Pool leaf skimmer repair

thingiverse

I just got done fixing my second leaf skimmer, but a repair part I made to fit the handle ended up breaking the plastic frame around the net. Guess that means a new frame was born, and I'm combining it with an insect net. To smooth out the pins, I used a wood burning tool, and then melted the net onto the frame all around. A better net might be preferred, though. I printed this on my Tronxy x5s 3D printer's 33*33cm bed, and it was a tight fit due to my setup. There wasn't even room for skirting. I set it to print three perimeters and 50% infill with no support. Fingers crossed that it'll hold up during the summer. Let's hope the sun keeps shining on all of us this summer!
