Dyson Fluffy Laser turning connector

[edit @ Aug 5th 2025] 

🔥 V3 is here! This version should finally address the weakest point with an added rim around the piece (or “lug,” if you prefer) that used to break frequently - the one the cable passes through. Since my last PETG print eventually failed, I also suggest changing the print orientation to increase the layer bonding area. This time, I printed it in ASA. Hopefully, this will be the final version :)

V2 of the model now is with increased wall thickness on a weak spot which failed for me after few months. When printing this, I also increased flow by 2% and PETG temperature by 5°C to increase bonding & strength.

I also spotted the cutout for the cable (in one of the bottom hinges of the model where one is full, the other one has the cutout) may be too small and could pinch the cable so I would recommend enlarging it with pincers.

My Dyson brush had a catastrophic failure…

There is no official distribution for Dyson replacement parts, so I had to work around it. The whole brush is over $100, the turning connector can be found at around $35, so why not have it for free?

Recommended at least PETG with strength settings like 6 walls and/or 80% infill. My first prototype in PLA - draft quality - lasted for around 6 months because I was too lazy to disassemble it again. This version is revised and should last longer also due to adjustments of some stress points.

Now the replacement process is quite time consuming but if you buy the connector at $35 you'd need to go through it anyway.
