3D model description

I came up with this mod as was looking for a small vacuum for my workbench for cleaning up bits and pieces like clippings, shavings, and such. I just wanted a small handheld, but I couldn't find one that suited my needs. I then thought of the Opolar handheld duster that I already had which was the size I was looking for. So I looked at cyclone designs here and found it was an easy concept to just put one together myself specifically for the blower. (Model: Opolar Air Duster) Available from Amazon.

Print as originally oriented with supports on, BUT with the "base touching only" option turned on.

PLA is fine.

Works surprisingly well. https://youtube.com/shorts/V0_4fqzpeHU?feature=share

The debris collection container can be any small container. I used a cream cup and glued the tube into the lid.
I also used some sticky back cork to create a good seal between the blower and clip. Foam tape could also be used.
Do not glue the UTube part as it is used to tighten the assembly as well.
Add a cotton ball for extra protection into the opening beside the dusters intake.
Some sanding is required on the tube joints to achieve a nice tight fit.
Enjoy!
