"Quick" connector vaccum hosecoupler

Vaccum housecoupler of my "Quick" connectors I went for the screw solution 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.

Included the STEP, so you can make your own adaptation.

Assembly: Choose a adapter to your liking, put it between the halfnuts, glue the 2 halfnuts together, be careful not to glue the adapter to the nut.

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

May fit other equipment/hoses
