Dear all, After half a day of programming and a night printing I am (with success) nearly at an end of this project. I solved it in my way with 98% OpenScad. But I love the tube-  and thread-function in BOSL2.... The biggest diameter of the sphere (on the botton) goes to the vacuumer, the others are with a thread, which fits to a normal vacuumer hose - those both parts are printed now. They are going to be connected to the table saw. If anyone is interested I can send a picture of the complete installation later . Nevertheless I think that this is a very useful project and I will use it as my first Thingiverse upload. Following the idea from Opensource I will upload the SCAD file BR Karl Am 17.08.23 um 10:22 schrieb Marcus Poller: > Hi Karl, > >> I found the enclosed adapter on Thingiverse. > [cylindrical Y-adapter with different diameters on each side, one of > the cylinders has an inner thread] > > Has your problem been solved? > > If not: > > (1) Do you require the inner thread of the smaller exhaust cylinder? > (2) is the angle between the two small exhaust cylinders important? > > I think the model can be simplified to four cylinders - two outer > cylinders add up to the y-shape, two inner cylinders to make it > hollow.

You might want to change the 'bosl2' includes to 'BOSL2' for those who are not using Windows, where the case doesn't matter. Otherwise that's pretty nifty, although I get an awful lot of warnings when I try to render it. > The biggest diameter of the sphere (on the botton) goes to the > vacuumer, > the others are with a thread, which fits to a normal vacuumer hose - > those both parts are printed now.
