I love the vacuum extraction on modern tools, but often get bored of constantly having to reattach hoses, so I created this simple switchable duct that allows one of two hoses to be easily selected to the vacuum. 

The inner sleeve has positive stop positions at each of the exit port locations to mean its easy to select the correct hose. 

It is based on standard Festool hose fittings, but could be adapted for other systems, it can be mounted directly on an MFT rail for easy access , or fitted directly to a CT-VA cyclone when out of the workshop. 

It uses an M6 brass insert to hold on the lever, and a few 30mm M6 cap head screws and nuts to hold the body together.

PETG works well, its best to force supports only from baseplate, i made the lever in PLA which is fine
