Stuart Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Evening all. This is sort of car related. My GTech Multi handheld vacuum cleaner (that I use to clean my cars out) has just suffered a fan failure. GTech don't sell spare fans, but I have found what I think are the 3d printing files for one. Does anyone have any ideas where I might get one printed? Below is one of the images I have. Thanks, Stuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark (smokey mow) Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 If you’ve got the 3D model file in STL, STEP or OBJ file format you can upload to one of the online 3D print companies such as makeitquick to get a price. https://makeitquick.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corsechris Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 I can print you one in ASA, ABS, PETG or PLA if you like. Send me the STL and your choice of material (I’d probably go with ASA) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send me the STL and your choice of material (I’d probably go with ASA) @corsechris that's very kind of you indeed. Will PM you the files I have see if it makes sense to you. The info I have suggests using PLA I think. Of course happy to cover costs and buy you a drink or two next time I see you at a Warwickshire meet. PM on its way shortly Thanks very much for the quick answers guys. @Mark (smokey mow)the Make It Quick link worked fine and they priced the part at £5.87 - but they have a minimum £20 charge 🙁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corsechris Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 All done. Do you happen to have the OD of the thing to hand? I can check the STL was properly scaled. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted December 14, 2021 Author Share Posted December 14, 2021 That looks brilliant thanks so much Chris. Old one is 82mm OD but I don't think a mm or two either way is crucial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsechris Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Measures at 82.3mm OD Should be close enough, but the hub is the key of course. Assuming the design was right, that should be to spec. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted December 15, 2021 Author Share Posted December 15, 2021 Fitted - and working as well as it was before ☺️. Thanks very much again Chris. Don't you just love the camaraderie in this club? 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
