I got inspired by LouisBlevine benchtop model and I wanted to use it for the floor but I did not want to screw the head into my floor, I wanted it mountable on a piece of plywood, but his model would not have allowed me to just push the debris into the funnel... plus it was a bit small...

So I made a new model following his example with OnShape: 58.4mm female connector for the Ridgid and I designed two screw hole and with the opening of the mouth to touch the floor...

I made two version: one with a drop of 11.9mm, which is a 1/2" plywood piece and the second one with 19mm, so it fits on top of a 3/4" piece of ply.

So the Final Dimensions are:

- 2.5" female adapter (58.4mm) ID

- Mouth openings: ~ 1 3/4" x 4 3/4" (45 x 121mm )

- Total Length of the entire adapter: ~ 2 3/4"

- walls are between 2.5 and 3.4mm in average depending on the "loft extrusions"

Let me know what you think... printing my first one with PETG

0.2-0.4mm
- 3 walls / 1.2mm
- Infill at 10-15% honeycomb
I recommend to use at least 3 walls (1.2mm) Brim since there is a narrow part to print by the nose that touches the floor for proper adherences and not to let the nozzle move it around and obviously with support… I included a picture of how the Creality slicer recommended the print to be done (both for time of printing and support management) with my settings set at Tree Slim Automatic at 53 degree and more.
*** now saying that, the “gold” prototype is a PLA only and printed at 2 walls and 10% cubic for speed just to make sure everything fits and it’s holding up pretty well…. I will wait that it breaks to reprint in a PETG with 3 walls!!!
