Swiffer Wet Jet Handle Replacement

thingiverse

This is a replacement handle for the Swiffer Wetjet. This handle is right handed. I believe a translation of both parts would result in a working left handed version. I made this model because I wanted a handle replacement that was "fast" to print and light on resources. This model uses < 100g of PLA. Printed with PLA and I used epoxy in the final version because the small screw recesses are easily snapped off and I wanted the handle to last. There is a lot of room for improvement on this design, but the measurements of bolt holes and placement of electronics are accurate. Future Improvements: -Knurling on handle -Snap fit -Locking connectors instead of screw recesses. Print Settings Printer: I3 Clone Rafts: Yes Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.02 Notes: -Best results found when printed as concave -"Otherside" was found to print best with raft -"Buttonside" can be printed without raft but will result in additional post processing -"Button" requires support but raft is not necessary Issues: As a result of these objects being long and slender has there is a tendency to warp and lift as a result. I used additional cooling, printing as a concave, a well calibrated printbed and printed on bias to tape to avoid warping and lifting. Post-Printing Construction: -Designed to use original screws. -Best to use glue/epoxy if PLA is used. Screw terminals have a tendency to rip right out. -Electronics pop in terminals up, The button on the switch will be dead center when installed correctly. Notes for improvement: -lip of "otherside" could be reduced to improve fit. Light sanding worked fine for me.
