3D model description

The Problem

Ever tried to win a vacuum cleaner battle? I bet you came across the same problem I did: Vacuum cleaner hoses don't have a rail, so you cannot attach sights or laser targeting systems.

The solution.

A Nerf rail adaptor to fit vacuum cleaner hoses.

There are 2 clips that go around the hose. These slot into either end of the rail. Assemble and attach to your vacuum cleaner hose and you're ready for whatever Nerf targeting tools you have on hand. In the photos I'm using a Nerf Sight Extreme (not included). https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3063064

Printing

You can print everything at once, or print the rail and clips separately. You will need 2 clips if you print separately (one for each end of the rail).

Customising

I included the OpenSCAD source if you want to customise. The main one is TubeDiameter. At 60mm this fits my Dyson nicely. You may also want to change RailLength for a longer or shorter rail. If you make the rail shorter, you might need to reduce the number of bumps.

You will need at least version 2016 of OpenSCAD to customise the clips.

Comments

Let me know how you go. Do your attachments fit snug? Did you truimph over your vacuum cleaner wielding enemy?
