NeedItMakeIt | 🔨 SUPER CLEAN your Shop-Vac Filter with this Simple and Cheap @NeedItMakeIt | Uploaded November 2019 | Updated October 2024, 6 minutes ago.
If you are constantly using your shop vac like me then you'll probably be searching for a better way to clean it. Before I designed this method, I used the "Wrap in a garbage bag and bump it against the floor method... all while holding my breath" the big disadvantage of this is when starting the shop-vac up, you get a big cloud of fine dust out from the exhaust. This new design is simple, cheap and pretty clean with none of the disadvantages of the previous method, it also ends up being faster as well.
Here is what you'll need:
A 3D printer, or access to one, this project is about 13 hours of 3D printing (relatively little)
1pc - 1/2"-13 x 12" Long Threaded rod (homedepot.ca/product/paulin-1-2-13x12-inch-thread-rod-plated-/1000797593)
5 pcs - 1/2"-13 Nuts (homedepot.ca/product/paulin-1-2-inch-13-finished-hex-nut-zinc-plated-grade-2-unc/1000123145)
3D Printed Top Plate thingiverse.com/thing:3980086
3D Printed Bottom Plate
3D Printed Knob
Drill (Low RPM works best)
