I've had a Shop-Vac brand 12 gal wet/dry vacuum for years. It's a great vacuum with one fatal flaw - the latches that fasten the lid and motor onto the steel canister. They don't have enough tension to keep them in the latched position, so they'll randomly (and at the least opportune moment) unlatch resulting in dust all over the shop.
These are very slightly tweaked to ensure better tension. I printed in PETG, I would recommend against printing in PLA as this takes a fair amount of load when you're lifting the vacuum. They should fit a range of Shop-Vac vacuums, especially the models with the stainless steel barrel. No supports required to print, and no tools required to install.
Hope you enjoy, and that your frustrations with your vacuum are gone!
