the most difficult part of the process was to attach the vent hose to the back of the machine.

Yep. It’s not too easy. Here is a topic on a 3D printed flange extension that works well.

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…

Here is another solution. There are a couple links in the following topic that offer some off the shelf solutions.

Venting/Tracking down leaks (continued)

I use this to attach the hose to my GF. The rubber boot makes a tight seal on the short flange of the machine. [34432-03-1000] http://www.rockler.com/dust-right-quick-connect-4-elbow
