3D printing: Drain cover

My dad was asking if I can solve a problem for him. The problem was 20 years ago bought drain frame that was installed in the bathroom. Now the cover middle of the frame was broken and it´s impossible to buy a new one. It´s impossible mainly because the old manufacturer does not exist anymore and the cover is not part of any modern standards.

The only solution to this problem is that I have to model and print the new cover. The modelling part was pretty fast and easy because geometry was simple, just circles with brackets.

As you can see the result was perfect and the problem was solved. It was pity I didn’t find a right color…
