152mm (150mm) Magnetic Hose Coupling

I bought a laser cutter and the ventilation pipe is 152mm PVC tube. To make my life easier when it's not in use I made these hose couplings so that the pipe can just detach when needed. I also made an adapter that can go against a flat surface for the exit. These sorts of pipes are used for washing machines too so it would would there as well.

To mount the PVC pipe I used 6 M4 screws, nuts and washers and pierced the pipe and mounted it to the internal diameter.

For magnets I use 8mm x 5mm neodymium magnets. You may find some are tight and some are loose so if needs be use some glue to hold in. All the parts have holes to help remove the magnets again if needs be.

I'd recommend a short length of PVC pipe from your machine mounted with a jubilee clip with one of these, then your intermediate pipe with the hose coupling going to the exit. Use the sheet coupling which can be mounted to a flat surface using foam tape or other similar adhesive.

As per my normal routine, the step files are available for those that want to modify for themselves.

EDIT: I've added a duplicate of the Hose to Hose style with a smaller tube so that a jubilee clip can be used to attached instead of screws. In case that makes it easier. I've not tested this so use the STEP file to adjust if needed.
