I don’t mean to alarm you, but you’re not doing a good job maintaining your clothes dryer. “But I clean the lint trap regularly!”, you say. That’s only half the job! Did you know that lint gets trapped in the cavity that the lint filter slides into? You can’t even see it!

You can purchase the file to 3D print this dryer lint trap vacuum attachment for $2 CAD.
Don’t worry though, here’s the fix: print this attachment and put it on the end of your vacuum. Suck up all the lint. Feel the endorphins surge across your brain as you check of this chore from your to-do list.
The attachment is big - it will take up the entire print volume of a Prusa MK3S 3D Printer (250mm x 210mm x 210mm). You’ll need to rotate it 45 degrees on the print bed. There is a nice little flat surface that doubles as a hanger hole - you can position that part flat-side down, and then print without any supports. PLA is just fine for this model, but if you’re feeling bold and are looking for maximum durability, PVC would also be a good choice.
I forgot to clean the lint basket in the dryer! If someone broke into the house and did laundry, it could start a fire!
