Summary
This one is for vacuum cleaner hose with 31mm ish sized end.
I would print it with high infill.
The pits around the hose neck is for if you would like to drill them out to achieve a controlled leakage to save your vacuum cleaner.
I suggest that you use this thingie with 4mm soft pvc hose or 4mm YD filament bowden tube.
Hole taking the tube may need a little cleanup with a 4mm drill bit, run the powerdrill backwards to make a clean hole..
I use mine with 6 Litre ISTAD zip bags from IKEA

Notes:
ISTAD zip bags from IKEA are kind of fragile compared to other reinforced vacuum bags.
I found out that some filament spools carrying sharp edges from the way they are made and might puncture your zip bag when the vacuum pulls it against the spool structure.
I suggest that you put the spool in a open paper-bag or just wrap in some paper before you put it in the bag to protect the zip bag fro the sharp edges (And don't forget to also put a deficient bag in the zip bag) .
Post-Printing
I use Cura, you your fav app ;)
How to use.
- Connect adapter to your vacuum cleaner.
- Wrap your filament spool in some paper, put a desiccant bag by the filament, close the zip bag.
- open a small gate in the zip-lock insert the tube all the way to the filament.
- Start the vacuum cleaner (With the bleed valve on the handle open).
- When all air in the bag is removed, slowly retract the tube from the bag to the point that the end of the tube are between the two zip-lock rows (If it hat double zip-locks as IKEA-ISTAD)
then close the inner zip-lock row, completely remove the hose and close the outer zip. - check for leaks by monitor the bag for the next few hours.
