3D printable hose flange

[cathartech]

Surprised I couldn’t find one of these on Thingiverse so I designed one. I’ve printed it in PET-G and confirmed that it’s a perfect fit for the Glowforge exhaust hose. The overall height may be little excessive, so consider scaling Z down or cancelling the print before it completes to get the right overlap.

I am working on one that will use centrifugal force to pull out the big bits so there is less to clog the filter,
I am concerned however that short of a 14" x 12" x 7" 3D printer job that I can afford it will be hard to get it made . I will post it when it is done in Blender anyway.

3D modeling approach for flange design?

Hi – I want to work up a design for an exhaust port extension for my GF. I understand why the current design was limited to ~15mm, but I continue having a hard time getting a good (odor-tight) seal at that end. I have a 3D printer and figure I can easily print a female to male adapter fitting both the outside diameter of the GF exhaust and the inside diameter of hose/ducting. Using sketch-up, I can make two primitives with an appropriate wall thickness, one with the correct ID and the other w…

Thanks! Exactly what I was about to design.

here’s my finished window insert with printed flange attached. i put a bead of silicone caulk down on the contact points for improved sealing and it has been working well. at this time, the primary lingering odor comes from scraps (soon resolved by a knock-off pelican case).
