Two jobs bring Meaco owners here. The first is a snapped or stripped hose connector where the exhaust pipe screws into the machine, which Meaco does not sell separately. The second is adding a second hose so the unit stops pulling cooled air out of the room. We hold print-ready files for both, print them to order in our Basingstoke workshop and post them tracked across the UK.
Community designs by ejytsu on Thingiverse (CC-BY-SA) and Celizior on Printables (CC0). They are not our models: we are the print service, and we print and post them for you. We do not design or modify parts ourselves. Different unit? Ask us and we will look for an existing community design, licence permitting.
A single hose blows your cooled indoor air outside. That air has to be replaced, so warm outdoor air is pulled in through gaps around doors and windows. You are cooling air just to throw it away.
Because warm air keeps leaking back in, the unit runs longer to hold the same temperature. On the hottest days, when you need it most, a single-hose unit can struggle to keep up.
A second hose feeds the condenser with outdoor air instead of room air, so the room stays sealed and cools faster. It is the same principle used by higher-end portable units that ship dual-hose from the factory.
Order any of these on their own. Prices update live and are for the printed part.
The connector where the exhaust hose meets the unit, remodelled after the designer broke his own during a heatwave. Fit it with a hose clamp: the printed threads are approximate, which is exactly what the clamp is there for.

The cheapest way to add the second hose. It is not Meaco-specific, it adapts the intake side of most single-hose portable units, so check your intake before ordering. Small, quick to print and easy to post.
Approx. 77 g printed · from £6.00
The bigger option for the window end, joining a 150 mm intake hose to a window cover or panel. Worth it if you want a tidy permanent setup rather than a hose hanging out of the sash.
Approx. 460 g printed · from £30.00Connector sizes vary across the Meaco range. Measure the diameter where your hose screws into the machine before ordering, or send us a photo on WhatsApp and we will check it.
Our pick for the machine adaptor. It sits against the warm side of the unit, and PETG handles that far better than PLA for very little extra.
Fine on the intake side, where nothing gets hot. We would not put it on the exhaust connector of a unit that runs hard all summer.
The most heat and UV resistant option, printed on request. Pick this if the unit sits in a conservatory or strong direct sunlight.

Not one we can print. The Meaco-specific dual-hose mods shared by the community are licensed for personal use only, so we are not able to print those for customers. What we can print is the exact-fit MeacoCool MC machine adaptor, which replaces the connector where the hose meets the unit, and a universal intake adapter that adds the second hose on almost any single-hose portable air conditioner, Meaco included. If you own a printer, the personal-use designs are free to download and print yourself.
The designer made it for the MeacoCool MC series and notes it may suit other units with the same connector. Connector sizes vary across the range, so measure the diameter where your hose screws into the machine before ordering, or send us a photo and we will check it for you.
A single-hose portable air conditioner pulls air from inside the room to cool its condenser, then blows that air outside. That leaves the room at negative pressure, so warm unconditioned air is drawn back in through gaps around doors and windows. A second hose gives the condenser its own outdoor air supply, so the room stays sealed and cools faster. It is the same arrangement higher-end portable units ship with from the factory.
For the MC machine adaptor you need a hose clamp to tighten it down, which the designer recommends because the printed threads are approximate. For a dual-hose conversion you also supply one standard portable-AC hose for the new intake, a cheap and widely available part. Message us before ordering if you are unsure which hose fits.
PETG for anything that sits against the warm side of the unit, which includes the machine adaptor. It costs a little more than PLA and copes far better with heat. PLA is fine for the intake side in a shaded room. ASA is the most heat and UV resistant option if the unit sits in strong direct sun, and we quote that on the order page.
There is nothing to upload, we already hold the print-ready files. Open the order page for the part you want, pick material and colour, and check out. Postage is £5.55 Royal Mail Tracked 48, free on orders over £40. We print to order in our Basingstoke workshop and post tracked, usually within a few working days. UK delivery.
MC machine adaptor from £16.50, universal dual-hose intake adapter from £6. Printed to order in Basingstoke and posted tracked across the UK: £5.55 postage, free over £40.
