Hello, are there any vacuum attachments for the form labs recommended vacuum which are best suited/designed/shaped for vacuuming of the build chamber and inside the Fuse? I want to get in all the nooks and crannies and keep this thing clear and a medical clean room.
I’d be cool with buying, but it would be even better if I could print them on the Fuse, like if there were special designs that I could print and attach to my vacuum.
Think thinner, longer, curved and angled tips to get in the hard to reach places.

I have made a few from their list of files for the fuse/sift/blast but I also Mae an attachment that I epoxied a long, thin aluminum tube to for cleaning out powder on the hopper side of the doser. That felt impossible to get out without this attachment.
I am currently printing an attachment for cleaning between the fresh powder fill hopper and the walls of the sift.
I find it hard to believe that formlabs doesn’t have more custom designed tools for this stuff.
Thanks for your feedback @3DP-MFG.com and @CARobertM!

Oh, they definitely will, but most importantly I just wanna keep the printer as clean and happy and in the best state as possible at all times. Anything to make that easier is valuable imo.
