Description
The true power of 3D printing is when we create and share our ideas with the world.
The Shark vacuum canister is sealed with some foam-rubber type of gaskets. They fall apart in short order. I can't find replacements, so I decided to model and fit some. Yes, Shark, I can buy a WHOLE NEW CANISTER - but why?
Printed with TPU. I used 10% infill to allow a little ‘give’, but we'll see how it holds up. The only TPU I have is a little on the firmer side, so your mileage may vary. Check to see how the lid fits after you put it in place. Make sure you've left enough room for the latches to close!
