I have a small stream that runs along the back of my garden which used to attract kingfishers and egrets, until the council came along and dredged it leaving it baron and eventually over run by brambles.

I have been working to return it to its former glory. Fish have returned and hopefully the kingfishers will follow. But it has started to get choked with pond weed.

As I already use wolfgarten tools, it made sense to get a rake attachment but I wanted something smaller and more surgical, so I printed one.

Servicing the brakes on my bike and the flimsy screw tab on the side of the master piston retainer snapped off and as far as I can see, replacement parts are not available, needing a whole new brake lever.

Before giving in, I thought to just 3D print one.

The problem is that the layer lines create friction on the psston seal making them stick, and even after a bit of grease, I can still feel the seal rubbing across those layer lines.

So printed again with a slightly smaller bore, renamed it out to the required 10mm, and then finished off honing it out with wet and dry paper using this 3d printed honing tool.

Now it works just as well as the original, and more robust too. 😎
