UPGRADING the Ryobi Vac-Attack Leaf Vacuum and Mulcher! | 3D Printed Adapter! | 2022/10

I have a Ryobi RY40405BTL Vac Attack Leaf Vacuum and Mulcher, and it has been a workhorse. But the bag is just stupid. Its awkward, and it gets heavy. After a full season, I finally modified it with the WORX Leaf Collection system, but now my cordless vacuum is tethered to a trash can by a 8 foot hose.

Well I discovered that Black and Decker has an outstanding collection bag for their BEBL7000 3 and 1 Vacuum and Blower. The disadvantage is its corded, so that defeats the purpose and takes it out of the running as a comparative or competitive product. But the collection bag that comes with it, is probably the best in the lawn segment. So my challenge was to make it work with my Ryobi Leak Vacuum.

If you have been following my channel you know that I have been experimenting with 3D printing, and this was the opportunity to use those new skills and tools to my advantage. So I did some measurements, and then jumped into Sketch-Up and started the design process.

Now, I am by no means an expert in Sketch-Up, but after fumbling around learning new techniques, I was able to get a functional model done, and printed.  It took a few prototypes, to get a good fit and function.

I hooked it up, and it worked perfectly! I am so glad that I took on this challenge and it works perfectly! Cannot wait until autumn when there will be more leaves to really put it through its paces.
Thanks for watching Dad It Yourself!!!
