Description
My old Holman 20m retractable hosereel bracket failed from UV exposure and weight of the reel.
I designed a direct replacement that works well. I've only had it in use for 2 weeks so far but seems to be holding up well.
Printed in PETG with 50% infill and 6 outer layers for max strength as it holds a lot of weight and force when the hose is pulled.
Unfortunately requires quite a lot of supports as it should be printed as per installed orientation for best strength.
My print was a bit rough with layer separation due to low temperatures (I was using a new filament and didn't have it dialled in) but filled these gaps post-print with some CA glue and seems to be working fine.
