This is a compact docking station for the Dyson Humdinger for use within tight spaces with limited vertical clearance.

It was originally designed to be mounted inside a cabinet with the vacuum resting in the dock sloped slightly downwards so that it comes to rest up against the charging connector.  In this way, the dock takes advantage of the cabinet's depth to store the vacuum.  The dock can also be mounted to a wall with the vacuum held vertically (or at some other angle) if you have more vertical clearance.

Print the parts in their given orientation without supports.  I used PETG with 0.3 mm layer height, 0.6 mm nozzle, and 3 perimeters, however the model should print fine with different settings.  There might be a little drooping of the bottom corner fillets and around the charging connector hole but it generally won't be seen.

After printing, clear away loose strings and open up the charging connector hole to 8.5 mm (approx. 11/32") diameter with a drill or reamer if needed.

To install the charging connector, fully seat the barrel jack into the hole in the bottom of the dock, then cup the retainer part over the back of the connector, and screw the retainer into place with M4 x 16 mm flat head screws (or similar).  Plastite screws are great for this.

To install the attachment mount, use some strong double-sided 3M VHB tape (or similar) to stick it to the desired surface after cleaning with alcohol to ensure a good bond.  The attachment clicks into place so it can be suspended by the mount from above or be supported by the mount from below.  The wand attachment mount keeps the wand parallel to the wall.  The motor head attachment mount (not shown) tilts away from the wall to ensure sufficient clearance.
