regrettably the result of hacking together two shop vacuums isn’t a double-power monstrosity. This is really the story of integrating damaged as well as substandard parts into one usable machine. The people at the Shackspace originally gotten a affordable shop vacuum whose motor provided up the ghost method as well quickly. The replacement had only a small container for rubbish. So they did what any type of group of hackerspace members would as well as integrated the two.
Since they wished to utilize the voluminous enclosure from the damaged vacuum the very first buy of service was to eliminate the dead motor assembly. quick work was made from this by melting away the plastic utilizing an old soldering iron. The motor assembly from the little maker was then mounted in location with screws, as well as sealed with caulk. It was now working, thanks to salvaged hoses as well as accessories from other long-lost vacuums.
But a tiring hack this may have been if they stopped there. The team added a wall outlet to the top, as well as decorated the beast with RGB LEDs which are powered from a wall wart (hence the added wall outlet). It can double as a mood light when not in use.
