Purple-black-rainbow LR3 🤷‍♂️ , build video @ https://youtu.be/FJ7nYio8oOE

Teal Makita was clashing with the core. Issue resolved!

Also… Sharing some details on my LR3 Vac Hose setup. I appreciate the recent topics/posts by misc people going through similar experience.

@Tokoloshe shared a neat parametric Vac Hose Adapter script, can use that script as-is for many scenarios.

Unfortunately the original script was generating a model with a flange…

Made some edits:

  • Added flag for removing flange, enabling gradual width transitions with shorter overall height.
  • Added cut out to fit around lower makita mount. Making install/removal easier.

So, ended up with a mix of reused, remixed and some created parts. Shared files/details at https://github.com/aaronse/v1engineering-mods/…/vac-hose

On reflection, I could have avoided needing an adapter if I didn’t print Doug’s makita-vac-upper…stl as-is, but instead tweaked the design to fit my hose diameter, or used a different 2-1/2" hose. Next time…

Hope that helps. Cheers!
