Dependably used for over two years! My 3D-printed skimmer continuously removes surface debris—easily mountable to any sand filter pump or conventional skimmer holder.

Functionality

  1. Suction via pool outlet
    • Connect the pump to the existing pool water outlet.
    • A 30 mm pipe connects the outlet to the skimmer inside the pool.
  2. Surface skimmer
    • Suspended solids are drawn directly from the water's surface.
  3. Quick-change bottom nozzle
    • A second outlet is located at the front of the skimmer: simply swap the plug, connect the bottom hose, and you're done!

Variants

  • Without net (standard): Ideal for minimal coarse debris
  • With net insert: Catches larger leaves, insects, and dirt

Advantages

  • No need to retrofit expensive skimmer systems
  • Customizable 3D-printed solutions for pools & whirlpools
  • Robust, low-maintenance design

Printing Instructions & Materials

  • Filament:
    • Main components: PETG (water-resistant)
    • Plugs & adapters: TPU (flexible)
  • Profile & buoyancy: I have already included a suitable print profile that optimizes internal buoyancy.

Recommended Print Settings

  • Outer component: 4 walls, 5 top/bottom layers, 20% infill, support required
  • Inner component: 4 walls, 5 top/bottom layers, 25% infill, no support 
  • Inner component with net: 4 walls, 5 top/bottom layers, 10% infill, no support
  • Print plugs and adapters with TPU and 4 walls.
