Why and wherefore
If you have started to use the camlock hose adapter (https://www.printables.com/model/461256-shopvac-50mm-camlock-connectors-with-magnetic-catc) by @peterh, but you still want to use your old Starmix hose-ends/nozzles like me, this may be of use. It adapts the Starmix 50mm collar inside the nozzle to a camlock end, with just enough space to reassemble it. The pivot function of the hose-end is retained.
How to use/assemble:
- Remove your Starmix nozzle from the hose by pressing in the 2 little tabs on the side and prying off the front (gently, ofcourse). Remove the front bit/nozzle/whathaveyou.
- Unscrew the collar (white in these pictures) from the hose, minding that it unscrews clockwise instead of counterclockwise,
- First place the retaining ring on the model.
- Screw on the collar
- Click the nozzle into the palls on the retaining ring.
Printing
I've succesfully printed this in PETG with 15% infill. No supports are needed, although the screwthread may end up slightly nicer with supports. Still works flawlessly without.
Attribution
I've used the drawing by @peterh, the creator of the camlock system, to create the camlock end. I'd advise anyone who uses more than one hose or tool in their workshop to check out his camlock models!
