DIY RC Pool Skimmer Parts

prusaprinters

<p>I saw a remote controlled skimmer at the pool store and thought I could make something similar. I've made a few different versions. I thought I'd put the various parts here in case someone was looking to make something like it. When I added the "sweep" sections, which also hold the weir door, I just solvent welded them to net holder parts with MEK (they were printed in PETG).</p> <p>The frame of my skimmer is 1/2 inch PVC. The various 3D printed parts are designed to slide onto the PVC.</p> <p> <figure class="media"> <oembed url="https://youtu.be/2Ey_C2Fxwb0"></oembed> </figure> </p> <p>I designed everything in Tinkercad, so I don't have any other files except the STLs.</p> <p>The battery holder was remixed from <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:698768">http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:698768</a>.</p> <p>You need a pretty big build area for some of the parts. I printed everything on my homebuilt D-bot (200x300x300 build area).</p> <p>My D-bot: <a href="/make:204199">http://www.thingiverse.com/make:204199</a>.</p> <p>Original D-bot: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1001065">http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1001065</a>.</p> Category: R/C Vehicles
