What it is

A wall or bench dock where a hose end parks magnetically when not in use.

How to measure

Measure the magnets you bought (diameter and thickness, or ring size) before exporting: the pockets are cut to those numbers plus the clearance you set. For each end, measure the hose, pipe or port it joins with calipers. If that part slides into the fitting, measure its outside diameter and keep “Measure by: Inner diameter”. If the fitting slides into a hose, measure the hose’s inside diameter and switch to “Outer diameter”. Measure twice across the circle; flexible hose is rarely perfectly round.

Print tips

• The export already places every component in its recommended print orientation. Keep supports off sleeves, sockets and any sliding or tight-fit surface so they stay smooth; if your slicer asks for supports, paint them only where an outside overhang needs them.
• Glue magnets with every pocket on one half facing the same way and the opposite way on the other half; test polarity before the glue sets.
• The “To buy” list shows the purchased hardware it needs.

Frequently asked questions

What size should I measure?

Measure the magnets you bought (diameter and thickness, or ring size) before exporting: the pockets are cut to those numbers plus the clearance you set. For each end, measure the hose, pipe or port it joins with calipers. If that part slides into the fitting, measure its outside diameter and keep “Measure by: Inner diameter”. If the fitting slides into a hose, measure the hose’s inside diameter and switch to “Outer diameter”. Measure twice across the circle; flexible hose is rarely perfectly round.

What should I print it in?

PLA or PETG both work for dust collection at room temperature. Print in PETG or ASA if the air is warm or the part sits in the sun. Use 3–4 perimeters for an airtight wall; infill matters much less than wall count for ducts.

What hardware do I need to buy?

It depends on the options you choose. The “To buy” list in the designer shows exactly what your sizes need.

Does it need supports?

The export already places every component in its recommended print orientation. Keep supports off sleeves, sockets and any sliding or tight-fit surface so they stay smooth; if your slicer asks for supports, paint them only where an outside overhang needs them.
