The float for my Polaris 360 Pool Sweep had been broken from a fall along with the whip-tail connector.
I used PETG as it seems to hold up better in chlorinated water and high UV exposure.
Orientate the print in the horizontal plane with the shorter end of saddle clamp down.
Use rafts for arm especially on the slightly tapered threaded portion.
The water inlet tube that had the original arm was left with a stub after the fall. This had to be ground down and then sanded to match the same curvature of the water inlet tube with minimal undulations in its surface.
I also used a piece of stainless steel wire for alignment. This is inserted in the small hole on inside of the saddle bracket. This corresponds to a hole in the water inlet tube which will be revealed as you sand down the inlet tube to an even and proper contour.
Use strong bond, long cure-time epoxy glue slathered on the inside of the saddle clamp. Bind clamp to inlet tube with clamps or rubber bands to insure a good bond.
