I couldn't find an acceptable easy-to-print and strong flex hose, so I made this one. It's a solid part that has appropriate reinforcements around the base where it's weak,.. seriously, it takes a lot of force just to snap these together, but they're fairly air tight and they hold their shape pretty well. My big desire in making this was a piece that wasn't just a shell, but was actually solid inside, so I made this from scratch using FreeCAD to end up with good wall thickness and also very tight tolerances.
I print them with a raft, open side down, and it's best to snap them together if you warm up one side a bit. You'll get the hand after a couple pieces if your hands don't hurt too much :) Don't force them straight on, kind of wobble them on in large motions.
Another thing I do is set the diameter of my filament to .32mm so that it overprints the walls an
