Drain Cover / Lid for Englefield Easy Clean Trap

thingiverse

A replacement drain lid for Englefield shower drains. Replaces Parts R4665XX + R466200 (Englefield Shower Waste Lid and Englefield Shower waste clip combined ) My experience tells me the Englefield Easy Clean Trap Lid Clip is designed to wear down and fail, and replacing them is expensive and inconvenient. This is my iniital attempt to make a replacement that is more robust (and a fraction of the price). I printed this with ESUN White PLA+ and (so far - its a new part) it seems to hold up fine. (I'm mindful that the heat distortion temperature of this is 53c - but I also know that - at least in my part of the world - hot water temperatures are limited to at most 55c and even a hot shower should be less then 45c (and ideally less then 40c). It may be worth considering printing in PETG which has a higher heat distortion temperature - 64c but I don't have that handy) I designed this in Freecad and provided the files if you want to modify the parameters. (Some people might want to raise the height of the legs it sits on by 1-2mm. I deliberately made this very solid - you can probably save some material by reducing the size of the cap by 1mm and the inner tube from 2mm down to 1.2 mm as its not structural). Likewise if you are never going to stand on it you can shrink the width of the feet significantly). That said, it cost me less then US$3 in materials - so 1/10th what a replacement Shower waste lid + waste clip would cost.
