Sonic cleaner basket

[270WSMXBolt]

I have a Hornady/iSonic 2 liter sonic cleaner that I'm wanting to print a new basket for as I cannot find a replacement basket anymore. A friend suggested I ask if anyone may have an STL file for them? What does the hive mind have? Cheers and thanks in advance.

I cannot imagine PLA or the like surviving in an ultrasonic machine. I've left a part in for too long and had it strip cerakote off steel.

I regularly use a ziplock freezer bag. Put the brass and solution in the bag, put it in the tank with a bit of water and clean. Dump the contents through a strainer and rinse. Less noise and no marks on the brass from the basket.

My Ultra Sonic cleaner says to never run without a basket. I'm not sure exactly why, it doesn't say, but I really like your idea for ease of cleanup. Obviously you have no issues with the Ziploc "absorbing" or dampening the ultrasonic waves or anything, you still get a good clean?

Works great, just don’t put in without some water in the bottom or the bags will often break. They will also eventually develop a pinhole somewhere, but never had any issues with the brass cleaning as usual.

I have been advised about not using an ultra sonic without the basket as well. The explanation given was it causes them to burn out. Don’t know if it is true but that was the claim

These are abs plastic baskets with metal handles. I have three in total but only one left with the handles intact. The baskets don't leave marks on the cases. Cheers and thanks everyone.
