Dyson v7 Fluffy Vacuum Brush Bearing Mount

My trusty Dyson v7 Fluffy vacuum had been making some ear-piercing rattles that were driving me nuts! So, I decided to take it apart and give it a good cleaning. As I disassembled the thing, I stumbled upon a crucial plastic part that keeps the brush spinning smoothly - it's centered on a bearing with 8 tiny tabs holding it in place. Guess what? Four of those tabs were snapped off, leaving me wondering how this could happen under normal use! I started searching online for solutions and came across a genius user on Reddit named MarisKay (u/MarisKay) who had created an exact replica of the original part using 3D printing technology! You can find their brilliant design here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4223998 After printing this fantastic replica, I was thrilled to see it in action - but, unfortunately, my excitement was short-lived as the part broke apart mere moments after use! Back to the drawing board I went and decided to design a beefier version that could withstand even the toughest cleaning tasks. If you're up for the challenge, take a shot at breaking this new design under normal circumstances - I dare you!
