Learn how to design and 3D print custom vacuum cleaner nozzles in this 19-minute tutorial from Teaching Tech. Discover the complete workflow for creating specialized vacuum attachments that aren't commercially available, using Onshape CAD software (though the principles apply to other CAD programs too). Follow along as the instructor demonstrates measuring your vacuum, selecting appropriate filaments, and designing various nozzle types including a simple fitment model, generic nozzle recreation, wide and thin nozzle, PTFE tube sucker, and brush equivalent. Perfect for makers who want to create custom solutions for their specific cleaning needs through 3D printing technology.
