3D printed vacuum hoses

[3 minutes of fame]

Having failed to find any suitable files, I asked a good friend of mine to draw something up. This is the result.

If there's any interest, I will sell these for £12 for 6, UK postage included.

I can scale them as required to 7mm, 16mm, 1/32 etc. Just let me know the size you would like.

Can you produce a version with a 'saddle' on the large pipe at the bottom?

I want it to go under the end of the stock, and be fastened to underside of the cross-member.

It just gives a little more surface area for the adhesive..

Thank you,

I'm sure the answer is yes. Do you just need a flat bar section a few mm into the pipe section, located on the upper side of it?

[Phil.P]

Yes please..

How does this look? I've added in a small landing plate to assist with gluing in place.

That looks to be perfect..
I just need to think of a compromise size, which will do for a couple of ideas I have.

Not an issue with a mix of sizes. I've also created a couple of alternative designs for LGB and other manufacturers, as easy replacements or swap outs.

Herewith the 4 options now available - plus of course, the ability to scale to any size.

I've added a version with underbody support, plus a couple to fit existing LGB stock.
