Filter Selector Ring / Pool Valve Ring

### 🇪🇸 Project Description
Has the original ring on your pool's selector valve lever broken or worn out? No need to buy an expensive repair kit or a new valve. This 3D model is a replacement specifically designed to fit and glue onto the selector section, restoring control and smooth operation to the filter (Filter, Backwash, Rinse, Closed, Recirculate, Waste).

The design is optimized to withstand weathering, constant humidity, and mechanical stress when changing positions.

### 🛠️ Assembly / Installation Instructions

1. **Cleaning:** Remove remnants of the damaged ring and thoroughly clean the area with isopropyl alcohol to remove grease, chlorine, or lime.

2. **Sanding:** Lightly sand the contact surface of both the printed part and the selector for better adhesion.

3. **Gluing:** Apply a strong adhesive suitable for plastics and outdoor use (high-density cyanoacrylate, two-component epoxy resin, or rigid PVC adhesive is recommended if both plastics are compatible).

4. **Curing:** Press firmly and allow the adhesive to dry completely for the time recommended by the manufacturer before operating the filter again.

### 🖨️ Print Recommendations (Print Settings)
To ensure maximum outdoor durability and resistance to chlorinated/salt water:

* **Recommended material:** **PETG**, **ASA**, or **ABS**. (Avoid PLA, as it will degrade quickly with UV sunlight and pool chemicals).

* **Layer heights:** 0.20 mm or higher.

* **Walls/Perimeters:** Minimum 3 or 4 perimeters for structural strength.

* **Infill:** 20% - 30% (Gyroid or Grid).
