Sidebar 18 Shop Update
It's been 8 months since my last shop update, so I have a lot to catch up on. In this video, I talk about my latest project videos, some new products I like, and what's going on in the shop. I need to start posting these updates more regularly than every 8 months, LOL.

Make a Shop Vac Hose Adapter with Fusion 360 and a 3D Printer!
Trying to find the right size adapters for shop vac hoses is so frustrating! I don't think the size I need even exists, so I set out to design it using Fusion 360 so I can print one on my Prusa i3 3D Printer. Check out the video below to see if it worked!
This was a very rewarding project. I had never used Fusion 360 before and only printed a few small objects from Thingiverse on my 3D printer. Now I feel confident that I can design and 3D print any parts that I need. It's always awesome to learn a new skill.
The adapter connects really well with a nice friction fit in both ends. One end goes into the vac hose and the other end accepts the vac attachments. It worked!
I would like to thank Bob at I Like to Make Stuff for sharing his knowledge in the video below. This gave me a great head start for making my own.
