Intex skimmer - upgraded parts

prusaprinters

<p>I just added an Intex skimmer to my Bestway steel frame pool, and found the retainer ring too flimsy. It will get loose too easily. This ring is a bit tighter and 2.5cm high. It sits more snug.</p><p>Also, the Intex skimmer won't sit tight enough on my Bestway steel frame pool. I made an adapter that snaps onto the frame and is a better fit for the screw mount. The picture shows both parts.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>*printing: For both parts, I used ABS and it works nicely. ASA would be better though, as it stands UV light better than ABS. Time will tell. Don't use PLA for the bracket, it needs to be a bit elastic to snap over the frame.</p><p>Print settings: Basically, any line height is fine, go 0.3mm if you want this done fast. &nbsp;I used only 7.5% Gyroid infill for the bracket because it saves a lot of plastic and low infill keeps the part more flexible.</p><p>2 perimeters are enough.</p>
