Hard to find items...

Anyone know where I could get one (or two) of these? Especially during the lockdown. It seems the pool was packed away two years ago and they weren't packed with it. I only need one, but a couple of extra ones may be handy.

They don't ship to Ireland, and they are on amazon for £28 (the pool was €34).
Or available from USA for €40 delivered, and arrive between 17th June - 1st July.. Which is no good..

I realise I am clutching at straws here, but not many options at the minute..

Parcel motel no?..

Thanks, using Parcel Motel/Wizard etc. I can only find one for roughly the same price as the pool.
Addresspal would definitely keep the price down, but no idea how long it would take, I might have a look at that.
I think at this stage the options are looking more likely, to buy a new one. But seems like a lot of waste..

Thanks, the thought crossed my mind, but I have no idea of the prices etc. or if they were open, and didn't know where to start.

I found one here, but I can't add it to the basket..a lot of dead ends.

I will look up any local printers and enquire about prices etc.
I think this is it

I'll look up some and ask them in the morning, late now. Thanks again.

where you able to source someone to 3d print that model?

ran out of white filament halfway through - but looks like it could work?

Yep, that looks perfect. would you sell that one?


To the first question - No, I tried a few 3d printing hub sites, and left messages to a few on each site, but no replies yet.
Somebody came up with the idea to use a potato cut to fit - and today covered with clingfilm, it worked Not sure that would hold again, but it did the job for them today, although being careful not to pop it out.
