Our Hoover Spinbrush carpet shampooer's brushes recently stopped spinning. I found that this was due to the drive brush being broken. Someone has already modeled the drive shaft (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:777031), but the issue with ours was that the brush itself was broken. Luckily, the part that broke off was found, so I was able to use it to get externam measurements, then super glue it back in place. I modeled this part to give it extra strength since the glue would not be enough to handle the torque needed to spin the brushes. I super glued this part in and gave it a few minutes to dry before attempting to use. It's been in use for roughly an hour since repair, and still going strong, so hopefully this works long-term. Hope this helps someone else!

Notes:
I initially printed at 10% infil with a .6 nozzle, as this was a prototype, but it seemed pretty strong, so I went ahead and installed it this way. I would suggest a higher infill for additional strength.
