Description
A remix of a grit guard for use in a bucket to prevent grit from sponges/wash mitts, etc. being picked up and resulting in scratches to the car paint. The grit falls through the guard and remains safely at the bottom of the bucket. This remix is a suitable size for a standard bucket, rather than a specialist (larger) wash bucket. The size also allows two sections of the grit guard to be printed on one plate of the Bambu Lab A1 Mini printer. Photos show the grit guard printed using PETG filament - a mix of colours as the black ran out part way through. PETG will stand up to being wet, plus the car washing chemicals, better than PLA, which would tend to go brittle fairly quickly. Could also be printed in ABS or ASA, though that would increase the cost, and neither can officially be printed on the A1 Mini.
