I have a 20-year old 18 Gal. Shop Vac. Still runs great so when I lost this part I went looking for a new one. I was very nervous about purchasing this after I saw some very bad reviews. But there were no other options, so I went for it. I can tell you that the plastic is of high quality. It is strong, slightly flexible like you would expect from high grade plastic. It looks injection molded to me. But, I’m no expert. Also, it fit perfectly into the after-market Shop Vac bag I purchased from Home Depot. I hope this and the pictures help.

Not 3d printed, at least not the new version which is what I got. Fits perfectly and doesn’t seem brittle like others reported

I don’t know if they’ve changed the product, but the one I received is an apparently high quality injection molded piece. It appears to me to be like the original, and is working as well as the original. The hose fits and it fits the bags.

Great product replacement, works like a charm in Shop Vac 6 gallon. Awesome that it could be replaced. Great shopping experience & very quick shipping & receipt.

Based on the reviews of the older version it appears they switched to injection molding for this version fit great is just flexible enough to get in place and holds the filter bags properly. Not much else to say except it works.

I was wary of this part due to voluminous bad reviews regarding shape and quality. I think that this is still a 3-D printed part, but the quality and fit greatly exceed what the earlier reviewers experienced. Many said that they returned the part and I was prepared to do the same but I needed a diverter so I took a shot. I’m glad I did, because Shop Vac is out of business so OEM parts are impossible to find.
