HAAKE W45 Circulating Bath Impellor.

Description
You BREAK said impeller and are now out of LUCK! Righty Tighty, Lefty Loosy unless it is a left handed... :-(
You have CAD and 3D printer.
You also decide the design of the impeller could be improved!
You design better impeller, print it and use it.
WOOT!
(NOTE: The impeller in the pictures is wrong. I had to change the direction of the impellers as the were incorrect.)

Jay,
Interesting... Did you try to ever get replacement parts?
I do know Dimension switched to a different style "purpose built" water bath. Perhaps that's why.
It was crazy how fragile the plastic was, but after all those heat and cool cycles I can understand why.
I also did crack one of the rib
s on the external impeller housing. (non function rib)
I use straight tap water. I'm not sure the additional hassle of getting distilled water is worth it? Do you buy it or perhaps use the water from a dehumidifier?
I'd be interested in your housing files if you printed a replacement and are wi
lling to share.

Yup - ran into that one also - my impeller housing cracked around the the pipe fittings and they don't make any off these any more. It doesn't look like your using distilled water (heating element is all crusty) I found that I could run ~25% more parts through the bath when I switched over to distilled water (the area of California I'm in has really hard water)
