A brittle strainer basket, reproduced to survive salt and sun.
The slotted strainer basket that keeps debris out of a bilge pump intake, reproduced from a brittle original in carbon-filled ASA for constant salt water and UV.
The job
The slotted strainer basket that keeps debris out of a bilge pump intake had gone brittle and started breaking up. We reproduced it from the original, keeping the slot pattern and intake fit, and printed it in carbon-filled ASA so it takes constant salt water and sun without going chalky.

A deck cleat matched to the original footprint and bolt pattern.
A light-duty deck cleat matched to the original footprint and bolt pattern so it dropped onto the existing holes. Printed in carbon-filled ASA for stiffness on deck.
