Shower drain hair catcher cover

prusaprinters

Hair clogging your shower's drain?  Here's a cover that slips over the existing drain of your shower, but with tiny holes.  Rather than sitting flat on the existing cover, it's raised a few millimeters so that water can flow through all of the holes, and into the drain below.This cover is designed for a 115mm diameter shower drain, and is 5mm high.  The OpenSCAD program used to generate it is provided, and you could tweak the numbers to fit if you need a different size than the STL file that's provided.Printed with PLA, 0.3mm layers, probably not critical.  No supports.[2022-07-21] New!  Improved!  Version 2 with a couple of insets for disc magnets.  Solve the problem of the cover lifting and floating on soap bubbles under the cover.   I used UV curable resin material to affix the magnets and also encapsulate them from the water.  I don't know if these magnets will rust or not; we'll see!  It's certainly possible to use some other adhesive for the same purpose.  Alternatively, re-generate the object with smaller holes for a “press-fit” vs. glue alternative.
