Pool skimmer basket SK-B11016 (Hayward Classic) - Modified printable shape

thingiverse

Replacement basked for Hayward Classic SK-B11016 swimming pool skimmer basket. Much stronger than the original. Print with ASA ideally, but PLA or PLA+ or Nylon would do fine (until the chlorine and water gets to the PLA!). The shape is different as the original shape would require excessive amounts of supports to print. Print upside down. I got away with no supports with only a little bit of stringing. I've included the Autodesk inventor files as well as the STLs and some pics of the original. I went without the handle as you can easily get grip on the inside walls to pull it out for clearning. I've included two sets of files, 4mm and 5mm diameter horizontals. I'm running with the 5mm version because we have a lot of fine blossom in the summer, but I think the 4mm (which gives you larger holes throughout the basket) will be fine for most climates/litter-conditions.
