Using 3D printing to upgrade/repair busted power tools

Got a busted cordless power tool? I did too, with a a Dyson vacuum that worked perfectly apart from the battery. I managed to design and 3D print an adaptor to take Ryobi batteries so it could live on and keep sucking! (in a productive way).

This video is a case study in thinking outside the box and using your creative skills to repair and/or enhance items around the house in a state of disrepair.
