Polaris Backup Valve Gear Replacements
Here are some replacement gears for the backup valve on a Polaris 200/300 series pool cleaner that is operated by a booster pump.
The backup valve allows the cleaner to move around to a random area of the pool, and should open and close regularly. If it is stuck open, it's likely that one of these gears has broken.
They're pretty easy to replace, and not that difficult to print. I use SirayahTech Fast and Tenacious in a 5:2 ratio. Sliced in Chitubox Basic, printed directly on the bed with some bottom layer compensation in order to keep the teeth clean.
Would love to see some good FDM examples. I don't have that type of printer right now, so I can't do it. Probably ABS or nylon or another filament that is chemical resistant and won't absorb water.
