Replacement wheel for Jandy Zodiac Ray-Vac pool cleaner

**Update: 22 July 2019** The original parts fell apart during a summer of use, prompting me to reassess my approach. I realized I had been trying too hard to be fancy, so I simplified the design into two prints - the wheel and a spacer for the backside. With no supports needed, it's now a two-part print for each wheel. Another replacement part came in handy when a coworker asked for help with his pool vacuum. One of its wheels had worn out, but he brought me the good one to work with. I modeled it in Fusion 360 and printed it out quickly. Initially, I duplicated the original part geometry, but it would have looked ugly and required a lot of support material. I was about to print a version with a separate washer to avoid this issue when I decided to change the inner design. This new design allows only the outer edge to require support material, making it possible to print the part as one piece - simpler and more efficient.
