O'Cedar Spring Mop Foot Pedal Gasket

thingiverse

Gasket for O'Cedar Spring Mop bucket foot pedal. For those of us with wood/laminate flooring the O'Cedar Spring Mop is a go to for everyday spills/cleaning. Suddenly you hear a bunch of clicking and the mop wont spin anymore or spins very slowly. Thought I needed a new bucket. Looked a little closer and realized that the gears were just out of alignment. Over time the gasket on the right side of the foot pedal wore down, throwing the alignment off. Granted its only $35-$40 for the bucket, but I have a 3d printer and some TPU so why not make one myself. Pulled out the calipers, measured, and used Tinkercad. Took about 5 minutes to design, 18 minutes to print (25 point bed leveling sensor time included), and 1g of TPU. Works perfectly now. A few pennies for something that others would throw away and spend another $40 on. FYI, I used TPU so that I could bend the gasket into place. There's not much space between the foot pedal and the frame of the bucket, but I wanted it to not fall out. Any type of filament would probably be OK, just would have to do some prying out of the bucket.
