When my Toyota Cresta was delivered from Japan a few months ago I went to use the windshield defrosters on the ride home from the port only to be blasted in the face with a load of dust. I had seen similar attachments before for basic vacuums but couldn't find any to fit my Dyson when the time came so I whipped open Fusion and made my own in 4 and 6 mm hose variations to fit between any size air vents. Prints in place, no supports needed, minimal cleaning up in the button area and holes may be needed
Parts/Tools Needed
- 4mm (5/32") or 6mm (¼") OD tubing - I used polyethylene as it was readily available locally.
- your favorite filament for functional prints
- superglue
- razor blade or very sharp knife
- heatgun - only for those also using PE or similarly stiff tubing
Assembly
- 3D print the model of your choice
- Trim your tubing to the desired lengths, mine are about 18" for a good deep cleaning.
- Remove any flared edges at the end of the tubing to ensure an easy fit.
- Add a drop or two of superglue to the OD of the tubing near the end.
- Insert tubing into the the holes on the printed attachment, give them a little twist to spread the glue for a good air tight seal.
- Let the glue dry then you're ready to vacuum out of those vents.
- (Optional) Use the heatgun and a heavy object on each end to get some of the curling out of your tubing if you chose a stiffer tubing like I did.
