"Quick" connector vaccum hose adapter for Ryobi R18ROS-0 orbital sander

Starting to use the 3M cubitron sandpaper that is demanding a vaccum not to clog. Found a random vaccum hose and whipped up a adapter to fit the ryobi. I went for the screw sulotion becuse my hose is (too) heavy, I think magnet or clips would break the connection fairly easy, and I wanted a easy solution with few parts and entirely 3D-printed. My vaccum hose is attached to a 3D-printed cyclone.

Why a split nut? I plan to make more adapters in the future and did not want to be constraied by the diameter of the hose and threads, I could make the hosecoupler bigger but I think that will make it unessesery bulky. This way I can add a bigger adapter then the size of the nut.

Prints are not oriented becuse you have to orient them depending on your printer. I printed everything standing on end. The thread part of the model do not need support, But the overhangs need some, I recomend painting support on.

I used regular PLA it works just fine, but I would recomend something stronger for prolonged use.

Assembly: Put the sander adapter part between the halfnuts, glue the 2nut half together, be careful not to glue the tool part to the nut.
Added the STEP file assembly so you can easy see how it goes together.

Just press the sander adapter with the nut on the sander. press the hosecoupler on the hose, screw the 2 together and Wham bam! "Quick" connector upgrade achieved.

May fit other sanders or equipment, the sander adapter side is Ø37 innside diameter. The hose side is Ø45.5 innside diameter
