Remember, blowing large quantities of air though PVC plumbing can build up "entertaining" amounts of static charge.

I'll send pix but no matter what size I scrunch them down to, JK rejects them. Why is that? I'll attach some png's from OpenSCAD anyway cuz a pix is worth 10,000 words. The 3 combined is only around 63k. This fits the old style shop-vac bucket-vac with both ports facing up. I assemble this using 1 foot of a 2 foot piece of 4" sched40 as the outer hull. the inner 2 inch and 3 inch pieces will need to be cut to 10 3/8", 1 & 5/8" shorter. The internal offset is driven by the clearance to the intake port and to the motor housing on top of my older style bucket-vac. The top end of the 2" section will have 4, 1 in holes drilled in the side with a hole saw to function as the 2 inch to the clearance between the 2 inch and 3 inch sections. The end of the 3 inch fits in the notches cut in the locating dividers which serves as the 3 inch to 4 inch transition. The rest will be sawed to length on my Bosch cantilevered chop saw. I can make more of these end pieces if someone else needs them. PM me for details. Take care & stay well, all.
