Broke a Broom

broom9I was washing the outside glass of the conservatory using a water hose attached to a broom…yes I know…I am not usually a fan of those Jerry Rigged setups….

Well, I am glad I did not fall from the roof, however the broom did and I broke the attachment from the handle to the broom.

Long story short I decided to re-build it. We can save this broom.

Noe helped me make the design in the inventor software, exported it to Makerbot, waited for the print to come out. Noticed a slight mistake in the design. Re-design in Inventor, re-print.

Et Voila ! Almost as good as new.

Fairly impressed with the strength of the part. I printed it with 75% infill in PLA and it is strong .
