Terry,
If you go with your second option of using the plywood plate with a
cut-out, then this code should help. You would add a straight cylinder
at the top to form your push-in attachment, and a lugs with screw holes
at the bottom for fixing the plywood.
Cheers,
Steve

Thanks Steve, that would be handy because I expect I do have some
aluminium or plastic tubing that would be the right diameter for my
hose - but my hole cutters are unlikely to match it.
Did it preview OK for you? I took the first section and pasted it into a
new file, but then had various problems with EOLs. With those fixed(I
think) the following gave me: WARNING: No top level geometry to render.
module funnel(h, d, x, y) {
// Makes a solid shape that is a rectangle at one end and a circle at

Terry,
The EOL issue is probably from the source code being messed up when I
pasted it into an email. The lack of geometry to render is because the
first block is a module that gets called from the second part. You need
to include all the sample code to see any output.
In my first message, I forgot to point out that the example funnel
dimensions are the inner dimensions of the two ends of the funnel. You
may need to compensate for that if you're making a shape that goes over
a fitting rather than into it.
