Description

This is a cover that encases the crank pulley that opens and shuts the umbrella. The screw holes may need adjusting depending on the screws you use. I printed one test piece of PLA and noticed it does not do well in the sun. I would suggest using ASA, Nylon, PETG, or ABS. I did paint the pieces black after I finished them. The piece is 3 inches in diameter and 5 inches tall. I have included the broken piece as well as the newly printed piece. 

UPDATE: So we had a storm. And even though the part I printed was PLA it held up amazing. I am attaching a picture of the wind blown umbrella and you can see the PLA print coupling is still in tact. I was impressed by the strength of the PLA.
