Wheel for manual pool vacuum

thingiverse

My buddy's manual pool vacuum was in a bit of trouble after he discovered that one of his wheels had broken, so he asked if I could whip up a replacement using my trusty 3D printer. I told him that's exactly what these machines are for - saving the day with perfectly printed parts! Since we have the same type of pool vacuum, I popped off one of my wheels, quickly modeled it on my computer, and hit print. Now he's got a brand new wheel that works like a charm. We'll just have to see how well the PLA+ material holds up to all that sun and chlorine exposure. Maybe this design will help some other pool owners out there too.
