Description

I designed this crevice nozzle to specifically fit my RIDGID shop vacuum (model WD16400) as I could not find an exact replacement. The build is exactly 250mm tall - the limit of my printer. Please be aware of this when considering this print!

 

Print Information

  • Printed with a small brim, I thought this might be a good idea to give a bit extra bed adhesion given the height. I really didn't want to see my print fail at the very end.
  • Recommended using a lower layer height of 0.2mm for higher strength and a reasonably high infill of 50% to give this tool the best chance of living a long and sucky life!
  • This part was printed in PLA though it would likely be that much better in PETG or ABS.

 

Post-print Fitment

  • I found the fitment after printing was a bit tight. I think this may vary slightly from printer to printer and filament to filament. I am going to sand down the inside just a little bit to ensure the end seats to the lock.
