was looking for a simple locking system that would be easily adapted to any tool, so that anyone with rudimentary cad skills could customise adapters for their own tools, while using the standard CAMLOCK part.

Wierdly I've made an Adapter piece to suit my earlier VACUUM ADAPTERS which I've been happily using for some time and they work perfectly except that when using multiple tools it becomes a bit of a chore to remove them, unscrew from the hose, screw on the new fitting and go again.

I've printed all the examples here in PLA (Prusament Galaxy Silver or Orange) with a 0.4mm nozzle at 0.2mm QUALITY mode, but I've also printed a set in 0.3mm draft mode. Adding a few perimeters will probably add some robustness, but I haven't found that necessary thus far.

OTHER HOSE SIZES

I have made a series of adapters to fit other standard hose sizes for more information download an adapter HERE or see the link below.

THE CAMLOCK HOSE FITTING (Female Part)

The HOSE FITTING is obviously printed in two parts and requires a 30mm M3 machine screw (or 25mm if you can get it) to assemble. It is designed to screw onto most standard 50mm shopvac style hoses, and prints easily with no supports required. (See Magnet note below)

The CAM LEVER doesn't require support either. It has been designed with a 0.1mm tolerance to the adapter recess which doesn't sound like much but in practice means that in prolonged use combined with a vibrating machine it has the potential to undo itself. Inserting a couple of small (10mm x 2mm or 1.5mm) magnets into the parts will not only prevent that, but will provide a satisfying click to confirm all is in place.

Inserting the Magnets (this is harder to describe than it is to do!!)

The magnets sit embedded in square pockets - open the .3mf files attached in Prusa Slicer if you need to work out where they are exactly or just adjust those print files to suit your machine and filament.
