This re-directs the airflow out the back rather than out the sides.
I printed it with the mouth facing up and supports.
Use hot glue to attach so they are removeable.
The curve doesn't print beautifully, but works fine mechanically.
Someone can adjust if they like. SolidWorks file is included.
It also makes sense to increase the size of the outlets to be the same or greater in cross-sectional area as the suction hose. Didn't bother since it fit the first time.
The left side is a mirror of the right (done in PrusaSlicer)
