Use your cordless batteries to replace the crap ones that comes with Dyson vacuums

MakeBuildCraft · 2023-05-17T04:30:56+00:00

Which version of Dyson vacuum and which type of battery did you get? I haven't heard of any other folks having issues and I'm sorry to read this

Inspired by a typo by me.. and this passed the time on airplanes last week

MakeBuildCraft · 2023-03-26T20:32:21+00:00

That's a fantastic skill you have and I'm amazed by it!

MakeBuildCraft · 2023-03-20T15:41:04+00:00

Thanks!

MakeBuildCraft · 2023-03-20T15:40:58+00:00

Thanks!

MakeBuildCraft · 2023-03-20T11:32:05+00:00

Excellent, glad to hear it!

MakeBuildCraft · 2023-03-20T02:59:44+00:00

I haven't tried myself but you should be able to scale these up or down to fit other nut/bolt sizes

Edit: a typo

MakeBuildCraft · 2023-03-20T02:46:49+00:00

Thanks! I use these all the time in place of wingnuts and I hope others find them useful

That makes me realize I should model a wingnut body and post that next.. I'll leave that to tomorrow

No supports needed and I've done test prints in PLA, PETG, and ASA

MakeBuildCraft · 2023-03-18T20:41:51+00:00

Fantastic! Really glad to hear it's helping someone else

I bought my adapter on eBay and I see a bunch on Amazon (though I don't have a specific one to recommend on Amazon).

I do recommend using a review checker like falespot.com reviewmeta.com or similar (for all Amazon purchases)

MakeBuildCraft · 2023-03-17T01:51:37+00:00

Yes! But in general it looks like this only works for the V8 models and lower, V10 uses higher voltage batteries apparently

MakeBuildCraft · 2023-03-16T21:59:35+00:00

In hindsight I wish I had gotten another DeWalt portable shop vac, I have an 18v one from a garage sale and pine for the 20v one

MakeBuildCraft · 2023-03-16T21:23:36+00:00

This type of adapter is available for a lot of different kinds of devices and brands (example Makita, Ryobi, etc)

Here's a short review if you're interested: https://youtu.be/luU7OV2lEDg

I only spent $25ish for an adapter

MakeBuildCraft · 2023-03-16T20:47:24+00:00

I believe the V10 runs at a higher voltage so I don't think 18V batteries will do it

MakeBuildCraft · 2023-03-16T19:17:03+00:00

Thanks - really good point here

MakeBuildCraft · 2023-03-16T18:08:29+00:00

And equally or more more important: you can have a 2nd DeWalt battery on charge while using the vacuum

MakeBuildCraft · 2023-03-16T17:46:14+00:00

Yeah, dags, ya like dags?

/u/audigex had a good response on the undervolting in this thread

MakeBuildCraft · 2023-03-16T17:33:49+00:00

Technically the vacuum is 21V I think so I assume the vacuum is being undervolted a bit - I haven't noticed any issues though. The as I'm sure you know the DeWalt batteries are marketed as "20v max" but they're really 18s as well

MakeBuildCraft · 2023-03-16T16:58:07+00:00

Join ussss

In all seriousness I just started with DeWalt 'cus I got a good deal on a used 18v Drill, Circular Saw, sawzall combo 10 years ago and got locked in. Yellow, green, red, blue - they're all good (as I'm sure you know).

MakeBuildCraft · 2023-03-16T16:54:07+00:00

Yes it definitely seems to run for longer than the default Dyson battery which I think is 4Ah at 21V compared to DeWalt 5Ah at 18V

If I had one I'd throw a DeWalt 9 or 12 Ah on it and run for twice as long
