Hoover Conquest

Someone on ebay is selling 3D printed replacement fans for Elites. It uses the later 20 vane design. I bought two and they seem well made. The original were plastic too so I don't see it as sacrificing durability. Gotta keep those old veterans running.

3D printing seems to be getting better. Not more than 8 years ago a 3D printed fan was likely to detonate at high RPM or any small nick in the blade.

#d printing, if done with a good printer, is very strong now. Good stuff.
