Pool pump overheating issues. I didn't realize how hot an electric motor gets. The fan that was installed in the pump broke, Nick tried to glue it, but it didn't hold up. So he 3d printed one, then another (center hole was too big, tried to print an adapter, but that didn't work at all...), then another. The issue is that they get too hot and deform.
His current design is pretty tight on the shaft. I had to heat it up to get it on. Maybe it will work, not sure. It ran for 2 hours last night. Time will tell.
