Anyone know of a manufacturer that sells a manual filter roller? If not, what about anyone who has a plan for a 3D-printed option?

Every time I 3d print something for the reef tank it breaks after a few months Because of the salt and humidity. i would suggest making one out of another material. There are some diy ones on YouTube.

I think if the filter roller was manual, it would probably defeat the purpose. If your not around to advance the roller, it would just pack up the filter media and overflow. If you had one with a big enough media surface, I'd just run sock, as for me it would be about the same amount of work @ that point.

I am working on a set of plans. I will have some updates soon hopefully. Here is a quick picture so far.
