SunSun 304B/404B/704B Media Basket Replacement

thingiverse

Testing out a replacement media basket for my 404B. Most have had the same issue of the baskets essentially deteriorating over time, so this is a replacement. I think it's "close enough" right now. I believe the 304B/404B/704B all use the same size baskets, that's how I see them advertised anyway regarding replacement parts so am making an educated guess. I didn't do handles, I'm trying to make it so it doesn't require support or bridging, I can deal with getting the baskets out without it so I didn't want to waste the filament or complicate the prints. I'm a simple person. Baskets are pretty big, I have access to a Z18 printer, but if you have a more consumer-oriented printer, these may not fit on your plate. Of note - I've found that normal PLA filament is fish safe for my freshwater fish setups. I've made quite a few ornaments with it, and I just break it off the build plate, rinse it off, then throw it in the tank and weight it down with substrate, fish are good, no issues. If you are using other filaments, not so sure how that'll turn out without letting it sit in old water for days, or maybe it shouldn't even be used, not sure how long it takes for chemicals to leave the material. **EDIT 9/4/2019** Basket height changed from 64mm to 59.75mm. Total height of 4 stock baskets is 239mm. Not sure what I was doing with my original design, but I couldn't close my filter and found out why. Now it'll fit better.
