Washer Basket (Agitator)

thingiverse

This is a wash basket with an agitator in the middle. Very useful when handwashing things, Portability, or when the main washer goes out. This design also has a small hole in the bottom which can be used if using a DC motor to make it rotate clothes without being done manually. It is recommended to print in a low layer thickness to ensure water to not leak out 1/4/19 After doing a few tests, I found that water will not leak out with 10% infill and 4 layer wall thickness since I made small prototypes that had thinner walls. Due to my small tests being successful, I thinned the wash basket for more capacity and and make the agitator slightly larger to help the clothes get clean, I also attached the agitator separably so a regular bucket can be used, I am still working on a way to move the basket/agitator manually so it can have better portability. I may also make a "holed" version in case one wants to also spin dry the clothes after agitation.
